Because, somewhere in your hot, the hot line of your electrical system has come in contact with the metal pipes of your water system. This can be very dangerous, as you probably already know how electricity and water work together, but it's likely to be expensive too, as you're spending current on the water pipes. I'd call an electrician real fast.
Hot water is dripping from the faucet because the water heater is set at a high temperature, causing the water in the pipes to be hot and drip out when the faucet is turned on.
Hot water is typically on the left side of the faucet.
The left side of a faucet typically produces hot water.
The left side of the faucet typically dispenses hot water.
Hot water may be leaking from the faucet due to a worn-out or damaged washer or seal in the faucet's internal mechanism, causing a faulty seal and allowing hot water to escape.
In cold weather, hot water may not come out of the faucet because the pipes leading to the faucet can freeze, causing a blockage and preventing the hot water from flowing.
A hot water heater is designed to supply hot water to faucets, not cold water. It is not possible for a hot water heater to siphon into a cold water faucet. Each faucet is connected to either the hot or cold water supply lines, which are separate in a plumbing system.
No hot water may be coming out of the faucet due to a problem with the water heater, such as a malfunctioning heating element or a lack of sufficient hot water in the tank.
Turn the faucet handle to the left to get hot water.
Cold water may be coming out of the hot water faucet due to a malfunction in the water heater, such as a broken heating element or a faulty thermostat. This can cause the water in the tank to not be heated properly, resulting in cold water coming out of the hot water faucet.
The hot water faucet is typically located on the left side of the sink.
That's just how long it takes to get the water that is sitting in the pipe out. Unless you have a circulating pump on the line so that there is always hot water at the faucet, it always takes a bit of time for the water to get hot. The hot water is in the tank, not the pipe connecting it to the faucet. There is nothing in the pipe to keep the water hot.
