Hot Water Heater Blanket

A properly installed water heater blanket can reduce energy loss by 25% to 45%. You'll still need to heat the water that you use each day, but a water heater blanket will pay for itself by reducing the energy needed to keep the water hot in the tank.

A water heater blanket is very easy to install. First check the owner's manual for your water heater. Some newer models specifically recommend that you do NOT use a heater blanket. If your manual doesn't mention blankets or you've lost the manual, just place your hand on the outside of the heater. If it's warm to your touch, a blanket will save you money.
