Local considerations in Baltimore

Water & scale: older lines; mineral grit—tank and tankless diverge when scale builds.
Climate / outage context: humid summers; freeze-thaw. After nor'easters, confirm breakers/fuel before assuming the heater is dead.
Housing: rowhouses; formstone; basements. Closet, garage, attic, or basement heaters change what you can safely inspect.
Local example: rowhouse vanity weep vs spinning meter.
Access: alleys; shared meters; landlord shutoffs.

What to verify before a heater visit

Confirm all fixtures lack hot water—not just one tap.
Check the heater’s breaker / disconnect and, for gas, that the control is on—only if you can do so without forcing panels.
Look for error codes on tankless units; scale (older lines) is frequent Baltimore context, not a self-diagnosis.
Note heater location given rowhouses.
If the tank or pan is wet, switch to leaking water heater.
Skip DIY element swaps if you’re not equipped.
