Lower utility bills<\/p><\/div>\n
Before I begin, I would like to remind you that water is a non-renewable resource. Equally, as of right now, most of our electricity comes from non-renewable resources. With that in mind, I think we need to save our resources before they are gone forever. As I posted the other day<\/a>,\u00a0the day of running out of natural resources for energy is getting close.<\/p>\n Think about every time you open the water faucet, especially if you have a \u201csingle handle\u201d type for temperature control. If you don\u2019t need hot water, do you really check if the handle is cold?<\/p>\n To be honest and let me tell you that I am very careful with my electricity usage, and I know this affects my energy waste, sometimes I forget to pay attention to this.<\/p>\n Every time we turn the knob to get water and if it\u2019s not all the way to cold water, some hot water will be pushed through the pipes. This will use water from the water heater. The water heaters\u2019 job is to always maintain hot water. So, if we don\u2019t use it, we are just wasting energy. The water heater will fill up again with cold water and the water heater will do its job and heat up that fresh new water coming from the register.<\/p>\n What to do with wasted cold water<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Here is another situation, we need hot water, however, how long it takes to reach the water faucet? What can we do with all that wasted cold water that is running until we get the desired hot water?<\/p>\n Personally, I don\u2019t use much hot water, however, when I need it, I save the unused cold water to:<\/p>\n For conventional water heaters<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Extremely hot water can be dangerous. Imagine that a young kid is taking a shower and somehow the kid turns off the cold water. We can get 3rd<\/sup> degree burns with water at 160 degrees.<\/p>\n Here are the suggested settings for a conventional water heater.<\/p>\n Settings for a conventional heater<\/p><\/div>\n Change to a Tankless Water Heater<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Save Energy and Money with a Tankless Water Heater<\/p><\/div>\n These heaters cost less than a conventional water heater and their life span is almost the same.<\/p>\n Tankless water heaters take up about 10% of the space.<\/p>\n They use about 30% less electricity than the others.<\/p>\n No need for stored hot water.<\/p>\n In conclusion…<\/p>\n How can we measure all these efforts of saving electricity and water? The only way to see your electricity savings is on your electricity bill. However, if you receive a monthly bill, unlikely you will find out when those savings started.<\/p>\n If you use prepaid electricity, you can notice your savings the very next day. The reason for this is that with prepaid electricity you get a daily text or email with your electricity usage. So, you can see what was electricity usage before practicing these ideas and after making all these changes.<\/p>\n We offer prepaid electricity through Payless Power, you can check the rates and enroll with this link<\/a>. Or you can call the number on the top of the page and see how this prepaid electricity works.<\/p>\nWhen We Use Less Hot Water, We Use Less Electricity<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
