just write yourself a note so you dont forget takes a while to heat back up

Wouldn't it cost more for it to heat itself back up?

my veg closet is in the shape of a L the part thats closed in is where the water heater is its a closed space i stuck a metal ac grate to vent into my bedroom and stuck the duct on the oppisite wall so it blows through that space i sealed it so really im just saving about 3' of duct i didnt have but the hot air from the 600 blows around the hot water heater before venting out

i wouldnt think so if it runs for 30 minutes constant instead of lets say 5 mins every 30 mins or an hour

 

[tekdc911]

its constantly kicking back on all day to hold temp

I have mine attacked to the wall leading outside of my bedroom into the hallway. I'm using around 17ft of the 20 that I got with the fan.

That's the thing. When I looked while it wasn't on the meter wasn't running hard. Turned it on and it didn't speed up right away, it sped up when I turned it off then it ran for like 15 min at 3600kwh

With it off I am at a constant 600-750kwh

I think the dishwasher is what may be getting me. It runs for a little over an hour with the water turning on a few times running several min and then the wash cycle.

there is prolly more then one heater element in it

I'm thinking one is bad. How long those things usually last?

ive got 12' just wall to wall then have to have slack on both sides of the light to raise and lower it
still not used to 8' of vertical

hell i dunno honestly
5-10 years sometimes depends on brand

 

[tekdc911]

if it was bad it wouldnt be drawing that much
when they go bad they lose connection / break circuit so just one would be running

Well I've been here for 6 so I know its older than that.

I have no idea, I just know it runs harder than anything else. I was able to test all my outlets with my device so I'm good on everything else and tested the ac by the meter and at max it pulls 1200

water heaters draw as much as a electric oven
the elements work like a dead short so they draw some watts
cheapest heater is a on demand but they cost a grand or more upfront so they really dont save you money until after a few years

Gonna change some habits and see what happens.
It could be possible its the meter, but I doubt it cause its pretty new. Maybe 3 years.
