Money-Saving Water Heating Tips

These days, saving money is more important than ever. By making just a few small adjustments to your water heater and how you use it, you can slash energy costs! Follow these money-saving water heating tips, courtesy of the US Department of Energy:

1. Take shorter showers

Save baths for special occasions, instead opting for the shower. Keep in mind that long showers can be just as wasteful as filling a large tub. Save even more energy by turning off the water while lathering up!

2. Adjust your water heater’s temperature

Most water heaters are automatically set to a scalding 140 degrees. Not only can this be dangerous, but it’s also a waste of energy. Reducing the temperature by just 10 degrees can help you save up to 5 percent on water heating costs.

3. Fix leaks as soon as possible
