Saving Money With Hot Water
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Hot water is the third largest energy expense in your home. It can account for 12 percent of your utility bill.
Mary Bubala has a few ways to cut costs.
First, lower your thermostat on your water heater. They often come from the factory with high temperature settings.
Insulate your electric hot water storage tank. Be careful not to cover your thermostat.
Try insulating the first six feet of the hot and cold water pipes connected to the water heater.
