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!
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 RUclips plumber instead thank you!
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
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 RUclips 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
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
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!
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.
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.
Dude dropped his screwdriver... I wouldn't recommend soliciting this man for any of my tasks "at hand".. I find it rather intriguing that you shoot a "promiscuous" winky face to this jake from state farm kaki wearing lil ugly ass dude... Holy balls lady if you dont have a man at home to adjust your water heater going about it this way in some states is a felony... Sheesh lady. I love jesus and jesus loves me
@@chrisshock9465 Lighten up there, Chris. You mad at her because she made a wink face to this guy, who dropped a screwdriver..., all the while, you having no lady? She made a smiling face because the guy helped her, made a video to show her how to adjust her water heater. You mad, because guys like this making videos like this,, and worried then that women wouldn't have any use for a "man" like you. Jesus has nothing to do with it
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.
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.
Rev You`ve made me fucking laugh. I hope , you are still alive(and warm), not cold and six feet under! Yeah, it is unnecessary step, but the one compared to directions on let`s say a condom package: "use with care, as there is %0.1 chance of failure, if not used properly. Shit happens! Well, in the end I have turned it off as well, just in case. Back in Poland we used to say"God protects the protected ones"("Strzeżonego Pan Bóg strzeże".It`s all about common sense:)
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 ❤️
Thanks so much! I was scared to do this by myself, I didn't want to get electrocuted. I wasn't sure what breaker to shut off, but figured that one out. Now we can have hot water! Thank you thank you thank you!
This is something that my girlfriend need very bad bcuz her hot water take forever to get hot and thanks to you i just went dwnstairs and turned it up.It was set @ 120° and i set it @ 140°.That should make a difference but if it doesn't,i'll turn it up a lil more.Thank you sir!
Thanks for this video! My water was way to hot, I adjusted thanks to this video. I was use to adjusting gas powered water heaters so I needed to see this video.
Our hot water heater is only 2 years old but the water takes forever to get hot.Been a problem for years,even got a hot water pump and still did not work on all faucets.I will set it to the max today and hope it don't burn out.Thanks
Thank you. I’m going to do the opposite: I’m turning it down a few degrees because it’s so hot outside right now. I prefer cooler water during the summer.
Just bought a house and the previous homeowner didnt seem to know how to change its temp (just left it super hot)... now I can know how to change it to lower temp...
Thanks for the video. My tank is only about 3 years old. I tried this and noticed that my temperature was already set to 155. The water is hot but not hot enough for my dishwasher. I like to see steam when I open the dishwasher. Any thoughts?
Great video. Too bad they have a Federal Pacific electric panel... The breakers have the potential for becoming stuck, overheating, and starting fires.

The number 1 user of power is your..... wait for it..... THE DRYER! How much do you use your dryer? Use clothline more if possible.

3 months of lukewarm showers. Thank you! So easy!!!
Finally. Just moved into our new home and never had a water heater without exterior knobs. Confusing! LOL
There is also a setting on a lot of showers that limits it to get full hot
Did this fix your problem?
@@acecomer98 Sure did! Still enjoying long, hot showers.
Me too. Hot showers are life
You just saved me a plumber call. I sincerely appreciate how clearly you described this. Worked like a charm. Many thanks!
Thank you for making a to-the-point and easy to understand tutorial!

I just adjusted mine today. Lol! Same reason!
Thank you so much! Single mom here, I really appreciate the tutorial; straight forward, to the point and informative!

You talking the blow off valve down pipe that should run to floor drain?
What is federal pacific panel?
@@Plove93 it’s the fuse panel box that he turned the breaker off in at the beginning of the video. Just an old model of panel that had issues
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 🚿😊

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

Ryan with Home Choice Plumbing can drop his screwdriver wherever he wants as long as he looking FOINE AF bent over in my laundry room 🤣

There’s nothing better than a nice warm cozy shower at night.it’s a basic necessity we sometimes take for granted

The suspense is killing me
Oh. I'm not dead. My wife made me turn it off.

Thank you. New water heater was installed and I was getting Luke warm water only after 10 min. Great easy video.

Thanks! Appreciate these kinds of videos!....made it super easy to do. I guess the thumbs down must be greedy plumbers/electricians.
never occurred to me that there would be two temperature selectors. Thanks.
Thanks man, great video.
Simple and straightforward.
Thank you for your help. My wife will soon be a bit more happy. Shalom aleichem.

Thank you!!! Very helpful and easy to understand.
Just bought a house and the previous homeowner didnt seem to know how to change its temp (just left it super hot)... now I can know how to change it to lower temp...
Good info, thank you👍.
Had no idea it was so easy, thank you for making the video!
Shouldn’t you set one of the thermostats to a slightly higher temp than the other for water heat stacking?
Thanks, Ryan.
Thank you for showing us this :) Big help
You saved me friend!!
good vid dude,very helpful.
Thanks so very much my friend
Thanks for your time sir
I love YT! Thanks plumber guy!
Thank you! I wish I had done this years ago… was so easy and gas bills have been crazy ;/
Thanks Ryan🔥
Thank you ! Your video was so easy
Thanks for the video. My tank is only about 3 years old. I tried this and noticed that my temperature was already set to 155. The water is hot but not hot enough for my dishwasher. I like to see steam when I open the dishwasher. Any thoughts?
Thanks for this. Much appreciated.
Great video. Too bad they have a Federal Pacific electric panel... The breakers have the potential for becoming stuck, overheating, and starting fires.
Tanks that is a a lot help
