Best Answer

There is a thermostat inside an accessible panel on the hot water heater. The panel is typically secured by two screws. When the temperature goes below the set level the heater turns on. You'll either see a specific temperature or just an adjustment that says hotter. Some installations have an external timer that might turn off the hot water heater between midnight and 5AM, for example.
