Efficiency of Utilities

• Heat pump is 3x as efficient as electric heat.
• Point of use is 27-50% more efficient than tank water heater [1]
• Electric is 2x as efficient as gas - this one says 74% vs 40% efficient.
• induction is 20-25% more efficient than electric cooking - with induction at 90% and electric at 65-70% - [2].
• Electric water heaters (tank) are about 95% efficient, while gas are about 63% efficient [3]
