If you have an electric water
heater, it is the second largest energy consumer in your home.
Consider these tips to reduce your bill.
- Reduce the amount of hot water used when washing clothes.
- Fill your automatic dishwasher before using whenever
possible.
- Do not pre-rinse dishes before loading them in the
dishwasher. Scrape off food and empty liquids. If you must rinse,
use cold water.
- When the wash & rinse cycles are complete, open the
dishwasher door and let the dishes dry naturally instead of heat
drying them.
- Regularly check the condition of the filter screen. Clean
or replace it when necessary.
- Do not leave the hot water running while doing dishes in
the sink.
- Take showers instead of baths - you can save about half
the amount of hot water used. Water-saving shower heads can save
even more.
