We have an electric hot water heater. Its about a year old. (not near it today so don't know the brand).
We noticed over the past week or so that the hot water temp has increased 30% or more. In both the bath and shower, the hot water supply doesn't have to be open near as much as it did to reach a comfortable temp.
Is this a potential hot water heater thermostat issue?
As a side note, 95% of water supply lines in the house were converted from glavanized to copper six months ago. Both hot and cold pressure seems not to have changed since the hot water temp has changed. We did leave a foot or two of galvanized where the lines run though the foundation to connect to the hot water heater because of access issue. This'll be replaced when the hot water heater's replaced.
thanks for any advice.
