Do electric water heaters have pilot lights?
No, electric water heaters do not need a pilot light. The heating element is heated by an electric current (similar to the 'eye' on an electric stove or the heaters in a toaster). When the circuit is completed, electric current flows through the element, and it gets hot, and when the electricity is turned off, the element starts cooling. In a gas water heater, the pilot light is a flame, which is always burning. When it's time to heat up the water, the main gas valve is opened, and the pilot light ignites the gas, so that the main burner heats up.

Gravity works against hot water heaters. Generally they are on the main level of the house. The hot water has to flow upward to reach upstairs bath fixtures.

However, some home advice experts recommend a second water heater. By adding an upstairs water heater, home owners decrease water and power usuage. They don't use as much water because it is warm on the spot.

Check with your manufacturer. My (ancient) mobile home has a small metal placard affixed on the outside that says "water intake", which is where it is located (under the home).
