Hot water heaters eat up a lot of energy. One reason
has to do with the fact one gallon of water requires over three thousand times
more energy to heat than an equivalent volume of air does. That's why it
takes a few minutes to heat up a cup of water on your stove even though the air
immediately above your stove gets hot almost immediately. While you can't
change the laws of physics to bring your water heating bills down, there are a
number of practical tips you can use to save money.
Water loss from a dripping faucet adds up over time. In
fact, you can lose several gallons of hot water a month from a leaky faucet.
Use Low-Flow Showerheads
Old style showerheads can use up to 10 gallons per minute
more hot water than necessary. This one inexpensive and simple change will have
a dramatic effect on your energy bills.

I've had this water heater for over one year and couldn't be happier with its performance. The temperature is consistent throughout its use and provides a quick response when turning on the hot water. I haven't needed any repairs or encountered any problems since I've been using this specific model. I also take quick showers and live by myself so that may have some influence on my decision.
