How long should you wait before you have hot water since you reset the water heater and reset the breakers?
As you say you had to reset the circuit breakers, the water heater's heating element may have "died" by shorting to Ground or Earth. This could be the reason why its circuit's breakers tripped to cut off the power. Time to buy a new water heater...? <><><> Typically, you should be able to tell a difference as quick as 15 minutes or so, but it may take well over an hour or two for it to reach "operating temperature". Some electric hot water heaters, you can even hear them as they heat, and you typically can the gas ones. Your biggest variables, assuming you're not using hot water as it heats, is the amount of water that is in the heater, as well as the heating power the heater puts out into the water. Electrics are practically 100% efficient, but gas ones are not even close, but they do operate at higher heater temps and can heat the water faster. <><><> It takes about an hour for a fifty gallon electric water heater to heat up.
Is a 12 gauge wire on 20 amp breaker safe for a sub panel?
Yes, if you are running it no farther than 100 feet. If you are going over 100 feet use AWG # 10 wire on the 20 amp breaker.
What does it mean when your water heater suddenly keeps heating your water hotter and hotter?
The thermostat is broken and needs to be replaced. You need to disconnect the water heater until you can get it repaired to prevent over heating and a possible fire.

1998 transport over heating. when the temp gauge is normal heater is blowing hot when temp gauge gets hot heater blows cool replaced thermostate Why would it be over heating?
This would indicate that the system is low on coolant when the gauge is hot. Not enough coolant to service the heater core.

A short between the heater switch and temperature gauge.
2000 2.7L Dodge Intrepid After the car warms up the heater works only when you are driving the car when you are parked engine still running the heater blows cool air. Where is the thermostat located.?
Either the water pump is unable to pump the warmed water into the heater core, or as you suspect, the thermostat may be sticking open. Do you have a temperature gauge or is it just a light that tells you when you're overheated? If it's a gauge, you should be able to tell when the engine is warm. If the temperature is much over 100 degrees F, you should be able to get heat out of the heater core. I'd be real suspicious of the water pump or possibly low coolant level.
What is the most efficient method Water heater?
One of the most energy efficient water heating methods is the heat pump water heater. This method is proven to be two times more efficient over the standard electric water heater.

Look at the engine temperature gauge. If it goes over 200 degrees, change the thermostat as it is stuck and therefore not allowing coolant to the heater core.
