Water heater timer
Larger image
I installed GE 15070 timer to control my water heater.
Timer is mounted in-wall below attic light switch. Timer is same size as typical light switch

When our household schedules Hot water using a timer, our consumption of hot water drops.
Reducing consumption is key to saving money and saving energy.
See installation

I chose this timer for following reasons:
Eye-level installation: easy to change time schedule, manual override is ON-OFF button that can permanantly override timer when guests arrive.
The 30-minute timer intervals give good control of the schedule: 30 minutes for shower in summer, and 60 minutes for shower in winter.
See Family Chart for setting timer

Current time setting must be reset after power outage and with seasonal time-change.

Electric meter on water heater
How to install electric meter on water heater, electric dryer, or any 240Volt appliance

Each appliance (gas and electric) should come with a meter. But they don't.
New technologies are taking shape that will make my old-fashioned ideas obsolete, but until then, the straight facts are hard to find. A dedicated meter tells the real story.
Put the meter on water heater for 1 year to get baseline. Then move meter to electric oven for 6 months. Then move meter to HVAC for a year. Then sell meter to brother-in-law.

The meter lets you experiment and see what actions save money for your household.
