Did
you know that water heating accounts for 12% of your over-all
electrical usage? So if you are one of those people dreading their
winter season energy bills, you would want to look for ways to lower
down your energy consumption.
There
are many ways to cut down on water heating consumption. Here are some
of the best tips you can use:
-
Use less water and cut down your bathing time.
Save
those lengthy bath times for when the season is a lot warmer. This
winter, you would want to make your bath time as quick as your
hygiene habits will allow. This way, you will use less water and
your Hot
Water Heating services in North Vancouver won’t spend so
much time functioning.
-
Turn down the thermostat.
Turning
down the thermostat a degree or two can go a long way in reducing
heating costs. It shouldn’t have a huge difference in the
temperature of your bathing water.
-
Keep you water pipes insulated.
If
the pipes are exposed to cold air, the water that flows through them
will be cold and difficult to heat up. But if you insulate your
pipes, heating up water to your desired temperature will become much
easier.
Investing
on more efficient types of hot water heating in North Vancouver such
as tankless water heaters is also a good idea. Tankless water heaters
that you can find from Pro Gas North Shore are on-demand water
heaters that only heat up water as you need them.
