What To Do When You Have No Hot Water?

Finding yourself without hot water can be more than just inconvenient; it can disrupt your entire day. Merritt Island owners can ask these four questions to troubleshoot common issues before calling in the professionals.

  • Are the Settings Right? If the thermostat is set too low, then your heater simply isn't heating the water enough. Check that it's around 120-140 °F.
  • Is Your Pilot Light OK? Just like a grill, a gas water heater has a pilot light. If it's out, your water isn't heating. Follow the manual to relight.
  • Have You Checked the Circuit Breaker? If your system is electric, then the heater may not be the problem. Check your panel for any tripped breakers.
  • Have You Flushed the Tank Recently? Sediment and debris can build up inside your tank, impacting performance. Your manual will have instructions to flush the system for a reset.
  • Still having trouble? Are you uncomfortable troubleshooting yourself? It's time to call Drain Wizards. The more information you give us, the faster we can work our magic:
  • Do You See Leaks? Let us know if you've found water pooling around your hot water heater.
  • Any Strange Noises? Knocking, banging, gurgling, or hissing can indicate specific problems.
  • How Old is the Unit? Water heaters have an average lifespan of ten years. If your unit is reaching or past that, it may be time for a new one.

No matter the cause, our team is ready to diagnose and solve your hot water issues swiftly, so Merritt Island FL homeowners aren't left in the cold.
