GAS WATER HEATER TIMER

Rigorous testing, of a similar water heater timer, at a state of the art research and development facility by a major water heater manufacturer has been done to determine how much fuel can be saved. Test results were consistent. Water heaters using a timer significantly reduced fuel usage.

Annual reduced emissions of 1,154 lbs. of CO2 and 311 lbs. of carbon. (Sources: PG&E rate and EPA Energy Footprint). There are approximately 55 million gas powered water heaters in the Nation.
