Our electric company will install for free a device that attaches to your
water heater. It will shut off the
water heater during periods of high usage. There is a $3 monthly credit.
As for me, my roommate turns it on in the morning and I turn it off when I leave for work. That's the only time it is needed except for weekly laundry. This saves me ~$60/month!
Aloha,
Doug
