I live alone in a small house, and I was wondering if there was
any downside (particularly with regard to safety and the expense of
using the heater) to turning off my gas heater at selected times
during the day. I really only use the heater when I wash dishes and
take a shower at night, and I am wondering if repeatedly turning off
the heater everyday (late in the evening after I have used it) is safe
and whether it will save me substantial amounts of money. Thanks for
any assistance that anyone can provide.
