As we're on the topic of standalone hot water heaters, do you know what temperature you have set on the thermostat? - a good check to see if it is too high is to run your hot tap and see if you can keep your hands in the water stream without redness, scalding or second degree burns.
The minimum temperature you should have "at the tank" is one hundred and thirty degrees, and you may find that your thermostat temperature is set much higher than that.
Every extra degree above 130 is going to cost you money.
If you have a standalone electric tank, two thermostats need to be adjusted. If you're going to adjust them, a handy tip is to switch off the tank at the fuse or breaker panel to prevent that unwanted electrocution thing.
