Default Temperature fluctuation
How much temp fluctuation is normal for a propane water heater (40 gal.)? I just had a new thermostat put in and the water still fluctuates 8 degrees or more....don't know what to make of it. If I set it at 120 degrees should I expect to get 120 from the faucet?
Thanks much,
Dave

Yes, you should.

How old is your water heater?
