Just a quick little savings tip that has worked wonders for us…
Put a timer in the shower. (we use Chris’ stopwatch) – For interest’s sake, just time your shower one morning. You’ll be surprised by how long you actually spend in there.
Next time, try and beat your time.
We managed to get from 10 – 12 minute showers down to maximum 5 mins. But often I can be in and out within 2 – 3 mins. (This is probably because I’m a bit competitive! I would note Chris’ time in the shower and then always tried to beat it)
While this is not as luxurious as long, hot, sudsy showers – heating water is one of the most expensive components of your electricity bill.
I know its seems like such common knowledge – a no brainer of a savings tip. But I truly believe that more often than not, we are having longer showers than we actually think we are.
Time yourself and see.
