Can a bad element in a water heater cause absurdly high electric bills?

Bad elements consume no power. A malfunctioning water heater could cause high utility bills if it is heating for long periods because the thermostat has failed and does not switch off the current when the set temperature has been reached. You should see some signs of this as in very hot water!


Can the water pump cause problems with heating and cooling in Taurus 96?

Yes(!) the water pump can cause problems with heating and cooling.A failing water pump is not able to properly move engine coolant - making it hard for the heater to produce warm air in the cabin.For example, you may find the heater works better when the engine is turning faster like while driving (versus just idling) - this could be a water pump with worn or a broken impeller.See "Related Questions" below for more about Taurus/Sable heating system problems


What would cause your shower to not get as hot as it used to and not stay as hot when other bathroom and kitchen faucets are fine?

The only thing that could cause this is outside air has leaked into the house and is cooling off the pipes. If the water heater is producing the temp that is set on the thermostat, then it will come out the same temp everywhere, unless you just think the faucets are getting hotter. If your water heater is electric, the elements could be getting bad or dirty from hard water,which will cause inefficient heating. But besides this,only cold air could cause the pipes to cool.

Why are the radiators warm but water is cold in a central heating system?

Central heating systems usually heat on a different system from the hot water heater, unless the main heater is a combination furnace/hot water heater. If this is the case, it could be because the outflow of hot water is greater than the ability of the furnace to heat the water.
