What is the Best Temperature Setting For a Water Heater?
In most households, the water heater is the most energy intensive appliance, second only to the air conditioner and furnace. Turning the temperature down 20 degrees can save 6 to 10 percent on energy costs. Setting the water heater temperature to 120 Fahrenheit works well in most cases. If you're finding that 120 F is leaving you wishing the water was hotter, gradually adjust the setting upward until a comfortable setting is achieved.
