Tip 2:  
Wrap your cylinder
Wrapping your hot water cylinder and hot water pipes effectively could save you up to $85 a year.
Tip 3:  
Check your hot water temperature
Hot water should be 55°C at the tap and 60°C at the cylinder. Even an extra 10°C on the thermostat of your hot water system could be costing you $30 a year.
