The Virginia Energy Division warns against manufacturers claiming water heater timers save large sums. Technical Coordinator J Temple Bayliss says pennies, not dollars, are saved even with eight to ten hours of daily shutoff. Experts advise insulation, lower thermostat, and reduced hot water use. Consumers may contact the division in Richmond for complaints.
