Water Heater
I live in an older apartment and the water heater is in a closet, looks pretty ancient. I tried to find the thermostat on it to turn it down, but couldn't find it and the thing is snug in the closet, so I can't get around to the back of it.
I could turn off the breaker for the hot water heater and was thinking each day when I leave the house at 11 I'd turn it off, then I would turn it back on around 8 or 9 pm when I get home, so that I have hot water in the morning to do dishes and take a shower.
But I am wondering if it would be cheaper just to leave it on all the time -- would it take more energy to re-heat the water every night??
