Why Is My Water Heater Not Producing Hot Water?

There are various potential reasons why your water heater might not be producing hot water:

  • Thermostat Settings: Check that your water heater's thermostat is correctly adjusted. Sometimes, it may be set too low or accidentally turned off.
  • Pilot Light: If you have a gas water heater, a common issue could be the pilot light going out. Without it, the burner won't ignite to heat the water. You'll need to follow the manufacturer's instructions to safely relight it.
  • Electrical Issues: Electric water heaters can experience problems with their heating elements, thermostats, or electrical supply, which can prevent adequate water heating. Ensure the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.
  • Sediment Buildup: Over time, sediment can accumulate at the bottom of the tank, reducing heating efficiency. Flushing the tank can often resolve this issue and restore proper heating.
  • Capacity Constraints: If your household's hot water demand exceeds the heater's capacity, you may run out of hot water quickly. Consider upgrading to a larger tank or a tankless water heater.
  • Age and Wear: As water heaters age, they may become less efficient or develop internal issues that affect heating performance. If your unit is old, replacement may be necessary.
  • Leaks or Damage: Inspect the water heater for leaks or physical damage, as these can also affect its ability to heat water effectively.
  • Gas Supply Issues: For gas water heaters, ensure there's an adequate supply of gas reaching the appliance. Problems with the gas line can prevent proper heating.

For accurate diagnosis and repair, consulting the manufacturer's manual or contacting a qualified plumber is recommended. They can provide expert guidance and ensure the issue is resolved safely and effectively.

Gas Water Heater Repair

Do you have gas water heater problems? If you have a gas water heater that doesn't seem to be working, the first thing you should check is the pilot light. You may just need to follow the instructions on the side of your water heater to relight the pilot and get the flame going again. If this does not resolve your problem, you may need a new thermocouple.

Because this type of water heater runs on natural gas, they should only be serviced by licensed professionals who are specially trained to safely work with gas. If gas somehow manages to leak from the gas line connected to the unit, this could result in an unsafe explosive situation. It is important to make sure that the gas is shut off and is only turned back on again when the pilot light is lit. At EZ Flow Plumbing, our experienced technicians are qualified to install and repair gas water heaters.

Can gas water heaters be serviced by non-professionals?

While it may be tempting for homeowners to attempt DIY repairs or maintenance, the complexity and safety risks associated with gas appliances make it essential to leave these tasks to experienced technicians.

  • Safety First: Gas water heaters involve combustible fuel and high temperatures, which can pose significant hazards if not handled correctly. A professional plumber has the necessary training to identify potential risks, such as gas leaks or faulty connections, ensuring that your home remains safe.
  • Expert Knowledge: Professional plumbers understand the intricate workings of gas water heaters. They can accurately diagnose issues, perform necessary repairs, and suggest the best maintenance practices to extend the lifespan of your unit. Their expertise allows them to spot problems that a non-professional may overlook, potentially saving you from costly repairs down the line.
  • Warranty Protection: Many manufacturers require that gas water heaters be serviced by licensed professionals to maintain warranties. Attempting repairs yourself could void these warranties, leaving you responsible for any future issues that may arise.
  • Comprehensive Service: When you hire a professional plumbing company, you receive a thorough service that includes not only repairs but also important maintenance tasks. This can involve checking the pressure relief valve, flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup, and ensuring all safety features are functioning correctly.

While it may seem feasible to service a gas water heater yourself, the potential risks and complications highlight the need for professional repairs. Protect your home, ensure safety, and maintain the efficiency of your water heater by trusting us for all your gas water heater needs.

Is it Time to Replace Your Water Heater?

While maintenance and repairs are a great way to prolong the life of your water heater, sometimes it’s just as important to know when to call it quits. Rather than spending all your money trying to fix a dying system, it’s better to invest in a new unit all together.

Call our Gilbert plumbers for a water heater installation if you notice:

  • Rusty water – Overtime, your water heater’s metal parts corrode contaminate your water with rust. If you notice this, it’s definitely time for a new system.
  • Old water heater – They average water heater lasts about 8-12 years, depending on how well you take care of it. If it’s been longer than 12 years, it’s time to consider replacing your water heater.
  • Leaks – If you notice pools of water around the unit, it could be a sign that some part of your water heater is cracked and leaking.
  • Not enough hot water – Does your household constantly use up all the hot water? This might mean that your water heater is not big enough to meet the demands of your family.

Whether you want to replace your old water heating unit or want to install a brand new system, turn to EZ Flow Plumbing. Our highly trained plumbers work quickly and efficiently to ensure you and your family are comfortable all year round.

Electric Water Heater Repair

Instead of a gas-fueled flame, electric water heaters use power heating elements to warm your water. If you suddenly lose hot water and are troubleshooting electric water heater problems, you may want to check to make sure that that circuit breaker connected to the thermostat did not turn off. If your heater has no power, the heating elements won’t run. If the breaker is on but there is still no heat, we can replace your heating elements.

Upgrade to a Tankless Water Heater

If you're tired of running out of hot water or dealing with a bulky traditional water heater, it may be time to consider upgrading to a tankless water heater. Unlike traditional water heaters, tankless models heat water on demand, providing a continuous supply of hot water whenever you need it.

Benefits of upgrading to a tankless water heater include:

  • Endless hot water: Say goodbye to cold showers and running out of hot water. Tankless water heaters provide a continuous supply of hot water, so you can enjoy long showers or run multiple appliances simultaneously without any interruptions.
  • Energy efficiency: Tankless water heaters only heat water when it's needed, eliminating the standby energy losses associated with traditional water heaters. This can result in significant energy savings and lower utility bills.
  • Environmentally friendly: Tankless water heaters produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional water heaters. By upgrading to a tankless model, you can reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a greener environment.

Our team of experienced plumbers at EZ Flow Plumbing, LLC can help you choose the right tankless water heater for your home and provide professional installation services.
