How many hours a day does a water heater run?
A water heater runs 24 hrs a day seven days a week, unless you have a water heater that has a time clock to prevent it from doing so. This is one reason why tankless water heaters are superior to the old style tank. They only heat the water when a hot water spout is opened. A conventional water heater heats the water on and off throughout the day to keep it at the set temperature for use.

Will turning off electrical circuit for three to four hours a day save electricity on hot days?
Turning off any unnecessary electrical equipment will save energy - no matter what the weather is ! The trouble is - many people prefer to leave TV's etc on 'stand-by' rather than switch them off completely. Even if a TV is on stand-by - it's still using electricity - since the circuit that checks for a signal from the remote is still active !Boiling a cup of water in the microwave (instead of using a kettle) uses much less electricity !

How are tankless water heaters green?
Tankless water heaters are green because they only heat the water as it is needed. In a conventional water heater with a tank, there are 20 - 60 gallons of hot water that must be kept hot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Some of the heat in that water is constantly getting out of the tank, no matter how well it is insulated. That means that every so often, the heater must run to bring the water temperature back up. All that heat that leaks out is wasted. A tankless water heater doesn't use any energy when there is no water flowing.
