If cool or cold water is coming from your old electric hot water system, the culprit will be either the element or the thermostat.
Calling in a plumber and having your water heater fixed will cost somewhere upwards of $180. Electric hot water systems have a life expectancy of about 10 years, so if yours is seven years old, in economical terms it’s probably not worth fixing, especially if the sacrificial anode has never been changed.
You are better off saving your money and putting it towards the cost of a replacement hot water system. Choosing the best system for you means taking account of a number of factors.
