Two minutes before you send it

  • Gas tank: is the pilot lit? The small window near the bottom of the tank shows it.
  • Electric tank: is the breaker for the water heater on?
  • Water at the base? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
  • Gas smell? Leave the house and call 911 or the gas utility first.
