Not many people find jumping into a cold shower before bed relaxing. It also stands to reason that an icy cold shower isn’t what most people want to wake up with either. When these things happen, chances are your hot water heater isn’t working properly. Being without hot water is challenging when it’s time to wash dishes too. When you have no hot water, it’s time to call a plumbing company that deals with Water Heaters Boca Raton to determine what the problem is.
Many times there is no sign that your water heater is going out. You may walk into the garage or the closet where the heater is located and find a soggy floor. Then when you check the faucet, you realize there is no hot water. When this happens, it’s usually one of two things wrong with the heater. One is a simple fix and other calls for a new heater. If the fitting on the water heater has loosened for some reason, it may leak water onto the floor. If that happens, all it takes is a quick tightening of the nut and the water heater will stop dripping and continue to work properly. More than likely though, the water heater is leaking due to a rusted tank. If that’s the case, the heater will need to be replaced.
Occasionally the water coming out of the faucet is only lukewarm and not hot. Sometimes this is due to a faulty thermostat or heating element. The age and condition of the heater will determine if it should be repaired or replaced. If the heater isn’t too old, it may be worth replacing the parts, as you should get more use out of it. If the tank is getting old, it’s probably better to replace the entire unit to ensure you won’t have another problem in the near future.
