Did you know that for every 10 degrees that you turn your hot water heater down that you can shave 3-5% off your water heating energy costs!  There are many recommendations for water heater settings, I have seen some at low as 115 degrees.  Beware though, I have also read that turning your hot water down too low can result in the growth of bacteria inside your hot water heater!  NASTY!  So, after reading many different recommendations, it appears to me (this is my opinion only) that the heater itself should be set at 130 degrees to prevent the growth of NASTY stuff inside your hot water heater.  This allows for delivery of water at the tap of about 120 degrees (remember that the water is probably cooling as it travels your pipes) and this is a safe temp at the tap.   Ours is set at 140 degrees and we turned it down to 130 degrees.   We should start seeing a savings in our utility bills.   Can’t wait.
