gas boiler


I live in a studio apartment by myself and only need hot water in the mornings to shower. Do i save a significant amount of gas by just turning it on in the morning, taking a shower, and turning it off? Its a bit of a hassle, but if it saves money and gas i think its worth it. Let me know, thanks for the help.
i don’t mean a timer, i mean i got physically and turn on and off the heater, i live in mexico where this is common and didn’t know if it was just a old wives tale or actually true

  1. Why does my central heating makes a thump when I turn on a hot water tap?

    My Vaillant central heating system is fairly new and works ok. No one including the installer knows why it makes a thump if turn on a hot water tap when the heating is on. There is no thump when the heating is off....

  2. Combi Boiler Water Pressure Issues?

    We recently had a combi boiler installed in our rented property. Initially the plumbers left the cold water feed from the tank in the loft so the combi boiler was only supplying the hot water. Unfortunately due to the differing pressures (i think), the cold water feed was excessive whilst using the shower the overflow pipe from the loft rained from the side of the house. The plumbers have since rectified that problem by removing the cold water tank and using the boiler to supply both the hot and cold. Unforunately the water pressure is now so low that it takes 30 mins to fill the bath. Also the shower now operates too hot and eventually (after a few mins) runs cold then hot again. Any help would be appreciated....

    No…the unit has a thermostat in it to keep the water at a certain temp all of the time…if you turn it off, the unit has to heat the water for use…this takes time and energy…leave it on..!

    Timers for electric water heaters can save you up to 75% off your water heating bill. I’m not sure if a gas water heater can be retrofitted to a timer. I’d be very carefull about what you’re doing because gas valves,on water heaters, are not meant to be used like a gas stove valve-on,off,on,off at your whim.
