Hot water accounts for about 30% of the energy consumed in homes (Source: Agency for Natural Resources and Energy "Energy White Paper 2023"). "Ecocute" is a system that efficiently and economically supplies hot water. When boiling water, Ecocute uses only 1 part electrical energy to 2 parts atmospheric thermal energy, so electricity consumption is reduced to about 1/3 compared to boiling water using only electrical energy.
