My Water Heater Isn’t Giving Me Hot Water. Why?

We often take water heating systems for granted until it malfunctions. One day, you use the shower then the water just never warms up. Instead of guessing what went wrong to your water heater, Mesa plumbers can help you fix the problem right away. The article lists the possible reasons for the loss of hot water coming from the water heater. 

Mineral Build-up

Keep an eye for mineral buildup in your pipes and water heater. Some water contains calcium and magnesium, which often cause damaging accumulation if not addressed immediately. To prevent this, we recommend flushing the water heater with a cleaning agent once every six months. You can also buy a water softener to delay the onset of the buildup.

System Overload

If you have too many showers that rely on a single water heater at the same time, expect the equipment to struggle in supplying water at the right level of heat. Consult your contractor first before connecting shower pipes to the water heater since this can only release a certain volume of heated water at a given time. Even better, buy another unit and entrust water heater installation Mesa to a seasoned contractor.

Heating Failure

This could either pertain to problems related to ignition or heating itself. Check whether the gas tank and water valves are fully opened. Inspect whether the tank is not empty, or if you have paid the utilities for the month. Otherwise, call the manufacturer’s customer support to discuss the problem or contact a contractor to detect and fix what went wrong with your water heater.
