Typical residential tanks range from 20 gallons to 50 gallons for a household. You can reduce costs by using an on-demand system or one that is heated with solar energy. While both of these eco-friendly systems may cost more initially, they will save homeowners money over the long run.f you lower the temperature on your hot water heater, it will take less energy to keep it fired up. If you mix your scalding H2O from the tank with cold from the tap, you're wasting energy. You can also set your system on a timer so it's only heating up during certain times of the day. If you wrap your tank with an insulated blanket designed for this purpose, you can keep the warmth inside and reduce the costs, as well.
