Takes a long time to get cold water. Then it is still luke warm. New house. Unhook it, and you get plenty of cold water. Takes forever to get hot.

Open water heater drain valve or TP valve to see if unit is producing hot water.
Protect yourself from scalding water.

If water heater is not working, then call service technician, or re-post question on fixya with type of water heater, description of water heater and brand, and what you have done so far to repair problem.

If water heater is working, then you probably have crossover problem at recirculation system check-valve or at single-handle faucet. Or both.
Remove check valve and clean with white vinegar; replace defective single-handle faucet cartridge.

I have main combi 24 if you run water slow it is hot but if you turn it up it is luke warm water

see pic;

Notice the red in the 1st picture? That is all hot water. When you have a broken dip tube the cold water is 3/4 of the water heater.

So like in your case, if you run water slower you may get hotter water longer, but if you run at faster rate, hot water short time and then cold.

Check & if needed replace the dip tube. Easy fix

Just bought a new home and have a reliance heater. Some times the water is luke warm and some time it is like a boiler pipe. what should I look for or test

sounds like you have the heater set on its highest setting and its tripping the thermal protector. If that trips the water inside has to cool way down before it resets itself. Try setting the temp lower.
One more thing this time of year the water comming into the home is a lot colder this time of year and that makes the heater work harder and takes longer to heat the water. 40 degree water takes longer to heat than 65 degree water in the summer. This also means that it dont take much water cool the water in the water heater faster to luke warn.
If this is new home with a new water hater you might think about going tankless,then you have endless hot water and save money at the same time.

I have abosch 1600 ps aquastar 4.3 gpm indoor when i turn hot water on it all fires up but no hot water comes out only luke warm water why

Water heater is heating water but only luke warm water arrives at faucet.
Open TP valve and confirm that hot water is available.
If water at TP valve is hot, then problem might be plumbing-related, for example crossover.

My oil fired hot water heater provides only sporadic hot water. For example, when I am home alone it takes 2 minutes to get luke warm water in the shower, then it is only warm for a few minutes, then...

It sounds like your thermostat on the water heater isn't working properly. try turning it up higher and if this doesn't work I would have a service techy look at it.

50 gallon electric heater not working after about 5 minutes in the shower the water gets cold and the rest of the house i do have 240 going to water heater thermostats goood element good

Some elements will read with a meter good until they heat up.

Hot water then going to ice cold top element is working and bottom bad. Luke warm water and then goes cold bottom element good and top element bad.

Elements and thermostats are not to exspensive to replace.

If you have power only two thing's left are the thermostat's and the elements.

WE HAVE CHANGED THE THERMOSTATS BOTH OF THEM, WE HAVE CHANGED BOTH ELEMENTS AND THE WATER STILL DOENT GET HOT ENOUGH. WE HAVE TURNED UP BOTH THERMOSTATS AND STILL NOT HOT ENOUGH. WHEN YOUR RUNNING THE HOT...

WE THOUGHT WE NEEDED ANOTHER THERMOSTAR, BUT WHEN WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE PART THE EMPLOYEE ASKED WHAT WAS THE TROUBLE. WE EXPLAINED, HE SAID YOU DEFINATLY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR TANK AND ASKED IF WE HAD A SINGLE HANDLED FAUCET WITHIN THE HOUSE. NO WE DONT. HE SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE WATER IS MIXING WITH THE COLD WATER THATS THE REASON FOR THE WARM--COLD--WARM WATER. COME TO FIND OUT SINCE WE ARE REMODLING THE BATHROOM, WE HAD BOTH THE HOT AND COLD WATER TURNED ON IN THE SHOWER--BUT WERE PLUGGED OFF AT THE SHOWER HEAD AND THE FAUCET UNTIL THE TILE IS INSTALLED. SOOO ALL MY HUSBAND HAD TO DO WAS TURN OFF THE WATER IN THE SHOWER. NOW WE HAVE PLENTY OF HOT WATER, NO WARM COLD. YEA!!!

No hot water

if the leak is behind the handle take the handle off and tightn the packing nut, do not over tighten, as far as luke warm water is this with just one facucet on, they way these tankless water heaters work they are by gpm, gallons per min, if you have more gallons of water going thru the unit then it is designed for then it won't get hot, if your water pressure is to high going thru it will push it to fast thru the unit and won't get hot, your house pressure should be no higher then 75lbs no lower then 65lbs

Parkray Cumbria efficiency problem

Some circulation pumps have a 3 phase mixing valve (cold,warm,hot) to regulate the water pressure in the building; no way to know unless you trace the plumbing. Basically, the hot water temperature could be lost because the circ-pump is cooling it with the cold water supplied to it. This is used to balance the pressure (aka Pressure Balancing Circ-Pump), so heater is really working overtime to heat the water. If the pump has two in and one out that's more than likely your problem; but you should consult a "old-school" plumber in your area.
