I guess I forgot to say ... the water heater inthere that I replaced was a 40 gallon 2-element unit needing 240v. A normal water heater.

They make 115v water heaters. What size was it?

I replaced a water heater that wasn't running well and getting rusted out. But when I checked the wires, it was a 2-wire run with no ground that was connected to a single 15 amp circuit breaker and neutral. I was flabbergasted, of course.
My question is, going to a normal double 30 amp circuit breaker, would that mean the electrical power would be less or more to heat up water? I can't figure out if the heater would be continuously running in the initial set-up or if it would run normally and so would be less power but not as hot.
