Need a new electric water heater?

If you are building a new home or replacing an old water heater, please contact us. We offer rebates up to $200 on the installation of electric water heaters when you choose to participate in our Load Management Program.

Tipmont will rebate $200 for the purchase and installation of a new 50 gallon electric water heater, when you allow us to install a load management switch on the water heater. For more information call us at 800.726.3953 or e-mail us

The Water Heater Load Management Program helps reduce the cooperative's overall operating costs.

We ask to install a radio-controlled device on your (40 gallon or larger) electric water heater which turns the electricity off  to water heater for a brief periods of time. This normally happens during peak times of electricity usage (demand) throughout the region. The hot water stored within the insulated tank will remain hot for a long time.

The small savings from each water heater adds up to a significant savings for cooperative, and in turn, you the owner. In exchange for allowing us to install the load management switch, we will maintain the electrical portion of your electric water heater, FREE OF CHARGE, providing any necessary labor, heating elements, and thermostats within your water heater!

For more information call our office at 800.726.3953   8:00am to 4:30pm Mon.-Fri.

Why Buy An Energy Efficient Water Heater?

Water heating is typically the third largest energy expense in your home (after space heating and cooling). It typically accounts for about 14% of your utility bill. If your gas water heater is more than 10 years old, it probably has an efficiency no higher than 50%. An old water heater can operate for years at very low efficiency before it finally fails. One way to reduce water heating costs would be to replace your old water heater with a new, higher-efficiency model.

About Water Heater efficiency

A water heater's efficiency is measured by its energy factor (EF). EF is based on recovery efficiency, standby losses, and cycling losses. The higher the EF, the more efficient the water heater. Electric resistance water heaters have an EF ranging from 0.7 and 0.95; gas water heaters from 0.5 to 0.6, with a few high-efficiency models ranging around 0.8; oil water heaters from 0.7 and 0.85; and heat pump water heaters from 1.5 to 2.0.
