Water heating accounts for about 18% of your home's energy use and is the typically the second largest energy expense in any home.
You can reduce your water heating bills in four primary ways:
- Using less hot water
- Using energy-saving strategies, such as turning down the thermostat on your water heater
- Insulating your water heater and pipes
- Buying a new, more efficient model or type of water heater.
