Heating water takes a lot of energy. It’s not necessary to take cold showers, but being mindful of how much hot water you use, and how the water is being heated, can save a lot of electricity and money. Make sure your water heater is insulated so that it isn’t losing too much heat.
Use less hot water
Consider getting a water heater that doesn’t run on a continuously lit pilot light. Take showers instead of baths. Baths use a lot more water than showers. Take shorter showers. Spending 20 minutes in the shower uses up a lot of electricity
