Safe checks
No Hot Water? Try These 4 Checks
1. Gas heater: is the pilot lit?
Look through the small window near the bottom. No flame? Follow the relight steps on the label. If it won’t stay lit, the thermocouple or gas valve may be bad.
2. Electric heater: check the breaker
A tripped water heater breaker is common. Reset it once. If it trips again, stop and call.
3. Is the gas on?
If other gas appliances also don’t work, the issue may be the gas supply. Call Southwest Gas.
4. Tankless: read the error code
Write down the code on the display. Scale build-up from hard water is a common cause of shutdowns.

Questions
No Hot Water FAQs
Why do I have no hot water?
Common causes are a pilot or igniter problem on gas units, a burned-out element on electric units, a tripped breaker, or a tank that has failed.
Why is my hot water running out fast?
Usually sediment from hard water filling the bottom of the tank, or one of two electric elements has burned out.
Is no hot water an emergency?
If the tank is leaking, yes. Turn off the power and cold water valve and call. If it is not leaking, it can usually wait for a same-day visit, but we still answer 24/7.
