Natural Gas Question

[Ms3r4ISU]

That’s what I’ve tried. And it won’t work. Once mid American comes and confirms my gas is ok, I’ll try it again. I think I just hit the ignition for about 20 seconds straight. But maybe it needs longer.

Hey, you still here?

Hey, you still here?

Blew up about 12 hours ago.

They were able to move me up to today and I’m getting a new water heater. Apparently there have been some issues with the gas valve on the model they installed 6 months ago. Since they can’t get a new valve until tomorrow they are just installing a new one.

It’s better than I was just too stupid to light the pilot light

This falls under the category of stupid people really shouldn't own homes.....

I woke up yesterday and my less than 1 year old water heater wasn't working. The pilot light was out and I can't relight it. It acts like there is no power to it. And to be honest, in 12 years, I haven't even once tried to light a pilot light.

The plumbers that installed it can't come out until Friday. But this morning it occurred to me that I have no idea if it is an issue with the water heater or if there's a chance that the gas is out overall. The townhouse next to me has been under contract for several weeks so I'm guessing that there have been some exchanges of utilities between the owner and the buyer.

So I guess my question is....how can I tell if it is an issue that I should deal with MidAmerican on or if it is an issue I should wait for the plumber to fix my water heater?

So give us the update, what was wrong?

nevermid. I was typing when you posted.
