Water Isn’t Hot Enough Montgomery TX

Are you unsatisfied with the temperature of your home’s water? Tired of taking cold showers? Or running out of hot water before you are done washing the dishes? There are a few reasons why the water coming from your shower or faucets is not warm enough for you.

The first and easiest to fix issue could be as simple as adjusting the temperature dial located on your water heater. It is recommended by most people to keep your water heater adjusted to 120 degrees. Anything less than this is probably too low for a pleasant shower. After you adjust the dial, wait a few minutes for the water to raise to temperature and then check the temperature of the water coming out of your faucet. If this does not do the trick, there are a few other reasons why you may be experiencing issues with your hot water.

Often times, when people complain about their water not getting hot enough it is because the water heater they have in not an adequate size for their home or needs. A water heater with an undersized tank is not capable of distributing the amount of hot water you need throughout your entire home. If your water starts off hot enough but quickly runs out, explore the option of getting a tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters provide an endless stream of hot water to your home and are quicker.

Another potential cause to your hot water issues could be a leak in your water heater. Thoroughly explore the space around your tank to see if there is a leak. If the water in your tank is spilling out, this will take directly out of your hot water supply. In addition to this causing issues with you getting enough hot water, this can also lead to very expensive damages to your home.

If you have never had your hot water heater serviced, this could be the problem. Some hot water heaters just need to be properly flushed out. This is because there are minerals in our water, when the water sits in the tank the minerals in it have the potential to build up over time. This can negatively impact your water heater’s ability to properly function.
