Who this is for
For renters and owners who want a clear checklist for safe temperatures, small leaks, the relief valve, flushing, and knowing when a water heater needs help.
Three tips from this guide
- A water heater needs very little attention, but a few simple habits keep everyone safe from scalds, leaks and cold surprises.
- The U.S. CPSC recommends setting water heaters to about 120°F. Keep the area clear, and never block the pressure relief valve.
- Know where the cold-water shut-off is, and how to turn off the breaker or gas control, following the label on the unit.
