I got a new electric water heater. This one allows the element wattage for the bottom element to be set to two ranges. 3800 watts for both upper and lower elements and a 5000 watt for the lower element.
What would be the benefit of setting the lower element to the higher wattage?
Drawbacks of same?
Would doing this cause the heater to use more electricity.... becoming more energy inefficient?
Thanks....
