water system

If a house is heated by natural gas and the heating system is a hot water system, how is it possible to have?

heat but no hot water? One of my clients has this system but the water from the tap is not getting hot when I run it, yet his house is warm (it’s cold outside here in Canada). When I told him he had no hot water he touched his heaters and said they were warm.

First off, you must realize that a hot water heating system has nothing to do with the water that you use in your home for bathing , laundry or doing dishes.

The water heating system is comprised of a glycol based water mixture that is heated and circulated through heating coils throughout your home to heat your house.

Your tap water (hot supply) comes from a water heater and is heated either by electricity or natural gas or propane.

If you aren’t getting much or any hot water through your taps, your problem may be minor or it could be time for a new water heater.

If your water heater is heating water but not getting it hot enough, the first thing to do is to check the thermostat located on the lower front side of the water heater. It is usually located right beside the supply line and is probably a red dial. Check to see what the setting is as it may inadvertantly been bumped while cleaning the area which may have turned it down.

If all seems well there, then you may need to replace the thermocoupler if it’s gas fired. That could be failing and getting ready to stop working completely.

Another problem may be the dip tube inside the water heater. Newer water heaters have a plastic dip tube which is the supply line inside the tank. These plastic tubes will eventually break down due to the heat of the water they are positioned in and melt away to basically nothing.

If those aren’t your problems then the final answer would be to replace the water heater completely.

If you live in an area where the water is quite hard or has a lot of sodium in it such as well water of some locations, then the life of a water heater will be shorter then less hardened water.

This is not something an average person should attempt to repair due to having to “break” gasline fittings to replace the water heater. Costs to get a new water heater vary in the area of $500.00 plus the labour to replace the unit.

I work in a home building supply in Canada and the cost to replace the water heater and haul away the old one charged by our contractor is $189.00.

Most home building centers such as Rona, Home Depot and even Canadian Tire have water heaters in stock as well as qualified personel to replace the unit.

My advise is to “bite the bullet” so to speak and have a plumber take a look at it.

Good luck in your venture.
