    It’s not that expensive but it’s also not inexpensive but I highly recommend that if you have to replace your hot water heater that you get a hybrid hot water heater, more so if you live in a warmer climate.

    It is a win-win.

    One, it is more efficient at warming your water, saving you money and ultimately paying for itself over time.

    Two, it takes the coldness out of your water and blows it into the air of your home, saving you money on cooling your home.

    Three, it will dehumidify your air, making the sweltering summer months all the more pleasant.

    It will cost you approximately $1,000 more than a standard electric water heater of the same size, but if you live anywhere south of the midpoint of Colorado, it will pay for itself in energy savings in less than half of its lifetime and the savings after that point will pay for its replacement when its time is up.
