What is causing a shortage of hot water in my home or business?
There are several common reasons for a shortage of hot water. Two of the reasons we see most frequently are: A burned-out element in the hot water tank A faulty dip tube in your water heater Too much demand on an existing hot water tank, perhaps because of more people living in a home, the addition of a basement suite or rapid of expansion of a business, especially if the business requires hot water. The first two problems can be corrected by testing the hot water tank and replacing it if necessary. The third can be corrected by upgrading the old water tank with a tank sized to meet the increased demand.
