Water heater dude here. Got it installed tonight. Hooking the wiring up, saw the old one was run with 12AWG. It was a 4500W heater, and this one is 4500W as well. The NEC recommends 10AWG. How serious of an issue is this? I plan on fixing the run tomorrow, but I'm wondering if I should take care of it ASAP or if a week or two will be fine.
