Assumptions

  • Showerheads represented by the default values have an efficiency that just meets the national minimum standard for showerheads.
  • Lifetime energy cost and lifetime water cost is the sum of the discounted value of the annual energy and water costs based on an assumed showerhead life of 10 years.
  • Future gas and electricity price trends and a discount rate of 3.2% are based on Federal guidelines.
  • $0.06 per kWh is the Federal average electricity price in the U.S.
  • $0.60 per therm is the Federal average gas price in the U.S.
  • The assumed combined water and waste-water price is $4.00/1000 gallons.

Disclaimer
This cost calculator estimates a product's lifetime energy cost savings at various efficiency levels. Maintenance and installation costs do not vary significantly among the same product having different efficiencies; therefore, these costs are not included in this calculator tool.
