SAVING MONEY ON WATER HEATING

HEATING WATER FOR YOUR HOME, OR MORE ACCURATELY, KEEPING IT HEATED, IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND IS VERY HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. IF YOU ARE NOT USING A SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEM, ELECTIRC AND GAS HOT WATER HEATERS ACCOUNT FOR UP TO 20% OF A HOUDEHOLD'S GREENHOUSE GAS EMMISSIONS.
WE USUALLY SET OUR HOT WATER TO A TEMPERATURE THAT IS TOO HOT TO IMMERSE IYR HANDS IN. INSTEAD WE USE A TON OF COLD WATER TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE, WHICH IS REALLY WASTEFUL; NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE SAFETY ISSUE.
EVERYTIME YOU TURN YOUR HOT WATER OFF, THERE CAN BE GALLONS OF HOT WATER STILL IN THE LINES. THE HEAT IS WASTED AND YOUR HOT WATER SERVICE THEN NEEDS TO REHEAT THE EQUIVALENT OF THE WATER LOST ADDITIONALLY, THE HOTTER THE TEMPERATURE OF YOUR SERVICE, THE LESS WORKING LIFE IT WILL HAVE.

FOR EVERY 10 DEGREE FARENHEIT REDUCTION IN WATER TEMPERATURE, YOU CAN SAVE BETWEEN 3 AND 5% IN ENERGY COSTS. WHEN USING BOTTLED GAS, YOU WILL DEFINATELY NOTICE A SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS JUST BY TURNING BACK THE THERMOSTATE ON THE WATER HEATER.
