"Yes I tried turning the heater on once a day for a few hours and my bill went way up so thats not an option (for whatever reason I could not figure out)."
Why is that? Anyone? It's happened to me also. I have the hot water heater on a 2 hour per day timer and my bill for the month was $20.00 more.....everything else being the same usage. Does the hot water heater use more energy to reheat the cooler water than if it was to be left on 24 hours?
