Is it better to add a hot water heater timer or add a water heater blanket or both?

Just wondering if it was cheaper to keep the heater on constantly or have the timer turn the heater on when programmed. Kinda like they say its cheaper to keep a house cool then to let it heat up and then cool it down.

Hello! I may have a problem with water hammer or pockets of air or whatever in my plumbing system. In order to troubleshoot, I want to drain the water from the pipes for the whole house and then refill it. What should I do with the water in water heater and water softner? Do I drain the water heater and water softner? Just turn power off on my Kenmore water softner? or use bypass valve? Thanks for your time!
