Why Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?

If the reset button didn’t fix it, common causes are sediment buildup, incorrect temperature settings, or a pilot light that is out. Loose or faulty wires, poor ventilation, or a stuck pressure valve can also stop heating. Our plumbers perform a multi-point check and flush to restore hot water. Because water heaters involve gas lines, heating coils, and pressurized water, repairs should be done by a qualified professional.

Quick checks:

• Verify the pilot light is lit on gas units.
• Confirm the temperature setting.
• Look for leaks, rust, or loose connections.
• Schedule a sediment flush if popping noises persist.
