Hot Water Timers

Water heater timers essentially allow homeowners to determine when their water heaters will function, depending on the times of the day when the occupants require hot water.

Turning off your water heater, like many other electrical appliances, can save you money each month on your bill. A small amount of heat escapes when the water heater is turned on, even though it's well insulated. Typically, this loss of energy is about 10% of your bill.

Is it worth putting a timer on the water heater?

A water heater timer can save you money on both your electricity and water bills. However, homeowners with hot water tanks located outside of their homes, report seeing the most significant margin of savings. The reason is that the cold temperatures outside make your water heater work overtime to stay warm.

What is the purpose of a water heater timer?

Water heater timers are programmable devices that control when a water heater is turned off and on. With this device, your water heater will provide hot water only when it’s scheduled to do so instead of maintaining hot water throughout the day. This will save you money as it’s not being heated all day. If paired with a Heat Pump Hot Water system you’ll be able to have instant hot water, meaning the timer won’t have to turn on as soon for it to heat up. Saving you even more money!
