Save money and instantly reduce your electrical consumption by 4500 watts.
Getting Off Oil, World news Saturday, April 28th, 2012Everyone in the World who uses electricity in their home can instantly reduce their electrical bill by 4500 watts. Even if you live in warmer climate regions, you can reduce your electrical bill without buying or installing any new energy saving device, without hiring an electrician and without making any expensive modifications to your home. Anyone can instantly reduce their electrical energy consumption simple by turning off the power to your home’s hot water heater. As simple as flipping the breaker switch on your home’s electrical panel to off, when hot water is not needed, will instantly reduce your electrical bill. Turn it on only during the times you need hot water – when you take a shower, cook, wash dishes, or do your laundry. As soon as your are done showering, cooking or washing turn off the hot water heater.
How much energy does your hot water heater consume? It consumes enough energy to light 321 fluorescent 14 watts light bulbs or 225 fluorescent 20 watts lights bulbs. Incandescent light bulbs were not driving up your electrical bill, your hot water heater is.
In the summer months you don’t use lights but your electrical bill is always high and every year it keeps on going up even though you now use the toxic, life threatening and environmentally unfriendly fluorescent light bulbs. Your hot water heater is the cause of high electrical bills even in the summer months.
You have been duped by your government and the electric power company. They had you believe that by getting rid of incandescent lights and replace them with the very toxic fluorescent light bulb you would reduce your electrical bill and save the environment. Well those who have been duped now know that their electrical bill hasn’t been reduced, their life span has and their financial savings has by buying the more expensive fluorescent light bulbs.
How has their life span been reduced? Compact fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury. Mercury is a powerful neurotoxin that can cause serious damage to the all the tissues and organs in the body as well as the central nervous system and endocrine system and it disrupts functioning of crucial neurotransmitters in the brain. It is one of the most toxic substances on the planet and has been linked to a variety of serious health conditions like autism, memory problems, infertility, depression, thyroid disorders, alzheimers, adrenal disorders, anxiety, Parkinson’s and MS to name a few. It is especially toxic to children, pregnant women and small pets. Thanks to fluorescent lights bulbs millions will become sick. Children will become autistic. Pregnant women will have an abortion without going to an abortion clinic. Babies will be born prematurely and with serious health issues and deformities. Seniors will suffer serious neurological disorders – such as Alzheimer, dementia, Parkinson depression, anxiety, as they are the ones subjected to the ill effects of fluorescent light bulb exposure. Everyone else will be mercury poisoned whenever a fluorescent light bulb breaks and is haphazardly thrown into the garbage. By casually throwing a broken fluorescent light bulb into the garbage you will be destroying the environment as most garbage still goes into landfill sites and the mercury from the millions of broken and discarded fluorescent light bulbs will seep into the ground and into the water table. If you live down stream from a landfill site you will eventually be drinking and eating foods grown and cooked using this mercury contaminated water.
Now that you replaced the incandescent light bulb with the expensive and toxic fluorescent light bulb, did you save energy, money or the planet?

4500 watts is enough electrical power to heat an entire apartment or condominium. Think about it. Average power consumption of a baseboard heater is between 1000 watts and 1500 watts. 4500 watts is enough electrical energy to power as many as 4 baseboard heaters. How many baseboard heaters are in your apartment or condominium? Turn on the water heater for only an hour in the early morning and that’ll give you enough hot water for the day.
How much does it cost to run an electric water heater:
Hydro electric power companies claim that 3 hours is the approximate daily run-time for a water heater – depending on usage and temperature of incoming water. Bath uses 12-15 Gallons hot water – shower uses 5-9 Gallons hot water
3 hours a day @ $.10 per Kwh
What is Kwh or Kilowatt-hour? Kwh is the standard unit for billing used by electric companies. The cost varies from 10¢ – 20¢ per Kwh
1 Kwh = 1000 watt-hours of electricity so a 4500 watt hot water heater consumes 4.5 Kwh of electricity. 3 hours a day x 4.5 Kwh x 30 days a month = 405 Kwh
5500 Watt tank = 495 Kwh per month = $49.50 per month + tax
4500 Watt tank = 405 Kwh per month = $40.50 per month
3500 Watt tank = 315 Kwh per month = $31.50 per month assuming low usage
You pay that every month, 12 months a year. Just by reducing the on time to 1 hour per day you reduce your electrical bill to $13.50 month – a 300% reduction in energy consumption and cost.
