The average consumption of hot water across all households is 4 litres per person per day for washing machines and 35 litres per person per day for baths and showers. An additional 10 litres of hot water is used for the cleaning of dishes at the sink and for hand and face washing. This gives a total average usage of 49 litres of hot water per person per day. (Source: BERR Government Report 2005, www.berr.gov.uk/files/file16568.pdf) The average water consumption per day in the UK is 150l per person, so up to 30% of water consumption is hot water. Energy Bills on Hot Water: The average home spends 25% of their annual energy bill on hot water. (Source: www.BritishEco.com) Since the average annual energy bills in the UK is now over £1300 (November 2008) this means the home will spend £325 per year on hot water. 75% of this can be saved be installing a Solar Hot Water system.
