Increasing your water heater temperature by just 10ÂºF from 130ÂºF to 140ÂºF may increase heat loss resulting in a larger electric bill from $30 to $75 dollars annually. Setting the temperature to 140ÂºF can also increase demand losses resulting in an annual expense of up to $500 dollars.

When heat or light energy is absorbed by glass, it is either shifted away by moving air or re-radiated by the glass surface. The ability of a material to radiate energy is known as emissivity. In general, highly reflective materials have a low emissivity and dull darker colored materials have a high emissivity.
