Newton homeowners and residents are invited to a free virtual educational webinar, Efficient Water Heating for Newton Homes, on Thursday, February 19 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM via Zoom. The event will explore efficient, low-carbon water heating solutions and offer guidance for anyone considering a water heater upgrade or replacement.
Water heating represents one of the largest energy uses in a typical home, and choosing the right system can lead to significant energy bill savings and reduced carbon emissions. The webinar is designed to provide practical, non-technical information to help residents make informed decisions about their hot water systems.
The program will cover a range of options, including heat pump water heaters, which use electricity more efficiently and can lower energy use and emissions; solar-assisted and hybrid systems that combine renewable energy with modern heat pump technology; and tankless (on-demand) water heaters, with guidance on when they may be a good fit for a home. The session will also include a real-world case study illustrating how a homeowner evaluated options and made a decision.
The session will focus on how these systems perform in everyday life — including space and installation considerations, efficiency, and long-term value — with time allotted for attendee questions.
The webinar is co-hosted by Green Newton and the City of Newton Climate & Sustainability Team, with local expert participation from Reservoir Home, New England Solar Hot Water, and Boston Tank Swap.
