Do you turn down the thermostat on your hot water heater to save energy, then suffer through cool morning showers? If so, here's a trick my husband J. recently came up with. Approximately 15 minutes before you plan to take a shower, turn up the temperature one notch on your water heater, until you hear it click on. Fifteen minutes later, you'll be basking in warmth! Turn it back down to "energy saver" immediately after everyone is done showering.
The small amount of energy used is minuscule compared to the comfort factor on a chilly winter morning. To use the remaining pre-warmed water in the tank, I usually do do some hand washing, laundry or run the dishwasher, as well.
