Quick fixes to try first

Only if it's safe. If in doubt, stop and get a pro.

No hot water

  1. Electric: check the breaker. If it trips again, stop.
  2. Gas: make sure the gas valve is on, then follow the label to relight the pilot.
  3. Smell gas? Leave and call your gas utility.

Tank leaking

  1. Close the cold-water valve on top of the heater.
  2. Turn gas to pilot or switch off the breaker.
  3. Move belongings and catch the water.

Hot water runs out fast

  1. Lower demand: space out showers and laundry.
  2. Sediment build-up is common in older tanks.
  3. A pro can flush it or size a new heater.
