There’s nothing quite like a hot shower – especially as we move into the cooler months of the year, but if you have a storage hot water system you might not have considered how heating the water could be adding to your energy bills. Here are some quick tips that could help reduce your energy and water use:

💧 The recommended setting for a thermostat is 60°C for storage hot water systems and no more than 50°C on instantaneous systems
💧Try for shorter showers (every minute your shower runs is another minute of water use and water heating costs.)
💧If you’re away from home for more than a week, turn off your storage hot water system
