Florida is so concerned about having a shortage of fresh water. I think think the builders should start thinking about how to get water heaters more to the center of the house.
Not that we have experienced. It's mere pennies a day. We have our Watts circulation pump on a time so it is not circulation water during the night while we sleep. I have it set to come on at 6am and go off at 11pm. We have not noticed an increase in electric consumption.
