Hot water heaters are essential appliances for any home. Without them, there'd be no way to take a hot shower, shave, or run the dishwasher. Technology in the water heater field has progressed by leaps and bounds in recent years, and no model more fully exemplifies these steps forward than the AeroTherm® water heater by Bradford White®. Emery Plumbing in Hilo, HI, shares what makes this new model such a worthwhile investment. 

3 Benefits of the Bradford White AeroTherm

1. Energy Savings

As a result of the AeroTherm water heater's efficiency, users save an average of $300 a year on energy costs. But because Hawaii's energy costs are almost three times that of the mainland U.S.—35 cents per kWh compared with 12 cents—energy savings for locals using the AeroTherm could reach $900 annually. 

2. Multiple Modes

Another attractive feature of this hot water heater is its versatility. While most conventional heaters can either be turned on or off, this Bradford White model features four modes: heat pump mode, electric mode, hybrid mode, and vacation mode. Heat pump mode boasts the greatest energy efficiency. Electric mode loses some of that efficiency in exchange for better responsiveness and recovery time. Hybrid mode strikes a balance between heat pump and electric mode, while vacation mode maintains a water temperature of 50 degrees for an extended period. 

3. Warranty

All high-quality appliances should offer a warranty, and the Bradford White AeroTherm is no different. This hot water heater comes with a 10-year warranty, ensuring that consumers will not only be able to rely on the product for a decade, but also save thousands in energy costs over its lifetime.
