Why Isn’t My Water Heater Working?

If your water heater has stopped functioning, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take before calling in our certified professionals. For electric water heaters, always turn off the power at the circuit breaker before attempting any checks.

Here are some actions you can try:

Assess Hot Water Usage

Ensure your household’s hot water demands are within your water heater’s capacity. Overuse may require upgrading to a larger or more efficient system, especially if your current unit is aging.

 Sediment buildup can reduce efficiency. Regular flushing, as part of seasonal maintenance, keeps your system performing at its best.

Verify that the thermostat is set between 110 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal operation.

Tighten the mounting bolts for the heating element if necessary, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage.

Peter was an absolute lifesaver. My A/C decided it had officially had enough around midnight during one of the hottest days of the year, with a heat advisory and temperatures reaching around 115° with the heat index. By the next morning, parts of my house had climbed into the 90-95° range, so I was incredibly relieved when a colleague recommended Peter. He was able to fit me in the very same day and gave me a 4:00-7:00 PM arrival window. Around 2:00 PM, he even called to touch base, gather a little more information about what was happening, and let me know we were still on schedule. That level of communication alone was greatly appreciated. Peter arrived around 5:30 PM and was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. I showed him how the outdoor unit would fail to start when I flipped the breaker back on, ending with a large spark from the lower portion of the unit. Rather than simply replacing parts, he took the time to explain exactly what he found, showed me the failed component, and walked me through his diagnosis so I understood what had happened. Before performing any work, he clearly explained the cost of both the replacement blower motor and the installation. Fortunately, he already had the correct blower motor stocked in his truck, which meant there was no waiting on parts. Within about an hour to an hour and a half, everything was repaired and my vents were blowing cold air again. It’s hard to overstate how grateful I was. During a brutal heat wave, same-day service like this is worth its weight in gold. Peter’s professionalism, honesty, communication, and efficiency made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for an HVAC technician they can trust.

I highly recommend Peter and his team at Elite Degrees Cooling for any heating and cooling needs in the tri-county area. I am a senior homeowner who purchased a new furnace in 2022 through an Oakland County–sponsored program. Unfortunately, the furnace has been a nightmare from the start, breaking down repeatedly year after year. On January 20, 2026, during 20-degree weather, the furnace failed for the fifth time this year, leaving me without heat for 13 days. The original contractor and subcontractor did not respond. I contacted Condor directly and received a call back from Peter at Elite Degrees Cooling. He was blindsided by the situation but stepped in immediately and went above and beyond to help. Peter made two service visits, accurately diagnosed the issue, and replaced both the motherboard and the motor (for the fourth time). Peter was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and respectful throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything and treated me with dignity during a very stressful situation. After years of ongoing problems, Peter was the first person who truly made a difference. If you want honest, skilled, and compassionate service, I highly recommend Peter and Elite Degrees Cooling. — Ki H.

I’m super impressed with this company despite not having any work completed at my home yet. My friend’s AC stopped working the other day when it was blazing hot outside. She called a different company and was told she would hear back from them the next day. Per my friend’s medical situation, it was important to get this fixed ASAP. I did some research online and came across this company and its impressive reviews. I called and talked to Peter and explained the situation. He agreed to extend his work day, which I can only imagine had been extra long already, to go to my friend’s house right away. Her air conditioner was fixed in record time and she was charged a fair price for the repair. I know who I’ll be calling the next time I have any HVAC issues! Thank you, Peter. Looking forward to meeting you when the time comes. 😄

No AC in heat spell. Peter was very courteous and professional. Elite heating and cooling was able to come fix my air conditioner on the day it stopped working. Amazing since every company I called could not come out until Monday. Today is Thursday. Thank you Elite and thanks a whole bunch Peter

Ask for Frank A!!!! He came out to check my air conditioning and was fantastic from start to finish. He was on time, professional, and clearly explained what was going on and what he was doing to fix it. He worked efficiently, respected my home, and made sure everything was running properly before he left. I feel a lot safer going into this hot week thanks to him. Highly recommend Frank A and this company. - Melissa
