Dang a water heater is 4500 watts. If you used that only when you when showering or bathing you would save tons of money. 4500 watts. Thats more watts than most peoples grows.

Takes a half hour to warm up about
Cool that is one of the best ideas I have heard. Take a guess sparrow but how much do you think you have saved be only using your water heater when you need it.
I am to lazy to do it myself it is just an idea. Maybe 80 dollars a month if you live alone. In Europe they use this box which heats the water as it passes through which is even more effiecent as you have no water tank and no wasted heat. A water heater blanket is helpfull aswell.
CrusadeBoxer is right - Get a timer for the water heater and insulate the shit out of it.. I found $500 in savings last year by installing that little do-hickie on my water heater. My electric bill now is $95 (+/-$15) for a 1400 sq feet house, with Electric - a hot tub(kept at 102), water heater, range/stove, 60" TV, and 800w of growing forum. Disclamer - I use Propane for heat that is delivered.

steal electric from your neighboor, but share some buds with them after harvest

Jdog I changed my name to Chris Seekins for a couple of reasons.
1. Spending 8 hours a day on the site answering questions the number of posts I had was skyrocketing and I did not want to have more then others.
2. I have been reading threads where people are worried about getting caught so I decided to use my real name to set them at ease.
3. I did not think it would cause any one any pain or trouble.
4. Why not?
My Karmaxul account was banned for starting another name.
Then my Chris Seekins account was banned because Zandor says I am a scammer.
I have sent money to people on the site and never got merchendice, but never the other way around. My fert. business was adverticed in High Times last month in the first ever all organic annual issue as the only fert add in the magizine. I do not try to push my product and recommend other organic products that people are familar with to not step on any toes. It seems some people thought it would be funny to say I was someone named Tricome Creator and after many times of saying I was not and even showing documents that I was not they felt it would be fun to give me a head ache and hard time. Not appreciated. It is no secert that I am a grower and since High Times is doing an article about me in the next issue I felt why not just use my real name. I am not worried about the police or the feds.
I have respect for many people on the forum and find it a great place to teach new growers and also learn. I try to answer any question I can as I have had alot of experience watching thousands of my plants grow. I have made many educational threads in the new organics section and mostly wish to help crop new growers as I have time and that is what I love to do.
