How Do You Ignite An Electric Water Heater?
To ignite an electric water heater, you don’t need to light a flame as there is no pilot light. Instead, locate the breaker box for the house and ensure that the breaker for the water heater is switched to the “on” position. Then, turn on the cold water supply valve to allow water to enter the tank. The thermostat should automatically turn on and the heating elements begin to heat the water to the desired temperature.
