Hot water heater timer
This has probably be done before, many times, but.
I put a timer on my 60gal Hot Water heater, it comes on a 11pm and shuts off at 4am. I did this so my heater only comes on when hydro rates are low, 8.7 cents vs 18 cents.
I have never run out of hot water, doesn't matter if I shower in the morning or at night, or twice a day, I have hot water.
My Laundry is always done in cold water so the only other time I need hot water is for dishwashing and washing up.
I did this about 4 months ago and should of done it when I moved in.
I think if I put more insulation around the hot water tank I'd burn even less hydro.
