Many people use electric hot water heater in San Francisco in their homes. However when you use an electric water heater there are problems abound and there are solutions for them too. The common assumption when people install a hot water heater is that it will work properly before the problems develop. However it is important to understand how the hot water heaters works before some of the problems develop.  

A hot water heater has two thermostats and on is installed at the top of the tank and the other at the bottom of the tanker. Every time the water gets heated in the heater it causes calcium carbonate in the precipitated form and collects at the bottom of the tank. This also causes a lot of sediment at the bottom of the tank and the water you get may be a mixture of the sediment. However in some areas there is absolutely no sediment and the water remains the same. Basically the building up of sediment depends on the kind of water you get in your area of residence. The only way to prevent sediment is to prevent it from building up and you can do that by using up all the hot water in the tank. This way you can also make the water heater last longer and in good condition.

A common problem noticed with hot water heaters that they do not produce enough hot water. This could be caused by several reasons like a broken tube on the inside of the heater. If there is a broken tube then the hot water might be leaking out of the tube back into the tank and this way you would also notice a decrease in the water pressure. This is actually a very common problem and easy to identify. Not getting enough hot water may also be caused due to the wrong setting of the thermostat. If the thermostat is set for a lesser temperature then it might not produce hot water so it is always better to check the temperature before you call the plumber. One of the reasons that are not identified easily is the building up of heavy sediment in the tank. There are no clear indications for the collection of sediment but it can cause the heater to break down resulting in no hot water. Once you switch on the heater and if the water is absolutely cold then one of the reasons might be sediment. In the case of most heaters the sediment collection can be cleared.  

There are several other things like sometimes you find that the heater makes a lot of noise while heating the water. The noise is created due to the steam bubbles from under the sediment and the sizzling noise may be due to the condensation on the hot burner.  

It is easy to analyze the problems of a hot water heater based on the symptoms. However it is important to understand the likely problems that can be caused due to the heating element in the heater to find remedies for it.
