What causes a water heater to not heat water?

A water heater that fails to produce hot water may have problems such as:
  • Faulty thermostat: The thermostat controls the water temperature, so a malfunction will prevent heating.
  • Bad heating element: The element is the heating component in electric water heaters. Failure prevents heating.
  • Gas supply issue: For gas water heaters, check the gas supply, pilot light, and burner. A malfunction in this area will prevent water heating.
  • Thermostat issues: A malfunctioning thermostat will prevent heating.
  • Sediment buildup: Excessive sediment at the bottom of a tank water heater can reduce efficiency and prevent sufficient heating.
  • Other electrical or gas-related issues: Several electrical or gas-related problems can prevent the water heater from working correctly.
A qualified plumber should diagnose the problem.

What is a gas water heater pilot light?

A gas water heater typically has a pilot light, a small, constantly burning flame that ignites the main burner when the water heater is turned on. This pilot light is a safety feature of gas water heaters, but if it malfunctions, it can result in the water heater failing to heat water. A qualified plumber should address any pilot light issues.

Water heater replacement costs depend on several factors, including:
  • Type of water heater: Tank, tankless, heat pump; costs vary significantly.
  • Water heater size: Larger capacity water heaters cost more.
  • Brand and features: Higher-end brands and features increase cost.
  • Labor costs: These fluctuate based on location and plumber's rates.
