Default Re: Water Heater

No it is much cheaper to turn it off, I have been doing it for 30 years. First I turned it off by turning off the circuit breaker in the garage. My husband is a builder, now he puts a switch in the kitchen, so we can just flip a switch. It only takes 20 minutes to heat up the tank, so you only need to turn it on 20 minutes before you need a shower or are running the dishwasher. We have saved a ton on our electric bill over 30 years!!
