Did you know that water heating can make up a large portion of your household&#39;s utility bills? You can save money and make smarter decisions about your hot water consumption by following these simple steps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;These tips and tricks will help you heat water more efficiently.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;You can upgrade your water heater to be more efficient. &lt;/b&gt;You may consider replacing your water heater if it is older than 10 years. This will allow you to keep your family warm and save money on your energy bills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Go tankless! &lt;/b&gt;Tankless water heaters are space-saving and can help you cut down on your energy bills. Tankless water heaters heat water as it is needed, and they don&#39;t have the standby energy loss associated with traditional healers. You might also consider an energy-efficient tankless water heater if you have large families that use back-to-back baths or a large tub to fill.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Use an insulation blanket to wrap your water heater.&lt;/b&gt; Wrapping your older water heater with a thermal blanket made specifically for water heaters is an economical way to reduce heating costs. To determine if wrapping your water heater with a blanket will save you energy, think about where it&#39;s stored. Unwrapping a water heater in an area that is colder than normal indoor temperatures can cause the heat loss and increase energy consumption.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your laundry routine should be changed. &lt;/b&gt;Did you know that washing and drying large loads of laundry can save you energy? Use the appropriate water level setting if you have to wash only a small amount of laundry. You can also wash your laundry in cold water. Your water heater will use energy to heat your washer&#39;s water if you use hot water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The dishwasher is an excellent alternative to hand-washing dishes.&lt;/b&gt; Hand washing dishes can be a time-consuming chore. If your dishwasher comes with a booster heater, use it to wash full loads. Consider upgrading to an ENERGY STAR(r), qualified dishwasher that uses less water and energy if it is older.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Does your water take longer to heat up in the colder winter months? &lt;/b&gt;It is a known fact that the colder the outside temperature, the colder the groundwater in your hot water heater. This can make it more difficult for your water heater to heat water to the desired temperature. It will also use more energy. Another reason to consider upgrading to a more efficient water heater model, which can provide hot water for your household on a daily basis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will be using your water heater in your home for many years. It is important to choose a model that will help you save money over the long term. It is important to take into consideration your family&#39;s water needs when replacing your natural gas water heater. Also, consider the cost, energy efficiency, and longevity of a new heater.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6440823206524987962/posts/default/9085852676662732292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6440823206524987962/posts/default/9085852676662732292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://1800homeservices.blogspot.com/2022/03/smart-water-heater-tips-to-save-money.html' title='Smart Water Heater Tips to Save Money and Energy'/><author><name>Kris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10295168745648361887</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv32Cf3-FxvXoseBSW20IJ4F4dt_gla3Brb-MeORrKSpfOVbsdP70IZ-nZe8EI4aVP3OsXjLZh20ZghfBuOBoNi-PLShBKHpNTLkK27CDJ1ek3dNc8n-vkNVAgH6npL1W5WeMB-92FXtdoXPoBl_gNKgJP1rt_5IsHH7IxXsHAqDpanZfsyFKxY0ta/s72-w634-h424-c/household-water-needs-640x427.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry></feed>
