I figured that when I got the electric to the house turned on that the water heater would automatically start working, but it hasn’t and the water is still cold. It is an electric water heater and I don’t hear it making any noise. I don’t know if it’s supposed to. I never really payed attention to the water heater in other places I’ve lived. I’m not really sure what to do. Isn’t it just supposed to start up when the electric is turned on? What could some possible causes for this be?

We have a traditional electric water heater but with 4 people in the house and all showering in the morning it leaves the last person with luke warm water (2nd shower – teenager). They have come down in price and just wondering what the pros and cons are.

My water heater is draining water nightly. It seems to occur more frequently and is louder than normal. Could it be that it is the summer time and I am not using as much hot water as I would in the winter? It is a gas (not electric) water heater.

I read that the heater does it if the water gets too hot. How can I tell that the reason it is draining is OK or when should I start to worry?

Thanks!

On average, an electric water heater operates for 1.0 h each day. It has a power requirement of 4500 W and a current requirement of 37.5 A when wired to a 240 V household supply.

If the cost of electricity is {content}.25/kWh, what is the cost of operating the heater during a 30-day month?

I’m replacing a discontinued unit direct vent or power vent water heater from Bradford White that was installed by previous owner of my house. I’m trying to get my brain wrapped around why they chose to get a direct/power vent installed since my contractor tells me I can just get an electric water heater and be on my way. Am I missing something?

its got wires twisted onto a bottle and the ends are connected to a beattery-electric water heater.
so it might go like this. the wires coonduct heat from the battery sending it back to the bottol and thus makeing heat???

solar- its has a bottle twisted with wires around and connected to a solar panel.
the solar panel gets energy fro the sun and sends it back to the bottle

is it true that this is a violation of building code? if it is a violation, is there a quick fix to this? i can’t move this tank because i don’t have any more room to place it.
i can’t have tankless heater because tank less can’t supply enough hot water. by the way, this is a 40 gallon electric water heater
Would it comply building code if the water heater is surround by wooden enclosure
