Electric Hot Water
While electric hot water is the most expensive to run, you can opt for off peak.
Electric hot water heaters that operate using a continuous tariff means that whenever the water temperature drops below the thermostat set point, the element is turned on and will start heating the water at any time of day or night, even when it’s not needed.
With off peak pricing you are charged different rates depending on when you use your energy. So it costs less when using electricity to heat your water at less popular times of day.
Up to a quarter of energy used in households is from electric hot water systems. So switching to an off peak tariff can really help save you lots of money as you are using electricity when it’s at its cheapest.
But beware that this doesn’t mean less energy is used, only that it’s cheaper to run. So keep that in mind if the environment is an important consideration.
