What about doubling or tripling the insulation, that would cut stand by
losses dramatically.

although the heater will not be actively using gas during off hours,
when the timer turns back on the heater will have to warm up the water.

thats why insulation might be a better investment

dont obstruct any air vents

Hi,
Good heater has already good insulatiuon. As far as I know I never saw
heater firing up when hot water is not used. Our heater is located in
the insulated basement utility room with gas furnace, water softener.
