Things We Can Do To Save The Environment - Issue No. 21 - Cozy Up To Your Water Heater
Our water heater is in the garage, so I'm assuming it's warm to touch, because the garage is hot to begin with. But I suppose it doesn't hurt to look into it... Giving credit to TIME,
I'd like to thank them for showing us the many ways we can help
save the environment. Just one person can make a difference,
and
it starts with YOU!

21. Cozy Up To Your Water Heater
Improving your home's efficiency doesn't have to mean hours in the attic
tearing out the insulation. It might be as simple as giving your dear
old water heater a warm hug. Wrapping your heater in an insulated
blanket—one costs about $10 to $20 at home centers—could save your
household about 250 lbs. in CO2 emissions annually. Most water heaters
more than five years old are constantly losing heat and wasting energy
because they lack internal insulation. If the surface feels warm to the
touch, get your heater an extra blankie. You'll both feel better.
