If the hot water tank is off it is possible. It is also possible for the cold water going to the hot water tank to freeze. Insulate all pipes that are exposed - or let them drip (this is more expensive!)

If there is no water coming into the home should the hot water heater be turned off?

You can, but you don't have to. If no hot water is being used it will not come on that often and will just keep reheating the water in the tank. Is there any chance of the water in the tank freezing? That would be a reason to leave it on at least at the lowest setting.

What happens when the cold and hot water pipes are reversed on the hot water tank?

You will get warm instead of hot water. There is a tube inside the tank on the cold side that goes to the bottom of the tank and the hot comes directly from the top. Reverse them and you are going to get the cold water that settles to the bottom of the tank. It will not hurt the tank or anything, it just makes for poor hot water.


How does a hot water tank work?

A hot water tank works by storing and heating water inside an insulated tank using electricity or gas. When a hot water tap is turned on, the hot water is released from the tank and replaced by cold water that is then heated up for future use. This cycle continues to provide a steady supply of hot water for household needs.
