Is Your Electric Water Heater Working Fine? – The Indicators
Now it’s time to address one of the most common queries about an electric water heater: how to know if it is working fine. The first thing you need to check is the condition of the upper and lower elements of your electric water heater. Because, mostly, they are the culprits behind the issue.
However, it is not always the issue. So, you have to check the condition of the main switch and ensure that it is turned on and the electricity is correctly distributed to your electric water heater.

What if Your Heater is Not Enough to Fulfill the Hot Water Demand?
If your household’s hot water demand is high and your electric water Peter isn’t able to fulfil that demand, you will not be able to get hot water.
In that case, you need to replace your old electric water heater with a bigger appliance. However, if you think you already have a bigger appliance, figure out other underlying issues.
Thermostat Settings Issues
Sometimes the problem with the thermostat settings is that they are set to a reasonably low level to conserve energy and money. However, that might be a problem for you because it doesn’t let the water heater heat properly.
So, you need to change the thermostat settings to a higher temperature. And you will see that your water will start getting heated more. But if you still face any trouble with water heating, the chances are that you are using a faulty thermostat. And you need to replace it.
Electrical Heating Element Issues
If you are using a big electric water heater that is enough for your household and still facing issues, the chances are that the electric heating elements are faulty.
