Many newer Lorton homes have electric water heaters that keep tripping the breaker because the electrical panel is overloaded. These homes use several high demand appliances that push the panel past its limit. I explain why this happens and how I repair the problem so you no longer lose hot water.

Annandale electric water heaters are short cycling because corroded heating elements and heavy mineral buildup prevent them from heating water evenly. As the elements overheat and fail, the system keeps turning on and off, leaving homeowners with lukewarm water and rising energy bills. I explain the causes, the warning signs, and the best repair and replacement options for Annandale homes.
