How To Change or Adjust Electric Water Heater Temperature

How to change or adjust electric water heater temperature. If your water temp is not hot enough or too hot and you want to adjust the temp set, in this video I show you exactly how to do so. Besides showing where to find the thermostats and how to adjust them, I also explain what the temp settings should be set to and how the thermostat works. And just for those that may be curious, I also take a thermostat apart at the end of the video to see what it looks like inside and how it really works.

This was great! Start with practical advice (the real reason I was looking for the video), then show the nerdy "how" of the thermostat. Even the little crypto story at the end made me smile (sorry you lost the money though!)
Thank you!

I can’t tell how much I appreciate this video. You should be an instructor with a Technical College…you have very clear in detail instructions for the average person/home owner to do DYI projects. Yes, I totally agree with OSHA when it comes with the hot water and sanitation which doubles the effects for a nice hot bath or shower! Thank you

Dear Jay,
Your step-by-step demonstration is very easy to understand -- Just what I needed to be able to adjust the water temperature setting on my water heater. In fact, I just finished it a couple of minutes ago. I see that you've been complimented many times before on your gift for teaching. It's true. Thank you so much for putting this info out there for us.

[Ratlins]

Jay, if you ever decide to open a school, let us know. Your teaching skills are stellar!

[waltercrews]

Just discovered your channel for information while dealing with our water heater and after 3 videos I have watched of yours I must say that it is refreshing to see complete and concise information given in an easily understandable manner with examples. Keep up the great work we appreciate your efforts Sir.
