Several Common Problems With Water Heaters
Whether you have an electric or gas-fueled water heater, you expect it to work flawlessly for warm water at all times. Although the tank is insulated to reduce heat loss, some common problems may occur anyway. What do commercial water heater repair technicians address?
No hot water? An appliance that doesn’t produce hot water may not receive power, may have a tripped limit switch, or have one or more failed heating elements. Technicians will first check the heater’s circuit breaker in the fuse box to ensure it hasn’t tripped. If the problem is not with the circuit breaker, they will reset the whole device. If it still refuses to work, they will inspect the individual heating elements by removing the insulation and safety guard and testing each part of the heating element. They will replace it if it is damaged.
Temperature fluctuations are another common issue. Inadequate hot water in the plumbing may frustrate your entire business. One of the most typical reasons is a system too small for your hot water demand. If you are unsure about it, call an experienced plumbing contractor to check if your requirements match the capacity of your equipment.
Extremely hot water could be just as frustrating. Your water heater’s thermostat could be set too high. A skilled technician will remove the access panel, insulation, and safety guard to adjust the thermostat.
See any water leaks around your water heater? If your device is too old and it has any rusty or corroded components in the tank, it will cause water to leak. Any professional contractor will check your system to determine the exact reason for the leakage.
