Hot water is more expensive than we all realize.  We use it for our dishes, showers, hands, washing machines, and cooking on a daily basis, forcing the hot water pump to exert energy and cost us money.  However, there is a cheap, easy way to avoid the high costs of heating water with the Minnesota Power’s Drain Water Heat Recovery System.  This system re-uses shower water to preheat incoming cold water before entering the hot water tank to about 75 degrees Fahrenheit.  This transaction results in less energy and therefore, less money.  Not only does this product estimate to save from $100-230 per month for the average family, but if installed within the guidelines, you are guaranteed a $400 rebate for the installation process.

            There are many perks to purchasing the Drain Water Heat Recovery System.  The obvious incentive of saving hundreds per year is just the start.  This system increases, strengthens, and lengthens the hot water capacity and life of your hot water system by reducing the energy force.  The hot water in your home instantly becomes more reliable.  Another advantage is that this system has no moving parts.  The installation process is easy and leaves no maintenance afterward.  With this system, you will always have a ready supply of hot water in your home.

            The $400 rebate is an incredible deal as well.  Processes like these are often expensive and disguise the financial benefits of installation.  However, with Minnesota Power’s assistance, this process becomes affordable and instantly beneficial.  In order to qualify for the rebate, you must have it installed by a certified plumber to a new or existing water heating system. This rebate is only available until December 31, 2010, so consider this offer while it lasts.
