It is essential to have hot water running throughout a property. Hot water has a variety of uses from cleaning your house to cleaning yourself.
The heat in hot water helps to break through food debris on plates and cutlery, making washing up less time consuming and requiring less effort. It is also essential to have hot water when washing up as the temperature has a synergistic effect with the antibacterial properties of washing soap, helping to keep your plates and cutlery clean and hygienic.
Hot water is also essential, in much the same way, when taking a shower. While the hot water can relax and soothe you; it also helps to open your skin pores and remove dirt and other debris.
When your water heater fails, you can lose all of these privileges, meaning that it is harder to clean your dishes and much less pleasant to shower.

A water heater can typically run off two different types of energy. These are electric and gas.
The way to determine whether your water heater is gas or electric is to look for a flue. A flue needs to be present on a gas heater as the fumes given off during combustion can be toxic if inhaled. These are exhausted outside of the property. An electric heater will not have a flue as no gases are being combusted within. Instead, an electric heater needs to be connected to an electrical hook-up and circuit breaker due to the electrical heat elements inside.
Some issues with a water heater can be repaired without needing a service technician. If you find that your water is not as hot as it usually is, or there is no hot water, one of the first things we recommend you check is the temperature dial on the heater. This dial may be set at a lower temperature than usual, meaning that the heater is not turning on to heat the water you need.
If this makes no difference, it could be that the dip tube that supplies cold water to be heated in the tank is broken. A broken dip tube can result in cold water mixing with the hot water at the top of the tank and resulting in lukewarm temperatures.
This is just one of many problems that can arise over time with a water heater. At Bobby Blue Plumbing, our service technicians have the expertise and know-how to perform a hot water heater repair. They can replace a broken dip tube in a water heater, amongst performing other fixes to ensure hot water provision in your property.
