Factors to Consider When Setting Your Water Heater Temperature

Choosing the best temperature for a hot water heater setting depends on numerous factors, including the appliances that rely on the water heater and the age and number of people living in your home. Take a look at the variables that affect what temperature you should set your water heater:

Your dishwasher: If your dishwasher doesn’t have a booster heater, you may want to keep your water heater at 140 degrees Fahrenheit for optimum cleaning. However, this feature is found in most modern dishwashers. Check your owner’s manual for more information.
Your health: While the bacteria growth inside a tank set to 120 degrees Fahrenheit is safe for most people, you should consider keeping yours at 140 degrees Fahrenheit if you have a suppressed immune system.
The number of people in your home: If you live alone, it’s unlikely you’ll ever run out of hot water when you keep the tank at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if six family members shower back-to-back each morning, the extra 20 degrees helps ensure hot water for everyone.
Whether you have children: Setting your water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit reduces the risk of scalding at the tap, which is especially important if you have kids or older adults living with you.
