Green Newton's Webinar on Efficient Water Heating
February 11, 2026
Posted on
Newton homeowners and residents are invited to a free educational webinar, Efficient Water Heating for Newton Homes. The virtual event, sponsored by Green Newton and the City of Newton Climate & Sustainability Team, will take place Thursday, February 19 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM via Zoom.
Participants will gain key insights into energy-efficient water heating solutions to make informed upgrade or replacement decisions.
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 greenhouse gas emissions. The webinar is designed to provide practical, non-technical information to help residents make informed decisions about their hot water systems.
Participants will learn about a range of water heating options, including heat pump water heaters, which use electricity more efficiently and can lower energy use and emissions. Attendees will also explore solar-assisted and hybrid systems that combine renewable energy with modern heat pump technology, and gain guidance on when tankless (on-demand) water heaters may be a good fit for their home.
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.
