Thermostat and Heating Element Replacement in Portsmouth, VA

An upper thermostat that fails to cycle leaves the top element without power. Melvin's Water Heater Service tests resistance across each element with a multimeter. A typical one thousand watt element draws eight point three amps at one hundred twenty volts. Replacement requires shutting off the breaker and verifying zero voltage. One paragraph covers the reset button location on the thermostat.
New elements receive thread sealant before installation and the thermostat dial is set to one hundred twenty degrees. Call (833) 774-1697.
