Why Don’t I Have Hot Water in My Home?

Have you got from nice, hot showers to ones that are tepid, at best, or just downright cold? Or maybe you’re not getting the hot water you need to ensure your clothes, dishes, and floors are properly cleaned? Experiencing a lack of hot water can be frustrating and, frankly, disruptive. So, what’s causing the issues and how do you stop them?

The root cause of no hot water in a home can vary depending on the type of water heater being used, the plumbing setup, and the maintenance history (or lack thereof) of the water heater. Here’s what you should be looking into:

• Check your thermostat settings. If your water heater’s thermostat is set too low (usually you’ll want it around 120°F), you may not get very hot water. Conversely, a faulty thermostat may fail to signal the heating elements or burner to activate.
• Flush your water heater tank. Over time, minerals in water (hard water, especially), accumulate as sediment at the bottom of the water heater tank. This sediment reduces heating efficiency and can cause overheating or water heater failure.
• Replace your heating elements or burners. In electric models, heating elements can burn out, while gas models may have a malfunctioning burner or thermocouple.
• Look out for water leaks. Leaks in the water heater tank or connections can cause the water heater to lose hot water before it reaches your faucets.
• Consider a tank upgrade. If you have a busy household where multiple appliances or fixtures need hot water simultaneously, your current water heater may not be able to keep up.

Here’s the most important thing when it comes to no hot water in a home: Proper diagnosis is key for finding a resolution. A professional can check the power source and thermostat settings, and inspect the unit for sediment or damage. Need our experts to take a look? Reach out today.

Can a New Water Heater Improve My Home’s Energy Efficiency?

Definitely – water heating accounts for approximately 18% of a home’s energy consumption, so upgrading to a new, energy-efficient water heater can help to reduce utility bills, lower environmental impact, and improve hot water availability.

That said, the type of system you buy matters. Many modern water heaters include features and designs that optimize energy use, but these models that are high-efficiency, like a gas system or a tankless water heater, will cost you more upfront. That said, the long-term savings you’ll gain will be well worth it.

Remember that older tank water heaters continuously heat water to maintain temperature, wasting energy even when not in use. Newer models feature better insulation and smarter controls to minimize this loss. Modern units are also designed with durable materials and components that last longer.

All that said, selecting the appropriate water heater for your needs is a must. Work with us to find the best match for your household size, water usage needs, and budget. For instance, a large family might benefit more from a high-capacity gas condensing tank or multiple tankless units, while a smaller household could save significantly with an electric heat pump water heater.
