Hmmmm. I’ve been wondering about that. I recently read an article in Mother Earth News- I bought it for the recipes, don’t judge LOL- about putting a timer on an electric hot water heater so it only runs about 11 hours a day.

That sounds interesting. Do you have a link to that article?

I turn off my electric WH during the summer except when I use hot water.
It’s on about an hour a day for showr and dishes.
Only saves about 30 bucks a month, and a household of more han 2 would find it impractical, but it works for me.

I also have pork shoulder for breakfast instead of bacon, saves another 30 bucks... hey this stuff adds up!

Now, when my tobacco plants come in I’m gonna save some big money!
