A homeowner in New Orleans contacted MK Electric Man with an urgent issue: their water heater was not producing hot water, disrupting daily activities like showering and dishwashing.

The lack of hot water suggested an electrical problem, as the water heater relied on a dedicated circuit for power.

The client needed an experienced electrician in New Orleans, LA, to diagnose the issue and restore hot water quickly.

Our team arrived promptly to troubleshoot, suspecting a fault in the dedicated circuit or the water heater’s electrical connections.

Initial observations indicated that the issue could involve the circuit breaker or wiring, given the high power demands of a water heater.

The challenge was to identify the precise cause of the failure, repair any damaged components, and ensure the system was safe and compliant with electrical codes.

Our goal was to restore hot water efficiently, addressing all electrical issues to prevent future disruptions.

Our approach involved a systematic troubleshooting process to pinpoint and resolve the electrical faults.

We began by testing the dedicated circuit to the water heater, focusing on the 2-pole, 30-amp circuit breaker in the panel.

Voltage testing revealed that the breaker was faulty, with burned connections causing it to fail in delivering power to the water heater.

Burned connections often result from loose or improperly installed wiring, leading to overheating and component damage.

We removed the faulty breaker and repaired the burned connections, making new, clean copper connections to ensure reliable power delivery.

We then installed a new 2-pole, 240-volt, 30-amp circuit breaker, securely connecting it to the panel to restore proper circuit protection.

Next, we inspected the water heater’s electrical connections, finding that they were not properly installed, causing damage to the wiring.

Improper connections can lead to arcing, overheating, and further electrical failures, posing safety risks.

To address this, we redid the connections at the water heater junction box, installing a proper 3/4-inch flex connector to secure the wiring and protect it from strain.

We made new, clean copper connections using wire connectors, ensuring stable and safe power delivery to the water heater.

After completing the repairs, we tested the circuit and water heater, confirming that power was restored and the unit was heating water effectively.

The new breaker and connections operated flawlessly, with no signs of overheating or instability.

A final inspection verified that all components were secure, properly installed, and compliant with New Orleans electrical codes, ensuring long-term safety and reliability.

The homeowner was thrilled to have hot water restored and a safer electrical system in place.
