Efficiency standards for water heaters could deliver the largest energy-saving impact of any standard developed during this administration.

In most American homes, water heaters are the second biggest user of energy. So, making sure these appliances don’t needlessly waste energy would bring a lot of benefits to our health, our pocketbooks and our environment. This video explains the opportunity.
