Default Safe Temp. For Gas Fired House Hot Water Heater ?

Hello,

What is the "typical," Safe, temp. setting for the vertical style gas
fired house hot water heater ?

Wife is always complaining about not enough hot water, but am a bit
concerned about making the dialed temp., too hot, and perhaps increasing
the pressure in the tank too much, or making unsafe in some other way.

Opinions ?

Thanks,
B.

Hi,
I set it at 145 Deg. F. Maybe your tank is undersized?
