Turned off my water heater and I have my cheapest electricity bill ever.
Was having problems with my water heater so I decided to simply turn off power at the circuit box. With the warmer weather the cold showers are much easier to handle and now that hot weather is arriving I actually prefer cold showers anyway.
My apartment is old and the water heater is likely decades old but this is a quick, easy cheap hack during the warm weather months that could save you big.
Edit: My latest electricity billl is $37. I'm used to paying closer to $100 or even more during peak months like summer and winter. I live in a warm climate, so by june it'll be over 95 degrees for the high regularly.
