| How To Reduce Your Water Bills | If you are eager to lessen the cost of your energy bills, pay attention to your water heater that consumes a third of all household energy.
Pay attention to four ways how to reduce your water heating bills:
• Apply less hot water,
• Switch off the thermostat on your water heater,
• Insulate your water heater,
• Purchase a new, more efficient water heater.
 It is recommended to lower the thermostat on your water heater, because water heaters are frequently set on high temperature from the very beginning. It is recommended to set a temperature of 49°C, it is quite enough to warm water for everyday use.
It is recommended to lessen the quantity of baths taken every week. Instead you may have a shower. A family with two or more children can apply the same water. Remember that there were times, when people use water economically because of its lack. They had no water running from taps, but use it from wells.
An old electric water heater storage tank can be insulated with an insulation blanket. Moreover, one should not cover the thermostat, because it can influence a temperature control.
It is recommended to insulate the first 6-8 feet of the hot and cold water pipes that have connection with the water heater.
The life term for water heaters is usually 10-5 years. Thus, if you have had a water heater more than 7 years, buy a new one, before yours gets broken. It is recommended to buy a water heater in advance and find the one that satisfies your wishes.
Buy an energy efficient heater that can save your money in the future. If you buy natural-gas on-demand or tankless water heaters, you will be able to save up to 30% comparing with standard natural-gas storage tank water heaters.
