Water Heater Repair in Swayzee, IN
65% of households in Swayzee 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
Knowing what Swayzee burns is worth more over the telephone than any description of the symptom, and 65% of households there heat with gas. House heating fuel predicts the water heater without proving it. On a gas heater the suspects are the pilot, the thermocouple and the gas control valve, in that order.

What Swayzee runs on
Gas is clearly in front here. The useful consequence is that the fault list is short: pilot, thermocouple, gas valve, and eventually the flue.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 65% |
| Electricity | 29% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | under 1% |
| Everything else | 6% |

That sits 13 points lower than the Indiana average, which is why we publish the town figure rather than the state one.
Strictly, the survey asks what heats the home. Water heating almost always runs on the same supply, but the two can differ in one house without differing in the town.
Which one do you have
Check for a flue. Gas heaters vent; electric heaters have nothing to vent and carry element access panels on the side instead. 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.
