Ways To Conserve Water and Energy and Save on Utility Bills
Lower Your Utility Bills
Here is one of those two-for deals. You can conserve water, save energy and save money on your utility bills at the same time.
Save on your water heating bill:
1. Don’t heat the water so hot
Lower the temperature setting on the water heater to 120 degrees— that temperature will prevent bacteria from building up and will still be sufficient to generate enough hot water for most uses.
Add an insulation “jacket” to the tank and wrap any exposed pipes to save up to 15 percent of hot water cost.

Each of the appliances they want you to consider all wind up paying for themselves over a fairly short period of time.
