Water Heater Repair in Anna, IL
51% of households in Anna 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
Anna runs on gas: 51% of households heat that way, and that single fact rules most of the possible water heater faults in or out. The figure covers house heating rather than the tank. On a gas heater the suspects are the pilot, the thermocouple and the gas control valve, in that order.

What Anna runs on
Gas leads, but enough houses run on something else that local hearsay is a poor guide to your own heater.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 51% |
| Electricity | 46% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 0% |
| Everything else | 3% |
US Census Bureau, ACS 5-year estimates 2023, table B25040 (house heating fuel). Based on 2,982 occupied housing units in the ZIP code areas that cover Anna.
That is 43 points lower than Illinois as a whole, which is a real difference rather than a rounding one.
One caveat, because it matters: the Census measures the fuel a household heats the HOUSE with, not the fuel it heats WATER with. The two track each other closely — a gas line to the furnace usually feeds the tank as well — but they are not the same number.
Which one do you have
Not sure which you have? A metal flue rising off the top is a gas heater. Two small access panels on the side and no flue is an electric one. Work out which kind you have before you call, and the call gets much shorter.
Next comes what it is actually doing. A rumbling tank is sediment; a short supply usually names the failed part; a leak decides itself.
