Why Cold Showers Happen

One moment, you’re enjoying a nice, hot shower, and the next, it's a jolt of icy reality. Why does this happen? There are several possibilities to consider:

  • Old Units: Just like any appliance, water heaters have a life expectancy. The average water heater lasts about 8-12 years. As they age, their efficiency drops, making them less reliable.
  • Sediment Buildup: Over time, minerals from the water, such as calcium and magnesium, collect at the bottom of the tank. This buildup acts as a barrier, making it harder for the burner to heat the water.
  • Broken Thermostat: If your water heater's thermostat is malfunctioning, it can't gauge and adjust the water temperature correctly.
  • Faulty Heating Element: Electric water heaters rely on heating elements to warm the water. If one or both of these elements break down, your water may not heat properly.

Keeping Your System in Top Shape

Regular inspections by professionals can catch and resolve minor issues before they become bigger problems. Having a trained eye look over your water heater can help you spot potential concerns like rust, leakage, or component wear and tear. Ensuring that your water heater operates at optimal efficiency not only provides you with consistent warm water but also helps in saving energy and reducing bills.

Maintenance Tips

Water heaters might seem like sturdy boxes, but they love a little tender loving care. Here's how you can pamper your appliance:

  • Keep Surroundings Clear: Ensure that the area around your water heater is free from flammable objects, clutter, or debris. This ensures proper airflow and reduces any potential fire hazards.
  • Check Pressure Valve: The pressure relief valve is important for safety. Occasionally lifting the valve to ensure it releases a burst of water can help confirm that it’s working properly.
  • Inspect for Leaks: Regularly check for moisture or small puddles around the base of your heater. If spotted, it's time to call in the pros.

Flushing Your Tank

Sediment can often build up in the tank, reducing the efficiency and lifespan of your unit. Flushing the tank annually can help get rid of any unwanted residue.

  • Draining the Tank: Turn off the heater and water supply. Connect a hose to the drain valve and open it, letting the water flow out.
  • Flushing: After draining, turn on the water supply to flush out any remaining sediment in the tank.
  • Refilling: Close the drain valve, turn on the water supply, and let the tank refill.

This process can vary slightly based on whether you have a gas or electric heater, so always refer to your user manual or call a professional if unsure.

Setting the Right Temperature

Setting the perfect temperature for your water heater requires finding the sweet spot between comfort and safety. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends a temperature setting of 120°F to prevent scalding and reduce energy use. While 120°F is safe, you might prefer a slightly higher setting, especially in colder climates. However, ensure it doesn't exceed 140°F to avoid potential burns and higher energy costs.

Our service technician, Chris,  showed up on time was professional and friendly.  I had a leak coming out of the bottom of the wall in the garage.  Chris was able to diagnose the leak quickly and take care of the problem.  He explained every step of the process.  Would highly recommend Speed Plumbing, Inc.

I called High Speed Plumbing when a shower handle broke off, they came within a few hours, replaced it and fixed the other handles like new again.  I would highly recommend them to any family member or friend.  Thanks High Speed Plumbing!

Unfortunately, High Speed plumbing was my 2nd call. The first guy to arrive said the whole toilet... seat and tank needed to be replaced, and it would cost $$$$. I believed it was the flapper valve, so I sent them on their way. Ron,  and his helper Jaime, arrived from High Speed... took a look, told me it's your flapper valve... and it'll cost $$. 10 minutes later they were done and gone. Solid, respectful, and professional!!!

Found a slab leak steaming from my garage near my water heater on a Thursday evening. Chris was on the job by 9:30 am on Friday. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional and took the time to include me in all that was doing. Cesar showed up midway through the job to lend Chris a hand and both gentlemen did FANTASTIC work! I will most definitely be calling them again for any future work I may need! Update: We had a second leak in a different area of the house on Sunday. Made a call and Ron came out to solve that problem efficiently and professionally. Can’t say enough the great work that team does over at High Speed Plumbing. So glad I made that initial call!

Called Juan at night about a gas leak the Gas Co, found that caused the Gas Co to red tag the meter and shut it off. Juan sent Christopher the next morning. He is a great guy with a great attitude and super professional skill. His ethics are high. High Speed I was told is a term used in military(veteran owned and staffed company) that denotes someone who is quick, resourceful and accurate at getting issues dealt with. By that standard Chris is definitely a "high speed" Thank you and may God Bless you and your Company  :-)

Same day service inspection and estimate was provided.  Service was offered same day, but we scheduled it to fit our convenience and they were very accommodating.   New tankless water heater installed and old water tank removed.  Roof venting work performed as well.  No complaints.  Happy to use them in the future.

John, Service Manager was very knowledgeable, professional and a very pleasant gentleman.  He assessed our plumbing issues and recommended that a restoration company come out and access the water damage due to ongoing toilet/piping issue from our upstairs restroom.  It's been running into our kitchen cabinet downstairs.  Luckily, our home insurance guy called while the John was still here.  John was able to give the Adjuster the information needed to have Service Master's come out tonight to assessment the water damage. I'm so grateful that John took the time to explain and show me the issues we were having. . John, you were truly heaven sent.  Your honesty and direction was much appreciated. Thank you.
