At this point in the season, many of us are just doing weekends. I usually turn off the hot water heater on Sunday afternoon/evening when we leave and turn it back on upon returning Friday evening. Is this the most efficient way of doing things? What are others doing in this situation? Mine is a 40 gallon electric unit about 5 years old. Thoughts and opinions welcome!
