- Tips for Energy Conservation
- Insulate hot water pipes
- Locate water heater as close as possible to areas needing hot water to prevent dissipation of energy and to minimize heat loss.
- Don't overheat water--140 degrees maximum is enough even for a dishwasher.
- Turn water heater way down, or off when you will be away from home.
- Check for leaks and drips.
- Take short showers--baths use more water, hence more energy.
- Don't run water while brushing teeth or shaving--use short bursts of water for rinsing.
- Restrict shower flow to the minimum to do the job.
- Don't use more soap than you really need, as it requires excess rinsing.
- Fill tub only half full for bath.
