Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhy Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?
A reset that doesn’t restore hot water usually points to a failed thermostat. Electric units may have burnt heating elements or a tripped breaker. Gas units may have a bad thermocouple, dirty flame sensor, or a closed gas valve. Heavy sediment can overheat the tank and trip the safety. Tankless models may be undersized or showing an error code. We service all types and provide same-day, free estimates in Roanoke and nearby.
Quick checks:
- Verify the breaker is on (electric).
- Confirm gas is on and the pilot/igniter works (gas).
- Look for error codes (tankless).
- Listen for boiling or popping that suggests sediment.

Shut off power and water, then call for service. For electric units, switch off the breaker. For gas units, turn the gas control to off. Close the cold-water shutoff valve on top of the heater. Do not ignore top leaks; they can damage wiring and fittings. If you smell natural gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, evacuate and call 911. Wisler provides same-day diagnostics, transparent pricing, and 24/7 emergency water heater repair in Roanoke and nearby areas.
