Save 50 Percent on Oil Hot Water Heater Costs
Recently, I just completed a project where I can potentially cut my hot water heater bill in half! As a side note, my oil fired hot water bill was over a hundred dollars a month when oil prices were over $4 a gallon, so I have a lot to save. What I did was:
- Turned down my heat settings
- Had maintenance performed on the heater
- Used an insulating blanket
- Installed a temper tank – this allows the incoming water to warm up to something on the order of 70 deg F rather than 40 deg F. I also utilized waste heat from my hot water heater exhaust with a hot air blower system hooked up to a thermostat.
