DID YOU KNOWWater Heater is one of the most important appliances, but it's also the third largest energy expense in your home, representing 13% of your utility bills?Water Heaters, generally for home use and other purposes are usually not insulated, as well as they might be. Consequently, a great deal of heat is lost to the atmosphere. This results in high energy consumption and high utility bills. In addition, during warm times of the year, heat the air near the heater, resulting in discomfort and extra expense.By insulating the whole water heater unit with SmartJACKETTM, you will improve your water heaters efficiency (40%) by keeping the water it has already heated.Compare the R-Value?Evaluating energy saving is not restricted to R-Value. Reflective insulation will stop 97% heat that is radiant to the air. Radiant heat is often overlooked and misunderstood because R-Value does not account for radiant heat. Reflective insulation has greater day to day saving than fiberglass insulation. SmartJACKETTM contains 99% aluminum foil which has high reflective properties making it very effective and maintaining energy saving far after fiberglass reaches its maximum performance.ADAVANTAGE OF ALUMINUM FOIL:- Strong but lightweight- Unaffected by humidity and moisture- Will not lose its performance and provides vapor barrier- Fire rated Class 1 / Class A- Easy to install and easy to clean- Non toxic, will not irritate skin, eyes or throatDISADVANTAGES OF FIBERGLASS INSULATION:- Potential health risk such as lungs and skin damage- Will not seal without additional vapor barrier- Does not stop radiant heat transfer- Loses effectiveness due to a setting or compressing- Acts like a sponge, absorbing water- Is likely to form dangerous mold and mildew
