• Next to your heating and air-conditioning, your hot water tank is the biggest energy user in your home. Showering, bathing, washing clothes and dishes drain your water heater - and it's fuel.
• The number one threat to energy efficiency and tank life is sediment accumulation.
• A setting of 120° F or higher will actually increase the rate of corrosion on internal fittings and other surfaces, reducing the life of your tank.

• Tip#1 - Use a water heater wrap. Even when your water heater is not in use, it loses heat through the tank wall. Wrapping the unit keeps the water hot and reduces heat loss.
• Tip#2 - Use low flow showerheads and faucet aerators to cut the flow throughout your home, and still have all the water you need.
• Tip #3 - Replace any hot water tank that is 10-12 years or older. By replacing a 15 year old tank with a new hot water tank, you can have more hot water at a savings as the new water heater will be 15 - 30% more efficient.
• Tip#4 - Wash clothes in cold water when you can. The clothes washer is second only to bathing in consumption of hot water. A standard size clothes washer uses about 25 gallons of hot water when operated in hot wash/warm rinse mode.

Storage tank water heaters are by far the most common and affordable type. These heat and store water in a tank constantly so that hot water is available at any time. Because of this, you are heating and re-heating un-used water, and using more energy to keep the water in the tank at its set temperature.
