What to do if my PVI DURAWATT Water Heater has insufficient hot water?

If you're experiencing insufficient hot water, the issue might stem from several causes. Your heater may not be large enough to meet peak demands, in which case you could consider adding a booster or additional kW input. Heat loss from uninsulated hot water lines could also be the culprit, so adding insulation is recommended. Check for blown power fuses and replace them if necessary, determining the cause of the break first. Other potential issues include contactors not closing (check the coil for continuity and replace if defective), thermostats not correctly set (ensure proper thermostat control settings), or elements not heating (check for proper amperage draw and ohm resistance, and replace if defective).
