Take a look at your hot tap water - in many houses, the hot water tank is located in an out-of-the-way location like in the garage. Every time you open the hot water faucet, the hot water starts flowing in the pipe, but unfortunately, many times you're done washing before the hot water reaches your hands (that's 100% waste of energy).
