Worried about high fuel costs?

This clip is from Pillar to Post:

Water heating is the third largest energy expense in your home. It typically accounts for about 16% 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 by simply using low-flow aerating showerheads and faucets.
