How do you lower the water temp in your home?

Answer 1

Hot water tanks have a dial that can be adjusted from a warm temperature to a very hot temperature. The dial is clearly marked with temperature ranges, in numbers. You'd simply turn the dial to a new setting and the hot water tank will make the adjustment in how much it heats the water. Most experts recommend lowering the home's water temperature to save money and to prevent hot water burns. During summer months when a family is on vacation, you can set the hot water tank to the lower heat setting to save several dollars in natural gas or electricity costs.
