Does My Landlord Have To Fix My Water Heater?

This entry was posted on Friday, March 19th, 2010 at 2:29 pm and is filed under Fix Water Heater


I live in Wisconsin and for the past month there has been a hot water problem. Every morning I go to take a shower the water may start a little warm but then gets cold. Since I pay for rent with the hot water included, does the landlord have to fix any hot water problems right away legally?

Does Anyone Know of an Electric Water Heater That qualifies for the Federal Tax Credit?

This entry was posted on Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 at 4:57 am and is filed under Electric Water Heater

I need to buy a new water heater and it has to be electric. The way I am reading the requirements to be eligible for a tax credit, the electric water heater has to have an Energy Factor of 2.0 or greater. I’m not finding any electric water heaters with an Energy Factor above 0.98 though. Any specific brands and model numbers of a qualifying electric water heater will be greatly appreciated.
I appreciate the answers. Thanks for your help.

How Do I Fix My Water Heater?

This entry was posted on Monday, March 22nd, 2010 at 5:29 pm and is filed under Fix Water Heater

My water heater is a brand new heater a handyman installed for me, but it only puts out hot water for a minute then gets cold.  The cold water pipe is warmer than the hot water pipe.  The handy man put the old expansion tank back on.  The temperature for the heater is set around 130 degrees.

how can i tell if i have enough gas for a tankless water heater?

This entry was posted on Saturday, September 4th, 2010 at 12:01 am and is filed under Tankless Water Heater

i have 3/4 inch piping about 40 feet from meter. also on gas are furnace and dryer. neither of which are used that often. Currently i have a 50 gallon tank water heater but want to go to tankless because it does not give me enough hot water for my japanese soaking tub.

would these things affect an appraisal?

This entry was posted on Saturday, September 4th, 2010 at 12:01 am and is filed under Tankless Water Heater

we purchased a foreclosure sept 30 2008. back then it appraised for 180K (i believe, we bought it for 160K so i know it was just a little more than that price).

since then we’ve ripped out all of the stained carpets and installed hardwood floors, we removed about 6 dead large trees from the yard, expanded the kitchen into a formally unusable space adding 9 cabinets, under cabinet lighting and about 80" of countertop space (its spread over 3 areas tho, not one large one), redid the kitchen of course with tile and new countertops, new applicanes adding a dishwasher, disposal and washer/dryer as well as a "slop sink", we’ve also fenched off the back yard, and got a completely new roof which included gutters (we didnt have them, or flashing before)…

we want to install a tankless water-heater which will allow us to expand one bathroom, and we want to expand a second bathroom as well (both would be getting slate tile, new vanities, new showers/tub and one would be getting a new toilet – the other was replaced about 2 months ago due to the fact the old one fell over while my husband was sitting on it!) but we kind of need some funds for those since they are going to need to be completely gutted but we’re thinking 10K would cover both bathrooms since we would do all the work ourselves (husband is very handy and an electrician). i mean the kitchen only cost about K total and that was with the appliances and new cabinets, we installed everything and did the tiling ourselves, heck my husband had to run new power for the disposal, washer/dryer, stove and he had to run water for the washer too

but would what we have done so far up the appraisal do you think? we wouldnt be doing anything until spring so its not like i’m going to run out and get it done soon, just asking
oh yeah we’ve also installed an attic fan, recessed lighting in the living room and pendent lighting in the dining area (formally only had floor lamps)

    can I refill my water heater?

    This entry was posted on Friday, September 3rd, 2010 at 1:42 pm and is filed under Leaking Water Heater Top

    I got some good advice the other day, but need more. If my prv blew on my water heater can I refill it safely? It completely emptied and a lot of sediment came out, then it ran clear. I shut off the gas and the water supply, but it seems to leak by and a little water keeps draining. It is now clear. What I want to know is do I need to hire a plumber and replace the prv or can I safely close it up and turn the water and heater back on. Or do I have to buy a new water heater. I have been heating water on the stove since last Friday. It’s now Tuesday. I shower at the gym, but I would really like to use it and not spend the money for a new one. Thanks so much.
