Water Heater Not Heating Up?

Resetting usually doesn’t fix the root problem. If water stays cold, likely causes include a failed heating element or thermostat (electric), a bad igniter, pilot, or gas supply issue (gas), a tripped breaker, heavy sediment, or a leaking tank. Spot On Plumbing services tank and tankless units and can diagnose with leak detection and same-day repairs in Tulsa and Broken Arrow.

Quick checks:

  • Verify the breaker is on.
  • Confirm the gas valve is open.
  • Inspect for leaks around the tank.
  • Note any error codes on a tankless unit.
