Water Heater Energy Efficiency

• Set temperature to 120°F if your dishwasher has its own water heater, otherwise set it at 140°F.
• Repair leaking faucets. Warm-water leaks should be given immediate attention because they can raise your electric consumption rapidly.
• Drain your hot water tank regularly to remove sediment.
• Wrap your water heater in an insulating jacket if it is located in an unheated area such as a basement or garage.
