My water heater is located in my basement along with the washer, dryer, and furnace. I have wanted a water heater blanket, is this something I should feel comfortable putting on myself safely?

Yes you can! They are made to be easily installed. Just follow the directions on the blanket.

How old is your water heater? We just put in a new one, and the installer said not to use over energy efficient ones.
When was the last time you drained it. We replaced ours last year, and my husband had not drained it every year. It was so filled with crystals that form when water heats, it would not drain. We replaced, and our electric bill went down thirty dollars. These crystals interfere with the water heating quickly. If is ok that way, an insulation blanket will probably help. Easy to put on.
