It isn't always a cold-water heater either. Well, if you don’t heat hot water, then it cools down and isn’t hot water anymore. It isn’t always a cold-water heater either.

Maybe if I insulate it more, since it is in an unfinished basement, then I can turn it down. Lol, I have to say something about this since people have kidded me about it before...
