We have baseboard heat heated by our hot water heater. The temperature of the hot water heater is set very high to provide efficient heat (or so I am told…). The problem is it’s VERY hot, scalding. We have children and I’m worried about them taking showers and scalding themselves. What can be done? Is the only option one of those hotel style water controls (we have separate hot/cold knobs now)? How much would it cost to install one? I imagine we’d also have to get tile repair work done. Is that expensive? (Honestly, I’d love to re-do the tile too – it’s a rental and it was done terribly). Thanks.
