waiting too long for hot water
When using the ho****er in my Atlanta home it takes about 70 seconds for it
to get hot irrespective of which faucet I'm using in the house. This is inconvenient, and a waste of water. The water heater is new, the temp is high enough, and the water pressure is adequate. Any suggestions on how to 'fix' this? My first thoughts are to insulate the pipes in the crawl space but I'm not sure how much of a difference this will make as I'm thinking it will still take 70 seconds for the water in the pipes to be 'pushed' through before the hot stuff starts flowing. So maybe I'll get lukewarm rather than cold water for 70 seconds but it still won't be hot? Other solutions? W.D. |
