Residential water heating represents the second largest consumption of energy in the home, right behind heating and cooling. For years, water heaters did not have the ENERGY STAR® logo, until now.

As of January 1st, 2009, the Department of Energy (DOE) released their final requirements for ENERGY STAR® residential water heaters.

ENERGY STAR® is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. Their goal for developing this program is to assist the residential water heater market in promoting high efficiency products that save money, use less energy, and deliver the same or better performance as comparable products.

Bradford White customers can expect many advantages from our ENERGY STAR® models.

  • Consumers recognize the ENERGY STAR® label as representing energy saving products that result in a "greener" home


  • A highly energy efficient product


  • More extensive product offering than retail stores


  • Certain utility companies will issue rebates for ENERGY STAR® products
