Has anyone figured out what is cheaper, leaving your hot water heater on electric on all the time or turning it on and off as needed. The world wonders.

6 cycles per day to do not very much at all. The electric setting draws 1200 watts so that is 1.8 KWH of wasted energy.... But someone is paying the bill. If it is you, turn off and save your pennies.
Yes, you will be saving pennies.
And that's if you don't use any hot water throughout the day. I sorta like washing my hands after using the toilet. But that's just me. Pennies be damned.
