There is NO way it can cost less to leave a hot water heater on.I don't care how insulated the tank is,there will be a heat loss.You will have measurable savings shutting down a heater during the week.My skihouse has an electric 40 gallon and we have hot water in less than 1/2 hour in a house that is set at 50 degrees when vacant.
