Most of us love a steamy, hot shower when the temperatures drop in the winter. On the contrary, the idea of a shower at 120 degrees when it's 95 outside sounds silly. If you are like me (and my family), you opt for a cooler shower during the warmer months. Beginning around March of every year, I take a short walk to my basement and adjust the temperature on my water heater to the cooler setting. You will save money in your gas or electric bill because the water heater will not be working so hard to keep the temperatures so hot.
Bonus Tip: When you go on vacation, adjust your water heater temperature to "Vacation Mode." No need to force your water heater to heat the water when no one is home!
