Common No Hot Water Scenarios
Check the Pilot Light
For gas water heaters: look through the viewing window. If the pilot is out, follow the relighting instructions on the unit. If it won't stay lit, the thermocouple may need replacing.
Check the Breaker
For electric water heaters: check if the breaker tripped. Reset it once. If it trips again, there's an electrical issue — call a plumber.
Check for Leaks
Look around the base of the water heater for pooling water. A leaking tank is urgent and may need replacement.
Wait 30 Minutes
If the water heater was recently turned off or the pilot went out, it takes 30-60 minutes to reheat. If hot water doesn't return, call a pro.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have no hot water?
Common causes: tripped breaker or blown fuse (electric), pilot light out (gas), failed thermostat, broken heating element, sediment buildup, or a leaking tank. Age is also a factor — water heaters last 8-12 years.
Is no hot water an emergency?
It's urgent but not dangerous (unlike a gas leak). In Exeter during cold months, no hot water is more urgent — frozen pipe risk increases. Most water heater pros in Rockingham County offer same-day repair.
How much does it cost to fix no hot water in Exeter?
Common fixes: thermostat replacement $100-$200, heating element $150-$300, thermocouple $100-$200. If the tank itself is leaking, replacement runs $1,200-$3,500 depending on type and size.
How long does water heater repair take?
Most water heater repairs in Exeter take 1-2 hours. Element or thermostat replacement is quick. Full water heater replacement takes 2-4 hours for a tank unit, 4-8 hours for tankless conversion.
