Check your water heater to ensure that the valve in the supply line is open. You can test that the water heater is working by using the relief valve at the top, just beware of the potential for scalding hot water to come out if the heater is operating correctly. If you have a full tank, and all the valves are open around the water heater, it may be time to call a plumber.

If you have a leak on the hot water somewhere in the house and the water input into the tank is not running, the tank will lose it's water. And if it is an electric tank, the elements will burn out. Gas hot water tank should be no problem. Pressure valve does not have to be open.
