Electric Hot Water Heater. You can keep the circuit breaker “off” on your electric hot water heater for up to 18-20 hrs a day depending on your needs. It’s always a twin pole breaker (See Video). It is harder to adjust the temperature because you have to take off the covers. It is quite simple to find out what breaker runs it and keep it off when not needed. On either hot water heater it’s a great idea to drain a couple gallons out every 6 months (depending on your water quality) By draining out any sediment in the bottom of the tank, it will increase efficiency.

PS. Drain it until the water is clear.
