Water Heater Repair in Newnan, GA
50% of households in Newnan heat with gas. That is the strongest free clue to what kind of water heater is in your basement, and it decides which faults are even possible.
Answer first
50% of Newnan households burn gas for heat, and a water heater almost always sits on whatever line the furnace already uses. That is house heating fuel, so read it as a strong hint rather than as a reading of your own tank. On a gas heater the suspects are the pilot, the thermocouple and the gas control valve, in that order.

What Newnan runs on
Gas has the plurality here without owning the town. That is worth pausing on, because the two kinds of tank have almost nothing in common once they fail.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 50% |
| Electricity | 48% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 0% |
| Everything else | 2% |
Figures from the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 5-year estimates, table B25040, 2023 release, covering 36,962 occupied housing units across Newnan.
The Georgia average is 5 points lower, so the state figure would mislead you about this town.
That figure is house heating fuel, not water heater fuel. They correlate strongly, because the same gas line generally serves both, but the Census does not publish the second one and we are not going to pretend it does.
Which one do you have
If you are not sure, look at the top of the tank: a flue pipe going up into the ceiling means gas, and no flue at all means electric. Work out which kind you have before you call, and the call gets much shorter.
From there the symptom decides the rest: none at all, not enough of it, a tank that rumbles, or water on the floor, which is the one that will not wait.
