$tay out of Hot Water

Did you know that in many homes the cost of heating water is the third largest energy expense?
To reduce your water heater's consumption of energy try the following:

1) Turn the water heater thermostat down to 115-120 degrees (or between low and medium)
2) Fix leaky faucets promptly. One drop of water per second adds up to 250 gallons of water a month
3) Baths use more water than showers, if you limit your shower time. Try setting an audible timer til you pare your routine down to a reasonable time (really useful for teenage girls!)
