Do you know how to shut off your water heater?
Many people don’t. They call in a panic asking how and I tell them how to do it.
I’ll tell you too.
- Locate the valve on top the water heater
- It will be a round handle that you would turn clockwise as you view it from the top.
- It could be a lever handle that turns 90 degrees off.
Once you’ve turned it off, try opening up a hot water faucet to see if, in fact, it’s off.
If the water is off:
- For a gas water heater, turn off the gas.
- For an electric water heater go to your breaker box and turn off the circuit.
Then give Gary’s Quality Plumbing a call and we will either repair or replace it with a dependable, energy efficient Bradford White water heater.
