I'd leave the hot water tank hooked up and just take cold showers. Have the hot water when you need it. You'll save almost as much money.

You keep asking for ways to lower your bill, but no details as to what is using the power. Some detail would be good. You did say you run dehumidifiers, which I do too. I just had a guy in here who saw the dehumidifier I'm using and told me to get an April aire unit. So I looked it up, an 80 pint a day April aire unit draws about 5 amps. The unit I'm using now draws 7.6 amps and is only rated at 40 pints. So in a perfect world the April aire would run half the time of my 40 pint unit and use only 2/3s the power while it is running half the time. Those are the things to look at. Another might be your fridge or freezer. If those are older a new one may save money.
