Where are shut-off valves?

In every home thee are a number of shut-off valves. Where the water pipe enters the house is the main shut off, usually beside the PRV, a bell shaped device for regulating the house pressure. This main cold line will then branch off to the water heater, bathrooms and kitchen. Each faucet and the water heater and the toilet will have a shut-off valve. The hot water line comes out of the top of the heater and goes to bathrooms and kitchen. Each hot faucet also has a shut-off valve under it.

Do you need to shut water off at water heater before shutting main water off?

Yes, it’s a good practice to shut off the water supply at the water heater before turning off the main water supply. This helps prevent the water heater from draining and potentially damaging its components. Additionally, it reduces the risk of sediment buildup and helps maintain the water temperature in the tank until the main supply is restored. Always ensure the water heater is turned off before performing maintenance or repairs.

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.
