It seems as if your water heater waited for chilly weather before breaking.

The cooler weather early in the morning has made preparation for next week’s Turkey Trot a lot more pleasant. But just because it’s cooler, it doesn’t mean that you’re not hot, sweaty and looking forward to a nice, warm shower.

Trouble is, your shower won’t cooperate. To begin with, the water won’t get hot enough and then the hot water quickly turns cold, way before you’re finished.

“Several types of electric water heater issues can cause problems with water temperature,” amerifirst.com says. “Symptoms can range from no hot water to inadequate hot water to water that’s too hot.”

Amerifirst.com explains: “When there’s no hot water, the problem can stem from lack of power, a faulty electric thermostat or a faulty upper electric heating element. … When the water’s not hot enough, the problem can be an undersized water heater, crossed hot and cold connections, or a faulty heating element or thermostat. … When water is running too hot, it usually means the thermostat is set too high.”

These possibilities all assume, of course, that your water heater isn’t on its last legs. The problem could be a water heater that needs to be replaced.

The fastest and easiest way to determine what’s wrong is to have a trusted plumber examine your water heater to track down and repair the problem. You can find a reliable 24-hour Tampa Bay plumber by calling Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

If your shower runs hot then cold then hot again, it’s time to call the plumbing pros at Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help.

When you got back from watching the rodeo at the Pasco County Fair, all you could think about was taking a nice hot shower to scrub off the dirt and grime. You got your shower. And it was hot. Then it was cold. Then it was hot again. Then cold. The temperature was inconsistent. 

“It may be the most common and well-known cause of inconsistent water temperatures: another water demand is initiated elsewhere in the house, thus affecting the temperature of the water flowing from your tap. When a dishwasher turns on or a toilet is flushed, there is a new demand for water placed on the system,” thespruce.com says. “Since the system is central to all of your home’s services, all must share both the cold and hot water.”

Replacing the shower cartridge should solve the problem, thespruce.com says.

If you want help in fixing your inconsistent temperature problem, then give the plumbing experts at Billy the Sunshine Plumber a call.

When your hot water heater goes on the blink, call Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help.

It’s been chilly this weekend – perfect weather for the St. Pete Run Fest. It’s also good weather for a long hot shower or bath. Unfortunately, when you hopped in the shower this morning, all you got was cold water. It never heated up. That long, hot shower turned into a brisk, short rinse.

Sounds as if you have a problem with your hot water heater. Assuming your family didn’t use up all the hot water by taking their own long showers or baths before you got in the tub, then you likely have a problem with your hot water heater.

Among the problems that could be causing the lack of hot water, according to homereference.net: A leak – the tank could be leaking or it might simply be a valve or pipe. Sediment buildup that “absorbs heat from the water, making it more difficult for the heating elements to do their job and shortening their life spans.” A bad thermostat. A blown fuse, tripped breaker, or short in the system. Or, if you have a gas water heater, your pilot light might be out.

If it’s a matter of a blown fuse, tripped breaker, or pilot light that’s flickered out, then you can likely fix the issue yourself. If not, and it’s something more complex, your best bet is to call a hot water heater expert like the water heater pros at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.
