I had a new GE hot water heater installed going on 4 weeks now. I have had 9 plumbers out to the house to try and fine the problem with NO luck. I have cold water pressure, but very little hot pressure. PLease please HELP!!

First we need to move you over to the plumbing site so our guys can take a shot. I'm am not hopeful though since you say 9 plumbers on site have not been able to fix the issue. Who installed the haeter and was it OK for awhile. If so how long?

I am sorry if it seemed like 9 plumbers on the site had given me wrong information. I bought the heater at Home Depot, and they have sent out their contracted plumbers multiple times.
I had great pressure before my old heater went bad. I still have cold pressure, just no hot pressure.
Thanks

Hoovert:

The heater needs to be disconnected at the nipples into the heater and then the cold water feed needs to be checked to see if it is working properly. If cold water shutoff works fine, then need to investigate at the heater's cold water inlet (check out dip tube, too) and the outlet (hot water nipple) of the hot water heater. If nipple is heat trapped, remove it and replace with a new nipple (has a flap over end of nipple).

I have assumed that you checked all other obvious stuff (other shutoffs, etc.)

Shut off water, shut down gas/electric, drain some water from heater and have this stuff checked. There is not really anything else it can be.

Let us know thoughts... Mark

I have a much better idea. Call HD and tell them to fix this one right now or send out a new one. We are happy to help DIyers here at AMHD but bad installations, especially from the "pros" simply should not be tolerated. Is this in all hot faucets or just one?
