Sorry if I maybe using incorrect words, English is not my first language. I’m in France and there’s a big electric water boiler which provides all the hot water in our apartment. I have 2 questions regarding the energy consumption:
1. I suppose it consumes electricity initially to heat the water inside, but does it keep consuming to keep them warm?
2. Between 10pm – 6am, the electricity cost is lower in our plan. Does that mean it costs us less if we use the hot water(shower/dishes) between these times?
Cheers!

We have a timer connected to our electric water heater so that we can set it to heat water only at certain times. It has worked fine that way. We have it on for an hour early morning and an hour early evening.
But I am in a sub-tropical climate, so the water also is relatively warm to start.
