Default Re: Hot water

We own a CY Villa. Our neighbor installed a mini-circulator (about $250 installed) on his bathroom pipes right after he moved in. He told me that it was on a timer and would only circulate hot water during the early morning hours. About a year later he mentioned to me that he stopped using it because circulating hot water caused his hot water tank to use more gas. So you might save money on using less water but lose some or all of the savings on the higher heating costs. But it can certainly be done after the original build.
