Cost Cutting
Strategies For Your Water Heater
Water heating is the
third largest energy expense in your home. It typically accounts for
about 14% of your utility bill.
There are four ways to cut your water heating bills:
- use less hot water
- turn down the thermostat on
your water heater
- insulate your water heater
- buy a new, more efficient
water heater.
A family of four, each showering
for 5 minutes a day, uses 700 gallons of water a week; this is
enough for a 3-year supply of drinking water for one person. You can
cut that amount in half simply by using low-flow nonaerating
showerheads & faucets.
