^ this with bells onI have gas-fired heating and water and did an experiment to see if it was cheaper to turn my hot water off when I went to work and let it heat up again when I got home, or let it keep it constantly hot during the day
My results concluded that for all 3 tests I did of the hot water (11 hours off, 11 hours on x3) to keep it left on used HALF the amount of energy as to switch it off and let it warm up again.
SCIENCE
