How to Save Money On Your Water Heating Bill

We're always looking for ways to cut back on our home maintenance costs.  One way to do this (and it's often overlooked) is by making a few changes to your home water heater!  Here are a few ways to save on your water heating costs.

Money Saving Tips:

• Insulate Your Water Heater - Even when your water heater is in use, it is still holding hot water and keeping it warm.  This can be a major source of energy loss if your tank is not well insulated!  
• Reduce Your Demand - The easiest and most obvious way to save money on your water heating bill is by using less hot water.  Check for faucet, shower head and other plumbing leaks to prevent hot water loss.
• Insulate Your Pipes - Make sure that the water leaving your hot water heater stays warm as it makes it's way to your shower.  Insulate the hot water piping within the first 5-10 feet of your water heater for best results.
