Default Another Utility Tip

In adidtion to programmable thermostats, get a programmable thermostat for your electric hot water heater.

Most people don't need to have their hot water heated 24 hours a day cus it stays heated for hours. I am single and work during the day and do just fine with only heating my water 3 hours a day, in late afternoon, so the water tends to be not as hot in mid day to mid afternnon and it's most hoti n the evening, when i need it. (I shower at night.)
