And losing heat all the time. Even in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping, or when everyone is at work/school/whereever. When exactly do you need the airpot's hot water? When don't you need it? Can you put it on a timer so that it turns off just before the last time you use hot water and turns on just before you need it again?

So why bring a gallon of water up to temp if you don't need that much? An electric kettle would allow you to heat only as much water as is needed, and heating a smaller amount will give you hot water much faster.
