Why is there no hot water in my home?

Losing hot water can be frustrating and inconvenient. The cause often depends on the type of water heater you have—gas or electric.

For gas water heaters, the most common issues include a pilot light that has gone out, a faulty thermocouple, or a problem with the gas supply. Check if the pilot light is lit. If it's out, relight it according to the manufacturer's instructions or call a professional for assistance.

Electric heaters might lose power due to a tripped breaker or a failed heating element. Check your breaker box and reset if needed. If there's still no hot water, a faulty thermostat or heating element might be to blame.

Sediment buildup in the tank can also reduce heating efficiency and eventually cause failure. Regular flushing of the tank can help maintain performance.

If these checks don't solve the problem, it’s best to call a water heater specialist like our expert team at Blue Mountain Plumbing and HVAC.  We can quickly diagnose and resolve the issue to restore your hot water.
