Benefits of a Warm Shower (And Why Everyone Deserves a Working Water Heater)

While it may be true that a cold shower can boost immunity and maybe even your metabolism, it doesn’t make getting ready for work any easier! The last thing you need in the morning is to waddle around your home in multiple layers of clothing like an Arctic explorer venturing across the tundra as you mentally prepare for your morning meetings. (At that temperature, who knows if you’ll have the patience to sit through your boss’s small talk).

Everybody’s always talking about the benefits of taking a cold shower. Still, warm showers also have their own list of amazing benefits, including inflammation relief, relaxation, and spontaneously bursting into song out of pure joy because you’re not freezing cold.

At Pomona Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, we believe you deserve to choose whether or not to douse yourself with freezing cold water in the morning, and not have it forced upon you by a rickety, old water heater.

The Real Problem with Cold Showers

Not only is a functional water heater essential for cooking, cleaning, and bathing, but the absence of hot water can seriously mess up your morning mojo. Your morning routine should be familiar and relaxing, something to get you mentally ready for your day, like a warm-up lap before the big sprint. It shouldn’t be the psychological equivalent of a drill sergeant crouched next to your cot shouting “GO, GO, GO,” along with some other choice words better left unmentioned here to get you out of bed. Unless you’re the sort of individual who swallows raw egg yolks for breakfast and rubs dirt in your wounds, that’s kind of how an unexpectedly cold shower feels, like someone shouting at you to get up!

Unfortunately, not everybody gets to choose how hot their shower is. A number of circumstances might force someone to take a freezing cold shower despite their preference for something warmer and more relaxing. 

For example, you might be tired of dancing around the bathroom with one hand in the shower as you pray that it warms up soon so you’re not late for your morning meeting again. Or you might have started your shower right in a warm cloud of steamy, soapy goodness only to receive a rude awakening when the water temp suddenly plummeted to near freezing! OR maybe you’ve become so accustomed to cold showers that you’ve started questioning whether hot water actually exists or if it’s just an urban legend, like Sasquatch or the Easter Bunny.

Start Your Day Right with a Nice, Hot Shower

Slow or ineffective water heating is typically the result of years of wear and tear and too few service visits. Calcification, faulty valves, leaks, broken dip tubes, and pilot light issues are just some of the reasons that your heater might not be up to snuff. Luckily, there’s a solution! 

Pomona Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning repairs and replaces broken water heaters so you can enjoy a hot shower without the wait. Water heaters must be replaced every 8 to 12 years and maintained annually. Yearly maintenance activities include, but are not limited to descaling, inspecting the temperature, and checking the pressure relief valve.

Don’t simply push your broken water heater to the bottom of your growing list of home repairs (the fridge can wait, darn it)! Take back your morning routine with a hot, refreshing shower that won’t take centuries to warm up or suddenly turn cold, leaving you feeling like there’s an icy Nor’easter brewing in your bathroom. Regardless of whether or not your three-year-old decides to throw a tantrum if they don’t get Pop Tarts for breakfast, your dog has an accident on your brand new rug, or your boss texts you asking if you can be at your 9 o’clock meeting half an hour early, there’s one part of your morning you should be able to count on!
