Local considerations in Minneapolis
- Water & scale: municipal; mixed duplex piping—tank and tankless diverge when scale builds.
- Climate / outage context: deep freezes; snowmelt. After spring melt, confirm breakers/fuel before assuming the heater is dead.
- Housing: basements; duplexes; older homes. Closet, garage, attic, or basement heaters change what you can safely inspect.
- Local example: polar-night burst vs mild kitchen drip.
- Access: shared duplex shutoffs; frozen meters.

Safer heater-side checks
- Confirm all fixtures lack hot water—not just one tap.
- Check the heater’s breaker / disconnect and, for gas, that the control is on—only if you can do so without forcing panels.
- Look for error codes on tankless units; scale (municipal) is frequent Minneapolis context, not a self-diagnosis.
- Note heater location given basements.
- If the tank or pan is wet, switch to leaking water heater.
- Skip DIY element swaps if you’re not equipped.
