FAQ

Electric Hot Water FAQs

Why is my electric hot water system running cold out of nowhere?

In most cases, a sudden loss of hot water is caused by a tripped circuit breaker, a blown heating element, or a failed thermostat. Our plumbers can test the unit and complete an electric hot water system repair on the same day.

Should I repair my old electric system or replace it?

If your system is over 10 years old or the main cylinder is actively leaking from the base, replacing it is usually much more cost-effective. A new unit will run far more efficiently and keep your power bills under control.

Is a leaking electric hot water tank repairable?

Leaks from valves or accessible connections may be repairable. Water escaping from the cylinder itself often indicates internal corrosion and may mean replacement is required.

Why does electric hot water run out quickly?

The unit may be undersized, a heating element or thermostat may have failed, or hot water usage may have increased. We can assess the system and identify the likely cause.

Why is water dripping from the relief valve?

Some discharge can occur during normal heating, but continuous or heavy flow may indicate excessive pressure, a faulty valve or another system problem. Arrange an inspection rather than sealing or blocking the outlet.
