Most of the time you don't think about it-you turn on the hot water tap to shave, take a shower or rinse the evening dishes and it's, well...hot. But did you know that keeping your hot water hot costs you about 20 percent of your home energy bills?

It's easy to have hot water when you need it yet reduce your energy bills. All you have to do is follow some good advice.

-Take showers not baths. Baths use 15 to 25 gal. Showers use less than 10 gal. per five minute shower.
-Lower the water heater thermostat. 120 degrees is recommened, and many have found that 115 degrees is just as comfortable.
-Insulate the water heater. Be careful not to cover the thermostat.
-Install a timer. (For electric water heaters only.) Automatically turn your water heater off at night and back on in the morning.
-Repair leaky faucets. Nuff said.
