#1,
right now your hot water heater thermostat is continuously switching On every
time it senses the smallest tank temperature drop below its present preset or
adjustable setting... that is likely set between 125 and 160 degrees. In essence,
the average home water heater is running all day
and all night long. It is costing the average home and apartment
between $25-$35-$40 percent of your monthly electric bill RIGHT NOW.
#2,
by following the 7-step plan above -using a regular True Value Ace Hardware
hi-temp heat tape + heattape-insulating wrap or Cole-Parmer- you can change
this and stop wasting electricity. YOU gain control over YOUR hourly/daily/monthly
electricity consumption rate.
#3,
YOU are thereby empowered to reduce YOUR CARBON
FOOTPRINT IMMEDIATELY => NO Government Study, No Gov't Commission
taking millions of taxpayer dollars, No Gore/Branscom think tank-approved Hi-Tech
solution required. YOU DO IT, FOR YOURSELF, YOU.
#4,
Your Hot Water Heater is now the Equivalent of a Tankless Hot Water Heater.
Your next month's electric bill will see a significant Usage-per-Day reduction.
Is that ALL?!
No,
that is not all you did by a long shot. You have prevented any more new coal-powered
mercury-spewing electric plants from being built for the next umpteen decades
and that is a very good thing. Coal power plant stacks are seriously evil emitters
of deadly mercury pollution into the environment that is killing ocean life
and killing the Virginia and Massachusetts fishing industry. But
you also slowed the destruction of Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia's beautiful
mountains and animal habitats and ground drinking water, as well the extra monies
required to clean that underground water table so it can be used. In addition
you have stopped the mad rush towards putting
a mini-nuclear power plant just outside your town's limits all across the
United States in one little change to your hot water heaters!
Plus
now you're a smart, successful and very caring environmentalist doing a very
Godly act toward your fellow man. Your electric bill will be $20 to $40.00 less
per month, saving you a big chunk of annual loot to pay on car insurance or
dental work to the tune of $240.00 to $480.00 per year saved.
Just
by flicking the correct light switch. Hmm. I wonder what
else you don't know?
