Hot Water System FAQ:


I live on the second floor in a private house and whenever I try to take a shower, hot water doesn’t seem to last longer then 10 min. and forget about a bath, I will have to boil water myself! At first, I thought it might be due to the old boiler we have (its about 10 years old) but the hot water seems to be fine on the first floor. Could this mean I have low hot water pressure? Try to think far back when I never had this issue before few years ago.
What can I do to find out what the problem is before hiring a professional or replace the system?
Thanks for the help!
