Water heating is the third largest energy expense in your home.

It typically accounts for about 16% of your utility bill. There are

four ways to cut your water heating bills: use less hot water, turn

down the thermostat on your water heater, insulate your water heater,

or buy a new, more efficient water heater.

A family of four, each showering for 5 minutes a day, uses 700 gallons

of water a week; this is enough for a 3-year supply of drinking water

for one person. You can cut that amount in half simply by using lowflow

aerating showerheads and faucets.
