NYC Compares Electric vs Solar Water Heaters

Would you consider switching to solar if it could cut your energy bills by 50–70%?

As energy costs rise in the NYC metro area, homeowners and businesses are asking: Should I switch from an electric water heater to solar? And which brand—Rheem or A.O. Smith—offers the best solar solution?

Solar vs. Electric Water Heaters
Solar water heaters use rooftop collectors to harness free energy from the sun, cutting water heating costs by up to 70% and reducing carbon emissions. Electric water heaters, while cheaper upfront, rely entirely on grid power—leading to higher monthly bills and environmental impact. NYC residents can take advantage of incentives like the 30% Federal Tax Credit, NY State rebates, and local property tax abatements, making solar more affordable than ever.

Rheem vs. A.O. Smith
Rheem solar systems shine with smart-home features like EcoNet® and LeakGuard™, plus strong warranties and U.S.-wide support. A.O. Smith’s ProLine® solar tanks focus on durability, corrosion resistance, and high solar contribution. Both brands are leaders, but Rheem offers superior connectivity, while A.O. Smith emphasizes longevity.
