When an electric water heater gives lukewarm water, runs out fast, or quits heating entirely, the cause is almost always a burned-out heating element or a failed thermostat. These are inexpensive parts, and replacing them is far cheaper than a new unit. We test the elements and thermostats, confirm which has failed, and swap them safely — restoring full hot water without an unnecessary replacement.
Electric tanks have two elements and two thermostats, which is why the symptoms are so telling: a failed lower element typically leaves you with a small amount of hot water that runs out fast, while a failed upper element or thermostat can mean no hot water at all. Sediment buildup also makes elements work harder and fail sooner, so where we find heavy scale we'll recommend a [flush](/services/water-heater-flush-sediment-removal) to keep the new parts from going the same way. We test everything, replace only what's actually failed, and verify the temperature before we leave.
