Winter Efficiency Tip #2: Hot Water

Northpower

Hot water makes up around 30% of an average power bill. Check your hot water temperature and turn down to 60 degrees at the tap (an economy temperature). Hot water for washing dishes is a good guide - if you add cold water to do the dishes you might want to turn the thermostat down.

Showers also use less water than a bath, especially when using an energy efficient showerhead.
