Bradford White® Energy Star® Qualified Models
Residential water heating represents the third largest consumption of energy in the home, right behind heating and cooling and kitchen appliances. For years, water heaters did not have the ENERGY STAR® logo, until now.
As of January 1st, 2009, the Department of Energy (DOE) released their final requirements for ENERGY STAR® residential water heaters.
ENERGY STAR® is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. Their goal for developing this program is to assist the residential water heater market in promoting high efficiency products that save money, use less energy, and deliver the same or better performance as comparable products.

Electric Water Heaters
The Department of Energy has evaluated the inclusion of electric water heaters into the program and determined, while there may be slight initial savings to be attained, there are few technology improvements possible with this form of water heating to warrant qualification of electric water heaters in the ENERGY STAR® program.
Please find attached a letter released on April 1, 2008 indicating final DOE criteria regarding ENERGY STAR® Residential Water Heaters.
