We are living in rough economic times, so just about everyone is looking for ways save money. More people are finding ways to save their hard earned money by looking for ways to cut energy costs. One way that is overlooked by most people is the energy that water heaters use. What if you had a water heater timer that turns off your water heater when you choose? Maybe that doesn't seem like a big deal to you, but your water heater can account to about $400 of your total electric bill over a period of a year. That should be enough for you to at least look into a timer for your electric water heater. If you are unaware of what kind to buy, this short guide should help you.
First, you will need to determine what kind of timer you want for your water heater before you decide to install one or have one installed. You really should make sure you buy one that is programmable from a manufacturer like intermatic. This company has been in the timer industry for years and they manufacture timers for lighting, refrigeration, indoor and outdoor appliances and water heaters like the intermatic whq4 or the intermatic wh401. When you are buying a water heater timer, make sure to find out whether you need a 240 volt or 120 volt for your outlet. Make sure you place the timer between the outlet and the water heater tank.
This is really a great way to manage and control your water heater usage. You will simply install (or have installed professionally) the timer for your water heater, decide when you want it to be off and when you want it to be on and let it work for you. Saving around $400 a year is huge when you consider all the other areas in which you are watching your money. Buying a water heater timer is an affordable way to manage your energy usage and costs as well as paying for itself in a short time. One final thought about saving energy would be to lower the temperature on your water heater thermostat to conserve even more. Get all the facts about these timers before you buy one and/ask a professional electrician any questions you might have even if you are planning to install it yourself.
