Every opening, seam, utility and light bulb represents a potential energy drain. Even curtains have an impact
on your heating and cooling cost! Water heaters are often over looked.
In older model homes, the water heater was only accessible outside through a metal door.
The only thing between your water heater and the cold is a metal door!

As such, water heaters represent a potential energy waste. In the winter, the elements have to kick on
more often to keep the water warm, costing more in electricity. Purchasing a newer more efficient water heater won't fix the problem. You need to insulate the water heater.
Insulate the water heater? What magic is this? Isn't my water heater insulated already!?
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes, but you can make it better. Check out:
Hot Water Heater Insulation Jacket
The insulation jacket works just like a..jacket. It is an additional barrier between the elements are your
hot water. Just like in the snow, layering helps!
Great advice! We are new readers of the site...keep it up. :)

Mobile homes do, and always will remind me of when my cousin was living in one, and burnt it to the ground. Luckily no one was injured. The moral of the story is, during the winter, don't leave ashes in a plastic bucket. He thought they had cooled down, as they were a few days old, but he soon found out they were hot, as they melted the bucket in the middle of the night, and burned everything. http://www.thirdcreeksupplyinc.com
