    So I was wonder if anyone could give me insight on something new I was going to start trying. I wanted to turn on the heater in the bathroom while I take a shower so that I can lower the water temperature while still feeling warm. So my question is if it takes more energy and costs more to run the heater in the bathroom while I shower with cooler water, or if just leaving the heater off and taking a hot shower costs less?
