HOW CAN I LOWER HOT WATER COSTS OTHER THAN REDUCING MY HOT WATER USAGE


There are a few ways you can reliably lower hot water costs:

  • Insulate your hot water heater (make sure not to cover the top, bottom, thermostat, or burner compartment)
  • Lower the water heater’s temperature setting from 140 F to 120 F
  • Reduce sediment buildup. You can do this by draining a quart of water from your water heater every 3 months
