This can be frustrating especially in winter. There\u2019s nothing better than starting or ending your day with a hot, steaming shower this on a cold winter day. Especially now that we\u2019re experiencing these truly frigid temperatures in the Midwest. It\u2019s not as great when you\u2019re having water heater trouble that makes your water lukewarm throughout your home. You tend to rely on your hot water heater more during these winter months, so more of these small and frustrating inconsistencies arise.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a big water heater problem on your hands and think you need <a href=\"\/service-areas\/plainfield-il-hvac-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">water heater repair in Plainfield, IL<\/a> make sure that you contact our team.

This happens because you\u2019re lacking the proper amount of hot water in your water heater system. When you\u2019re going without hot water, it\u2019s typically because your water heater\u2019s capacity has greatly declined. A number of things can cause this: sediment build-up inside your tank or even a broken dip tube. You need a professional to assess this system and decide if you have enough hot water for your home.<\/p>\n<h3>Discolored Water<\/h3>\n<p>Notice that some of the water pouring out of your faucets has an odd hue to it? It\u2019s more than likely due to a sediment or mineral build-up inside the water heater. This is a common cause of several water heater problems. If you have a tank water heater system in your home, it\u2019s important to have this water heater system \u201cflushed\u201d so that any sediment sitting at the bottom of your tank doesn\u2019t circulate through the water supply in your home.<\/p>\n<h3>Low Water Pressure<\/h3>\n<p>Is every water source in your home emitting a frustrating trickle? When you get in the shower and turn the water on or wash your hands, you want a strong and steady stream of water, not a little trickle. Poor water pressure means that you either have build-up in your pipes or in your actual tank. In either scenario, the build-up is blocking the water flow into and out of the hot water heater and you\u2019re not receiving the full quality of your hot water.<\/p>\n<h2>Call Johansen &amp; Anderson Today<\/h2>\n<p>If there are two things you don\u2019t want to go without this winter it\u2019s your heater and your hot water\u2014the temperatures are just too cold to take lukewarm showers.
