Most homes use 225 litres of hot water every day. From enjoying a hot shower to running the dishwasher, hot water makes life at home more comfortable and convenient. As water heating is your home’s second highest energy expense, these energy-saving tips can help lower your bill without sacrificing comfort.

Natural gas has many advantages

House with a heart

Safe, abundant and affordable.

Clock

Heats water twice as fast as electricity.

Arrows going in a circle icon

Stable, all-day low pricing.

Shield with checkmark

Reliable supply, even during a power outage.

Easy no-cost tips

Simple changes in habit are the easiest ways to save.

  • Checkmark

    Save with showers. A five-minute shower uses half the water of a bath.

  • Checkmark

    Always wait for a full load before running your dishwasher or washing machine.

  • Checkmark

    Turn the water down or off while you wash dishes, shave or brush your teeth.

  • Checkmark

    Wash clothes in cold water to save energy and keep your clothes lasting longer.

  • Checkmark

    Set your water heater’s thermostat at 52ºC for optimal savings and comfort.

  • Checkmark

    Going away? Set your water heater to vacation mode or lower the temperature a few degrees.

  • Checkmark

    Keep the air intakes on your water heater’s tank free from dust, lint and debris.

DIY low-cost tips

Even small investments can lead to substantial savings.

  • Checkmark

    Fix leaky faucets—a slight drip can fill two and a half bathtubs (800 litres) over a month.

  • Checkmark

    Install low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators to cut hot water use in half without sacrificing pressure.

  • Checkmark

    Insulate the first two metres of water pipes, but keep pipe wrap at least 15 cm clear of the exhaust vent.

Long-term investments

Replacing an appliance? Go high efficiency.

  • Checkmark

    Look for an ENERGY STAR® certified dishwasher— compared to a standard model, you’ll save nearly 15,000 litres of water over its lifetime.

  • Checkmark

    Choose front-loading washing machines. ENERGY STAR® certified models use 33 percent less water than standard units.

  • Checkmark

    Install a drain water heat recovery system. It pre-heats the cold water feeding your water heater which can reduce energy costs by 30 percent.

  • Checkmark

    For older models, install heat traps to save energy—most newer models have them already installed.
