ELECTRIC WATER HEATER REPAIR
When an electric water heater isn’t working properly, the first thing to check is whether it’s getting power. Depending on your comfort level, you may be able to do some or all of the checking yourself.
If a loss of electricity isn’t the problem, the water heater could be full of sediment and lime. This is particularly likely in Westfield, Indiana and its environs, where we have hard water, and electric water heaters are especially prone to the problem.

(If the problem hasn’t gotten bad, with thick sediment buildup, the better solution is sometimes to replace the electric water heater.)
