Especially if its coming from your water heater. I had taken a shower, then Lauren, then I was on Allison about getting in the shower. She turned on the water, and then told me it wasn't getting hot. We had always been able to all three take showers without running out of hot water so I wasn't sure why it wasn't getting hot. So I said 'let me go down and look at the water heater'. I said that knowing that there wasn't anything wrong, but really didn't know what else to say.Well, I walked into the garage to a huge mess of water all under the water heater. I went next door and got Tarek (whose water heater went out last month) and he came over and helped me shut off the gas AND drain the water heater. So Allison headed over to take a shower at Tarek and Kelley's. What a night!
The next day I called the same guy that Tarek had called. He came told me what I needed to do in order to find out what size of water heater I needed. I went to Home Depot and Lowes before calling the place he advised me to call. It was cheaper at the place he referred me to and I went and picked up the water heater. The next night he came over, replaced the water heater and had it running in an hour. Cost of the water heater and installation...$600. Not bad considering most places for installation and the product is close to $1100. However, all this happening a month before Christmas isn't good on the wallet. But we can all take hot showers now...so all of our friends are thankful!
