Hello, my name is Jacob. I would like to talk about proper installation and repair of the HVAC system in your commercial building. Full scale HVAC systems for commercial buildings require ongoing maintenance and repairs to keep every floor and room at a comfortable temperature. These temperature control systems also control the air quality in the building by sending the airflow through filter elements. My site will cover all aspects of the upkeep needed for these systems. I will also talk about the benefits of keeping your air quality and temperatures at desirable levels. Thanks for coming to visit my website.

Why Does Your Electric Water Heater Keep Resetting?
Isaiah Chapman
If your electric water heater resets every single day, you might think it's time to purchase a new appliance. Before you replace your water heater, have an HVAC contractor check the appliance's heating elements first. If the heating elements are bad, they can make the water inside the appliance extremely hot. As a safety precaution, your appliance's high limit switch will automatically enter reset mode. Learn more about your water heater's elements and how it can affect your appliance's water.
What's a Heating Element?
Like many other types of electric appliances, electric hot water heaters rely on one or two special elements to heat them. Water heater elements are unique rods that work with thermostats to heat your home's bath, shower, laundry, and sink water. Thermostats tell the heating elements when to come on and when to turn off. If a heating element deteriorates, breaks down, or rusts, it can stop functioning properly and make your home's water too hot.
In order to keep excessively hot water from scalding or harming you, a small device called a high limit switch shuts down and resets your water heater. The limit switch usually sits near the appliance's thermostats. Generally, you can press the red reset button on the device to make the water heater come back on. But if the heating elements are bad, the high limit switch will continue to reset the appliance until you replace the elements.
How Do Your Replace the Heating Elements?
Although you can test and replace the heating elements yourself, it's more effective and safer to have an HVAC contractor do it for you. If you don't use the right safety precautions during the replacement, you can injure yourself or someone else. Even if you cut electrical power to your water heater, it can still have live currents flowing through it.
In addition, your water heater may have other problems to consider, such as a damaged or leaking tank. Your water heater could eventually fail if these problems aren't addressed right away. A specialist can inspect and fix any issues they find during the inspection.
You can keep your hot water heater's elements in good working order by having a contractor test them regularly. You may also want to have a contractor clean out your water heater during the visits. Sediments and other debris can settle on the elements and prevent them from functioning correctly. The elements may cause the appliance to reset itself when you need it the most.
