Hot water that works one moment and not the next is frustrating, and the pattern is often the best clue to the cause.
Intermittent hot water: track the pattern
- 1Is it every faucet, or only one? One fixture suggests a valve or mixing problem at that fixture.
- 2Does it happen at certain times, like after several showers?
- 3For tankless units, note whether it happens at low flow.
- 4Note any error codes or noises from the heater.
If you smell gas, see sparks or face immediate danger, leave the home and call 911 or your utility from outside.
Questions
Only my shower goes cold. Is it the heater?
If other fixtures stay hot, the shower valve may be the issue. Mention that on the call.
My tankless goes cold mid-shower. Why?
Possible causes range from flow rate to the unit needing service. Note any error code on the display.
Is it safe to reset my heater?
Following the manufacturer's label is fine, but don't open gas or electrical panels. If resets don't hold, call.
