Water Heater Repair in Andrews, IN
56% of households in Andrews 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
56% of Andrews 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 Andrews runs on
Gas is the plurality here rather than the rule. Check what is under your own tank before reading anything into what happened next door.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 56% |
| Electricity | 39% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 2% |
| Everything else | 4% |
US Census Bureau, ACS 5-year estimates 2023, table B25040 (house heating fuel). Based on 846 occupied housing units in the ZIP code areas that cover Andrews.
That sits 27 points lower than the Indiana average, which is why we publish the town figure rather than the state one.
Read that as a strong indicator rather than a measurement of water heaters. The Census counts what heats the house; what heats the water usually follows it, and occasionally does not.
Which one do you have
The quick test is the top of the tank. A vent pipe means combustion; no vent means elements. Find out what your own tank burns before anyone quotes you anything.
After that it is the symptom that narrows things: nothing at all points one way, running out early another, and a puddle is the one to act on today.
