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

Resetting the button won’t fix no-heat if the root issue remains. Likely causes include a failed heating element or igniter, a bad thermostat, a tripped breaker, sediment buildup, or a leak. CM Heating offers diagnostics, repair, or replacement for both tank and tankless units, with 24-hour emergency service and financing options.

Quick checks:

• Verify the breaker is on.
• Confirm gas supply or power to the unit.
• Look for leaks or corrosion around the tank.
• Note age; many units last about 8–12 years.
