To heat up a tankful of cold water will take about an hour initially. Once it's hot, the heaters will automatically come on when temperature drops a bit .

A 50 gallon electric water heater that uses 2 elements is normally what voltage?

A 50 gallon electric water heater with 2 elements is typically connected to a 240 volt power supply. Each element is designed to run on 240 volts to efficiently heat the water in the tank.


Why does an electric water heater take more time to heat water in winters?

An electric water heater takes more time to heat water in winter because the incoming water is colder during this season. The heater has to work harder to raise the temperature of the cold water to the desired level, thereby taking longer to heat up the water.


How long should you wait before you have hot water since you reset the water heater and reset the breakers?

As you say you had to reset the circuit breakers, the water heater's heating element may have "died" by shorting to Ground or Earth. This could be the reason why its circuit's breakers tripped to cut off the power. Time to buy a new water heater...? <><><> Typically, you should be able to tell a difference as quick as 15 minutes or so, but it may take well over an hour or two for it to reach "operating temperature". Some electric hot water heaters, you can even hear them as they heat, and you typically can the gas ones. Your biggest variables, assuming you're not using hot water as it heats, is the amount of water that is in the heater, as well as the heating power the heater puts out into the water. Electrics are practically 100% efficient, but gas ones are not even close, but they do operate at higher heater temps and can heat the water faster. <><><> It takes about an hour for a fifty gallon electric water heater to heat up.


How many gallons of heating oil does it take to heat one gallon of water?

That's going to depend on . . . -- the starting temperature of the water -- the target temperature of the water -- how fast you want it to get there -- the efficiency of the heater you use


Why does my gas water heater need to be hooked up to a 30 amp breaker with 220 volts?

A gas water heater doesn't use electricity to heat water like an electric water heater does. The electrical connection is typically for powering the ignition system or other electronic components on the gas water heater. The 30 amp breaker with 220 volts is required to safely supply power to these components.

What is the most efficient electric water heater available on the market?

The most efficient electric water heater available on the market is the heat pump water heater, which uses electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat water, making it more energy-efficient than traditional electric water heaters.


How long does it take for an electric water heater to heat up?

The time it takes for an electric water heater to heat up can vary depending on the size of the tank and the temperature of the incoming water. On average, it can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours for an electric water heater to fully heat up a tank of water.


What are the main home uses for an electric hot water heater?

Electric hot water heater is used to heat cold water for use in winters. Electric hot water heaters heat water faster than the ones which consume fire in order to heat water.


How long does it typically take for an electric water heater to heat up?

An electric water heater typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to heat up a full tank of water.

How long does it take for an electric water heater to heat up and provide hot water?

An electric water heater typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to heat up and provide hot water.


How long does a 40 gallon electric heat water heater at 140 degrees take to heat up after restarting with cold water?

depends on the wattage of the elements along with the temp of the cold water but i would guess an hour or two


How long does it take an 80 gallon electric water heater to heat up?

Anywhere from 6- 35 hours. Lol. No it should take around 2 hours


What are the differences between a heat pump water heater and an electric water heater?

A heat pump water heater uses electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat water, making it more energy efficient than a traditional electric water heater that directly uses electricity to heat water. Heat pump water heaters are more expensive upfront but can save money in the long run due to lower energy costs.
