Would this be a hot water heating boiler or a water heater? Gas or electric? Doe you hear any noise when it's running? Back to you. Tom

Its an electric hot water boiler [40 gal] recently installed,there is no noise from boiler,just air builds up when its not being used like over night,and there are no leaks in system

I wonder if the dip tube, located under the cold water inlet, wasn't either left off or dropped down in the tank. Is the water as hot as you would like? What temperature is it set at? Regards, Tom
