hot water heater

Hey there 👋 First time poster. Located in Alaska with winter approaching, yet my hot water tank just failed. Purchased this house last year. The electric hot water tank was ~22 years old but operating fine since I'd owned it. The only thing that has changed is that I had a contractor replace...

Hi everyone! We're having issues with our hot water, and I thought I would check in with you all to see if there's anything we could be missing! Our hot water is coming out as lukewarm. Even if we open up the hot water all the way, on any faucet or shower in the house, still just warm. It...

Hi there. We replaced all the faucets and had the hot/cold water valves replaced in our bathroom last week. After turning the water back on, what used to take no time at all for the hot water to come in is now taking upwards of 2min before we feel hot water in the shower and faucets (this...

I'm trying to find out if I need a check valve on my cold water supply line to my water heater. I have a tankless water heater, 2 gal expansion tank, and a separate recirculating pump. I had to replace part of my stack that cracked and noticed a check valve on the cold water supply that feeds...

Hi All! I live in a 3 story townhouse. The first story being ground level (above ground basement). My issue is that even though I have hot water in the tank available it won’t travel to the 2nd & 3rd floors automatically. I have to go to the ground level & turn on the hot water tap in the...

The tank is on a platform so water was there at its highest. Its all down now and the pilot maybe won't light...I can't tell if anything is happening or what point is to the pilot with the one knob. There is power to everything down there and it apparently needs gas which was on (then turned off...

I have a pinhole leak in the cold water supply line to my hot water heater. Not my area of expertise. Apparently it's soldered to the wall connection. Quote from plumber to replace both the cold water supply line as well as the hot water out line, and doing so with the standard threaded...

Hello all, I recently purchased a home and a brand new hot water heater was installed. However, I just noticed the pipe that connects to the cold water is corroded. I don’t know if this is new or old damage. It appears with the new hot water heater install that new parts were used to connect to...

Tankless Hot Water Heater: A lot of development of this product since it came out in the US market. Any general thoughts about tankless vs gas fired hot water heater? Do you think the cost is worth it? Maintenance issues/concerns? Other thoughts? Thank you.

Remodeling a late 1800’s 2 story house in South Central PA. Hot water Peerless Boiler with a Becket Burner. Each room has at least one cast iron radiator with a supply and return line. Every room on 2nd floor was a total gut with removal of cast iron radiator and replaced with baseboard heat...

Redoing plumbing in the house due to mineralized joints and frozen multi-turn valves. Adding in a new water softener, but stuck on best way to provide enough hot water. One issue is basement clearance is 60”, so that knocks out most hybrid heat pump heaters. Fuel available is electric. I...
