How can a blanket for an electric hot water heater save energy?
Hot water heater insulating blankets help reduce heat loss. This means your water heater won’t have to work extra hard to provide you with the same amount of hot water. This is an easy, inexpensive and effective way of saving energy. It’s important to note that blankets should only be added to a water heater that uses electricity. Water heaters that use natural gas should not have a blanket installed.
