water heater wattage

Water heater wattage is related to how much hot water the water heater can make in an hour. The more wattage the more powerful the water heater. The more powerful the water heater the more electric power the water heater uses.

Water heater wattage is determined by voltage times amps. Thus a water heater drawing 40 amps at 220 volts would be considered to be 40x220=8,800watts.

The larger the water heater tank the more hot water the water heater can store. Many people ask how big of a water heater do they need to heat enough hot water for their family. While there is no right answer there are charts you can find on line to have as a starting point.

One family with six people may get by with a small low wattage water heater because they get up at different times in the morning, shower at different times and do laundry all week long. Another family with six people may not be able to get by with just ONE high wattage water heater because they all get up at the same time, all shower at the same time and do laundry while people are showering.

The larger the water heater the more hot water you are paying to keep hot 24 hours a day 365 days a year. The smallest water heater wattage you can get away with can save you quite a bit of money over a whole year.
