the water heater you should leave on the power. when the water is heated and then allowed to cool all the way down, bacteria starts to fester in the tank. This becomes a source for Legionares disease. I found this out from someone that ended up getting it this way. I used to shut the power off to the tank as well. Not really saving that much anyways, and I mean not much at all
