Default Water Heater again!

At least get a humidity sensing switch for the bathroom fan. Personally, if
someone in my house were wasting that much water and heat, I'd probably be
timing them, and shutting off the water to the water heater after 10 minutes.
That final rinse in straight cold water a few times might convince them.



The response to turning off the hot water is amazing. Do it once or
twice and it won't happen again. My 27 year old grandson was in the
shower after midnight, but after 15 minutes I got out of bed, went
downstairs and turned the hot water off. He no longer risks long
showers. Neither does my daughter that I did it to a couple of times
many years ago.

At $3.60 a gallon for oil, get in, get out. No need to stay in there
wasting money. I have a quiet Panasonic fan too. It is on if the light
is on so they must use it or shower in the dark.
