I adjusted my water heater thermostat down by 7 degrees a few months
ago
and started watching my natural gas consumption numbers.

Initially I saw a 0.6 therm daily year-over-year decrease, then a
0.4
therm daily YoY decrease, then a 0.1 therm daily YoY *increase* and
last
month, the power company said I used as much gas as I did long
*before* I
turned down the water heater thermostat.

I wonder where all that extra gas is going? :/

--Winston -- Hopes this isn't an elevating experience.

Can you reconstruct from old bills if the water heater's gas
consumption was rising before you made the change?
