I am trying to find ways to lower my electric bill, as Consumers Energy here in MI is nailing me for $200 - $300 per month. Seems odd, since I"m the only one here about half the time. But then, they did refuse to read my meter for 15 months because "my neighbor"s dog was outside". Neighbor is my dad, he told me meter guy sat in driveway drinking coffee, never came up to my house. Interesting.
When they did finally read it, they sent me a $2500 adjustment bill. But I digress...
My water heater(original equipment in a "95 manufactured home) is set at 120 degrees. I recently replaced both elements, simply because it hadn"t been done and I wanted to avoid a failure situation. It seems to heat rather often.
My question is this: is a lower setting more efficient, because the water is not being heated as much? Or is a higher setting more efficient, because you won"t use as much hot water?
I would prefer to upgrade to a newer propane unit but that isn"t in the budget right now.
Your time taken to pose a response is appreciated.
