My water heater is under the house. It is one of those short fat electric ones and I am not ready to upgrade to solar. It consumes a lot of electricity just sittin' there. I would like to put a timer on it, but I have a timer on something else under the house and it always goes out whack because the frequent electric outages here. And then I have to put on my kneepads, which I have kept handy lately.
Is there a way to include a timer at the panel, which is in the house? Or is that just cwazy? Or to put the timer in a more convenient place that doesn't require kneepads?
I have just been flipping off the switch when I go to bed at night and then turning it on in the morning. That works when I remember to do it.
