Hot water is a necessity for daily chores and brings ease in your routine, but only until the rising electricity bills don’t give you a headache. Households often install the water heater one fine day; use it daily, but forget to account the contribution of water heater in their electricity bill. Sometimes, these small adjustments and practices if overlooked lead to higher electricity bills.
Mind it….If your electricity bill keeps rising after you installed the water heater, you might be making some operational mistakes.
1. Ideal setting of the water heater is 50–60°C, and you are using it on higher temperature, leading to more energy consumption and higher heat loss. Fix this issue by keeping the thermostat in efficient and safe range.

2. If you’re leaving your water heater on throughout the day, it is a major energy consumer. Even not in use, the water heater uses electricity to maintain the temperature of water. Fix this issue by using an automatic water heater or turning it on only when needed.
