Stuck with cold water from your sink? Don’t sweat it—it’s almost never the sink itself. More often, it’s your water heater acting up. Let’s sort it out without the headache.
First, check if your electric water heater’s reset button (usually red) popped out. Flip the breaker off for 30 seconds, then back on. Test the sink again. If that didn’t work, sediment from hard water is likely clogging the tank. It’s why your hot water gets weaker over time. Flushing your heater yearly stops this—just follow the manual or ask us for a simple guide. If your heater’s over 10 years old, the tank might be rusted. Look for spots of rust on the tank—time to replace it.
If basic fixes fail, call us. Signs you need help: no hot water at all, leaks, or banging noises. Our Taunton team handles these fast—no hidden fees, just clear fixes. We’ll check the thermostat (sometimes it’s just set too low), heating elements, or maybe a broken dip tube. For gas heaters, we’ll relight the pilot light or fix a faulty thermocouple. We’ve seen it all in Taunton, where hard water’s a common headache. A quick $100 fix can save you from a $500 repair later. And since we’re local, we know your home’s quirks. Don’t wait for a cold shower—call us, and we’ll get your sink flowing with hot water fast. Plus, we offer affordable maintenance plans to keep your heater running smooth for years. So next time your sink’s cold, start here. If it’s not fixed, we’re just a call away.
