How To Adjust The Temperature On An Electric Water Heater 

I have a hard time understanding mechanical tasks. After watching this video one time I went to my attic and adjusted my water temperature. This is the most useful video I have found on youtube for accomplishing a task quickly!

Our electric bill was going up so we had guy out to look at hot water heater but after her left it seemed like we ran out of hot water faster.. I saw your video and when my husband was out I turned power off and proceeded to do what your video showed!! My husband thinks I'm jack of all trades..lol thank you great video

This is soo helpful. I am a new home owner and I don’t have money to pay for every little task that needs to be done in my home. I called the manufacturer for help, but since the water heater is out of warranty they told me to call a plumber. I consulted my RU-vid plumber instead thank you!

Thank you so much. I had been living with mediocre showers for 4 years now. I wanted hotter showers but I didn’t think that I could do it myself. I certainly didn’t want to hire someone to do it. I decided to see if RU-vid had any videos on it, and low and behold there was your video. It was the fist one that I watched and the only one that I needed. It took all of 5 minutes and now I have hot showers again. God bless you

Thank you so much! Single mom here, I really appreciate the tutorial; straight forward, to the point and informative!

You just saved me a plumber call. I sincerely appreciate how clearly you described this. Worked like a charm. Many thanks!

Truely appreciate the tutorial. I never knew it was this easy. My wife is happy with her hotter water and that means I'm happier. Can't wait to watch more of your videos. Please keep them coming

3 months of lukewarm showers. Thank you! So easy!!!

Thank you for making a to-the-point and easy to understand tutorial!

Thank you very much! The water in the apartment just wasn't hot enough.. Turns out the unit was set lower than 125 F! Now it's at ~135 🚿😊

Thanks! The maintenance man at my apartment is very sweet but yesterday he installed a new tub faucet. He instructed me on how to use it, left is hot, right is cold, then he went on to lecture me about how I needed to be careful that I didn’t scald myself. Y’all, I’m 46. Anyway, he mentioned he thought my water was too hot. Before I could tell him I liked it that way, he cut me off and started talking about something else. Unbeknownst to me, he turned it down before he left. Now, my water is little more than lukewarm.

Can't thank you enough for this video! Nearly 5 years ago I moved into a condo with this same water heater. Was never happy with the not quite hot enough water, but didn't have a clue how to adjust it, with no visible temperature control. I flipped off the circuit breakers, & it took me all but 5 minutes to adjust it. I feel like I have a new hot water heater!

I'm gonna try it myself, but I'd much rather have this guy come do it ;)

As a Home Inspector of 22 years thanks for the clear instructions. Just want to bring to your attention The Federal Pacific panel can start house fires and the breakers may fail. - Should be replaces. Also the P/T pipe is missing on the water heater and is a major safety issue.

THANK YOU!!! I knew about the top adjuster, didn't know about the bottom! I adjusted my top one forever ago and I wondered why it never made it any more hotter - now I know.

I literally just try it. I made sure I turn that power off I put mines on 135 degrees. Something telling me I should have turn it up 140 lol 😂 thank you. You was a lot of help ❤️

Thank you for sharing. This video was quick, easy and informative.

Thank you! I rent a home and they replaced the water heater but the hot water wasn’t doing enough. This was very easy and to the point 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Can you really get electrocuted by not turning off the power to the heater? Seems to Pretty safe without that step.. I'm going to try it without turning it off. If I don't respond then you know I'm dead.

Excellent...it worked!
