Water Heater Timer
Can I install a timer on my hot water heater?
I'm trying to save money on the heating bill and wondering if it makes any sense to install a timer on my hot water heater so that it's not constantly heating itself during the day/night when I don't use it. Or will this just end up costing me more money because when the heater does kick in, it will have to reheat all that water from cold rather than just consistently heating it all day.
It partially depends on where the heater is. If the heater is in an area that is generally heated anyway, then this won't really save you much money because any heat that is lost by water heater is lost to an area that you are paying to heat anyway. If the heater is in a garage or somwhere else that is not connected to your heated living space, this could conceivably save you some money. However you might have better luck by simply getting some insulation to wrap around the heater so that it doesn't lose heat.
Some other energy saving tips for winter are:
1. Turn lights off when you can (obvious)
2. During the winter only use cold water when washing your hands, otherwise, you using warm water to heat the length of the pipe before you even get hot water.
3. Install a water restricter to cut down on the amount of hot water you use
4 When you leave your house during the day, shut off the heat in unused rooms and close the doors to those rooms.
