The first run of the season is always a shakedown — there's usually something to sort out. Here's what we caught on this one.
Hot water heater — no hot water
May 29, 2026
ProblemFirst trip of the season and the water heater wouldn't fire. The unit was replaced last year after a winterizing job went wrong; whoever installed the new one buried an inline fuse somewhere out of reach, and it had blown.
FixRewired the circuit with a fresh inline fuse holder mounted where I can actually get to it — strip, crimp, heat-shrink. Hot water back in about ten minutes.
