We bought a hot water heater in January. The factory setting is supposed to be 120 degrees. The plumber isn’t allowed to set it higher because anything higher could scald a baby. Well, we had to turn it up to 120 degrees since it wasn’t actually even that high. Everything was great. For about the last month, when I take a shower in the morning I keep having to nudge the water temp up until it’s all the way up and all that’s coming out is warm water. It wasn’t like this when it got installed. So, when I called the srevice people and they tell me to turn up the temp on the heater since we’re in the colder months I about flipped. Colder months? I live in Florida. A month and a half ago it was still 85 degrees out and I think the water temp in the gulf was pretty high, at least Wilma seemed to think so.
A tech is scheduled to come out, but if he says there is nothing wrong and the temp just needs to be turned up it’s going to cost me $60.
Why can’t I just accet things like this? why does it get me so damn angry?
