Why Replace Your Hot Water Tank?

MONOLITH HOUSING SOLUTION

Traditional water heaters account for nearly 20% of total home energy use. Older or poorly insulated tanks waste energy, leading to higher costs and inconsistent performance. Upgrading to a high-efficiency gas or electric water heater provides benefits such as:

  • Lower monthly utility bills
  • Improved recovery time and reliability
  • Reduced carbon emissions
  • Long-term savings and higher home value

An EnerGuide Home Evaluation from Monolith Housing ensures that your upgrade meets rebate criteria and energy performance standards.
