If you have an electric water heater and you are not getting any hot water, it’s possible that your breaker may have tripped or the water heater has a faulty thermostat. It’s a good idea to check your breaker box to see if the water heater breaker has tripped. If the breaker is in place most often a water heater part has failed.
Key Takeaways:
- Assuming that no one else has been hogging the hot water all day, the problem probably lies within your water heater.
- A sudden cold snap in your area can impact the effectiveness of your gas- or electric-powered water heater, even causing it to conk out.
- A current can go awry as a result of a power surge from an electrical storm. Try turning your electric unit off for a couple of minutes and then switch it back on.
