Reddit says cold showers are good for you. Your chattering jaw and shivering muscles beg to differ. Regardless of whether or not you subscribe to the health benefits of a freezing cold shower, the temperature of the water trickling down your spine should be your choice—not something you hopefully embrace because you have no other option and later justify with a deep dive into online health forums.
Norwalk—La Mirada Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning wants to help you reclaim your mornings with a continuous supply of hot water that’s ready when you are. Hot water is essential for cooking, cleaning, and bathing, and it can also give you the boost you need to start your day right!
The Real Problem with Cold Showers
Online health gurus swear by cold showers, while most people like to wake up to a warm, relaxing soak. But just about everyone can agree that showers are best when the temperature is not a surprise! However, if your water heater is on the fritz, you might not have much of a choice in the matter.
Common water heater issues, like calcification, faulty valves, leaks, broken dip tubes, or problems with the pilot light could result in sudden, unpredictable swings in temperature. This could mean wasting valuable time with one hand under your shower head, praying the water warms up soon so you’re not late for yet another meeting, or getting an icy surprise when your shower goes from steaming hot to colder than December in Calgary. Luckily, these problems can be easily fixed by a trained and certified pro!
On average, water heaters should be replaced every 8 to 12 years and maintained annually. Essential maintenance tasks include descaling, temperature checks, and inspecting the pressure relief valve. If you’ve neglected any of these tasks, call a plumber ASAP before the problem worsens.
