The 90-Day Plan: DAY 44

DAY 44

STAY OUT of HOT WATER.  Do you boiled water on the stove?  If you do, you probably noticed that it takes awhile to heat even that small amount of water.  Imagine what it takes to heat a 50-gallon+ water heater!

Challenge:  What are ways to make your water heater more efficient?  If it is time to replace the water heater, have you considered a 'tankless' or On-Demand option?  How much more efficient would a 'tankless' heater be for your household than the conventional heater?
