Shower Change - Sunday 1st February 2015
Approximate $ Savings: $130
This tip requires a change in how you do the most basic everyday task, but it'll be worth it and but will save you hundreds on your water and electricity bills. I think like most people, until I had this brainwave idea a few months ago, I always used to reached for the hot tap first, then turned on the cold to get to the optimum temperature to fill the bath, have a shower or wash the dishes. With this way, you're using more hot water (and more water in general) to get to the optimum temperature. If you flip this, and put on the cold water tap, then add hot water to reach the optimum temperature, you'll use less electricity, and actually less water as well. You'll notice a drop in your bills, and still enjoy that hot shower you love.
