What's the opposite of being in hot water?

Because that's where I'm likely to be in a few weeks, given the water that is leaking slowly but surely out of our hot water heater. Fortunately, it's still working so I have the chance to actually schedule an appointment and not pay emergency rates or live without it even temporarily. (Of course, having typed that it will now explode or something

Gas. Electric just isn't cost-effective over the life of the heater. Neither are tankless, unfortunately.

I was going to recommend a plumber, but if you have one then that's fine. I recommend not waiting too long; they can fail pretty spectacularly. And gas is definitely better. Tankless is awesome, if you have a spare $3k and are planning to be in the house for 10 years or more.

I've used Killeen Plumbing on the prior occasions I needed a plumber and haven't been disappointed at all.

And we won't let anyone but Gorjanc touch our plumbing. It's awesome to have a good plumber!

Uh, helps if I spell their name right....
