If so, the problem has nothing to do with the water heater and instead may be a problem with the plumbing in the shower. In particular, many places now have anti-scalding mixing valves, which are an important safety feature but if they fail (and fail "safe", which is actually a good thing) the result can be cold water coming out. | |

| Jan 19, 2023 at 12:13 | comment | added | FreeMan | In servicing the furnace, they may have changed a setting on a gas valve somewhere that's impacting the water heater's ability to provide heat. However, as you've written this, it isn't really a question, (take the tour - this is a Question & Answer board), but an invitation for discussion (which this site is definitely not for). Please edit to ask an explicit question that we can provide an actual answer for. | |
| Jan 19, 2023 at 10:12 | comment | added | George Anderson | One solution might be to turn up the set point on the WH and have a plumber add a mixing valve to ensure the hot water delivered isn't dangerous ......DK why this problem appeared, but this is a possible fix. | |
