Tips for reducing energy consumption

In addition to contributing to reduced power demand by using a three-element water heater, you can also adopt more energy efficient water heating practices that will lower your electricity bill.

Here are a few examples:

• Keep your water heater’s temperature at 60°C (140°F).
• Insulate hot-water pipes.
• Take shorter showers and use a reduced-flow showerhead.
• Use your clothes washer efficiently; for example, by doing your laundry in cold water.
• Use your dishwasher efficiently—by running it only when it is full, for instance.
