Setting the right temp is safer and can save money too!
If you ever look at the hot water heater in your home, you will see a knob near the bottom that allows you to control the temperature. How do you know what is the best setting? How hot is too hot?
As a leading professional home inspection company in Buffalo and all of Western New York, we often see water heaters where the temperature is set pretty darn high. It seems many people believe by setting the temperature higher you get more hot water. Unfortunately, you do not; you just get hotter water.
