    It is slightly cheaper to have it timed (1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon) but you run the risk of the water running out.

    How do you heat it? Gas costs less than electricity and candles even less. What controls have you got on your system?

    It is always cheaper to have something turned off, but how much you will save, depends on the insulation quality of the cylinder.
