What to Do:
Energy Savings in the bathroom mainly center around reducing hot water usage:
- Install aerators on all faucets, to reduce hot water flow rates to less than half the rates with regular faucets without aerators.
- Replace regular showerheads with low flow showerheads and cut hot water usage by 40-50%.
Savings:
- Aerators will save $3-$5/year per aerator.
- Low flow showerheads will save $25-$50/year. Homes with gas-heated hot water will save less while homes with electric hot water heaters will save more.
