If you're experiencing hot water tank issues and have questions in Bald Head Island, Carolina Shores, Northwest, Southport, Belville, Caswell Beach, Oak Island, St. James, Boiling Spring Lakes, Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach, Bolivia, Leland, Sandy Creek, Varnamtown, Calabash, Navassa, or Shallotte, Avery & Sons Plumbing + Tankless is available to help. Depending on the type and age of your heater, there are several potential reasons why you may be running out of hot water quickly.
For electric water heaters, the top and bottom elements work together to heat the water. If the lower element has stopped working, only the top portion of the tank will heat the water, leading to quick depletion. Conversely, if the top element isn't functioning, neither element will heat the water, and you won't have any hot water. Additionally, electric water heaters have a reset button that can trip in more severe situations.
For gas hot water tanks, a common reason for quickly running out of hot water is an issue with the dip tube. This tube is responsible for directing cold water to the bottom of the tank to be heated. Over time, the dip tube can become shorter, causing the cold water to mix with the hot water, resulting in lukewarm water.
