Do you have to turn off the gas if you turn off the water supply to the house?

YES and No Yes if you are going to be working on the gas water heater and No if you are working on a cold water line and if you are working on a hot water line you can shut off the gas or electric to the water heater so in case your water heater drains but what I usually do is just turn the water heater's water supply valve off.

How to Keep Your Water Heater Clean?

By Andreina Urdaneta A clean water heater will heat and maintain water better and last longer. Once a year, flush your water heater, and in extreme hard water areas, at least twice a year. If you feel up to the challenge, here are some tips to help you in a basic cleaning. 1 Turn the water heater and the cold water supply to the water heater off. 2 Hook a high-quality garden hose to the drain valve, and place the other end in an area where hot water will not cause damage. 5. Open the drain valve. 6. Disconnect the cold water pipe on the top of the water heater. This step will let air into the water heater so it will drain. When the water heater is empty, close the drain. 8. Pour tile cleaner into the cold water, leave for a couple of hours and drain the detergent out of the tank. 10. Reconnect the cold water supply to the water heater. Open the cold water valve and let the water heater flush for a couple minutes. 12. Close the drain valve and open the hot water faucet nearest to the tank, and let the water heater fill. 13. When water starts to come out of that faucet, reopen the drain and let the water heater continue to rinse. After all the air is out of the water heater, turn it back on. Take care of your water heater, and it will take care of you. If you keep ignoring the task, your water heater may just leave you in the cold.

Do i turn on hot or cold so my pipesdontfreeze?

Technically it won't matter as the hot water is made from incoming cold water. However it would be cheaper to turn on the cold water and let it run very slowly, more than a drip. If you leave the hot open, the heater will be turning on and off all night.


Why is the water hot when you turn on the cold water?

Hot water backfeeds from water heater into cold water lines due to expansion of hot water. Usually occurs when a faucet hasn't been opened for awhile, letting hot water backfeed through system.

I would`nt... It serves no purpose. If the water is off there is no pressure when you turn on the tap, hot or cold, so you would be heating water you can`t use.
