Your
water heater can make you spend a lot of money on your water bill. Sometimes people
do not know what to do to fix that. There are many simple ways to help
you fix the cost of your water bill. Some of them might even surprise
you. You do not have to put up with a high water bill. Lower your water
bill so you can pay less than what you are paying right now per month.
I am going to tell you a few different ways that you can save on your
water bill. Instead of being surprised at how high your water bill is
each month, be surprised on how low it has gotten by doing these simple
steps. If you follow them you will not need to call us out to fix your
heater. Sure, as plumbers we like to make money, but we are not above
saving you money either.
1. Please turn your water heater’s thermostat down. You do not have
to have it up full blast in order to get what you need. In fact, if you
turn it down as little as 10 degrees, you will be able to reduce your
energy bill as much as $6.00 a month. It might not seem like that much,
but it adds up.
2. The days of having to wash clothes in hot water are over. Wash your
clothes in cold water. The detergents these days allow for that. If you
wash your clothes in cold water, it will reduce your energy bill as well.
4. Take showers instead of taking a bath. The water usage difference between
the two is a big difference. If you take a bath, you tend to use up between
12-15 gallons of water. If you take showers, you only use 5-9 gallons.
Do you see the big difference there?
5. Don’t wash your hands in hot water. You are once again throwing
away money. Wash your hands in cold water. It is just as effective as
hot water. If you start doing that, you can save $2.00-$8.00 a month.
6. Drips and leaks add to your water bill as well. Many people hesitate
to call us to fix any drips or leaks. Don’t put it off. Call us to
fix them as soon as possible. Even if your water drips once per second,
it can cost you $2.00 – $8.00 a month.
