Why Don’t I Get Hot Water from My Water Heater?
Is your water heater not giving you hot water? Our experts are here to offer some answers. Remember, you can request service now by calling (833) 270-8502. Mister Water Heater fixes and installs water heaters in the Indianapolis area.
If You Have a Standard (Traditional) Water Heater
- The first question to ask yourself is, “Has someone used all the hot water already?” If that is the case, just wait half an hour for the hot water heater to refill and heat a fresh supply of water. However, if you often do not have enough hot water from your water heater, it’s time to replace it with a larger model. Give us a call and our trained specialists will work with you to determine the best size for your home.
- Next, check the thermostat on your water heater. The temperature should be in the 122 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit to keep harmful bacteria from growing inside your water heater. Adjust it if need be.
- If your thermostat is malfunctioning and your water heater is not heating, call us for expert repair on your thermostat.
If You Have a Gas Water Heater
- Make sure that the pilot light is on. Sometimes it can be extinguished by a breeze or a draft through a vent.
- Check that the pilot light has a blue light. If it is burning yellow, that could indicate that your unit is releasing carbon monoxide. Call us to walk you through troubleshooting the pilot light or to come repair your water heater. Meanwhile, if you start to feel any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning (lightheadedness, dizziness, or nausea), we suggest you leave the building and seek medical attention.
- If you need to replace your old water heater, we provide gas water heater installation.
If You Have an Electric Water Heater
- Try turning it off for a few minutes and then turning it on again.
- Reset the circuit breaker that the water heater is on. If your water tank is still not heating water, call our professionals for help. Everyone wants you to be safe and not get electrocuted.
The lifespan of most water heaters is between 10 and 15 years, depending on the type. If your water heater is at least 10 years old, investing in a replacement water heater may be your best option. We offer replacements and can install your new electric water heater.
