Less obvious ones:
- Use a remote socket - This allows you to switch off the sockets connected with the one remote controlled switch, will help where you can't reach them.
- If you have gas heating, can be used to heat water only instead of immersion, just a handle to switch on mine - may be obvious to some, but maybe not all.
- Are you heating too much water? I'm down to 15min in the am and pm for shower and dishes. I was leaving it 45 min to heat full tank.
Good one - just been reading up on this. Don't know how I never came across it before.Fit reflective panels behind your radiators
One thing to consider is that heating it for 15mins does not heat less water than heating it for 45 minutes.
This is not strictly true - Heat rises so in fact hot water cylinders heat from the top down. this is why most imersion heaters have a sink and bath element, the sink element being much shorter than the bath one.
I have temperature probes at 3 heights in my cylinder (to monitor the performance of my solar HW system) and it is very obvuious how the hot water rises in the tank.
