Should I leave my water heater ON all the time?

Debunking the greatest asked question for water heaters

⚡ Quick Answer

  • Storage heater: ❌ No need, turn on only when using

💡 Best Practice

  • Storage: Turn ON 20–30 mins before use to save electricity and turn it off when not in use

👉 Install a smart heater switch (program the switch to turn off after 60mins)
