TIME A FACTOR HAHAHHA.

  • Answer:

    If you aren't getting any water to come out (cold or hot) when you turn on the hot water faucet, you probably need to turn the hot water on. Your brother must have shut off the water valve on the water pipe the goes into your water heater. If this is the case, you shouldn't have your pilot light on and your water heater going. You might damage your water heater. You should also find out why your brother turned the water off. There may be a leak somewhere or some other problem that he is working on. If everything is OK, you should be able to turn the water back on by opening the valve, then re-light the pilot light, turn the burner on, and within about a half an hour you should start seeing warm water.

sounds like he turned off the cutoff valve off going into the hot water heater or you did not reset the temperature setting on the control after you lit the pilot light. even if its been off for an hour, it is an insulated unit,the water should be warm.its a pressure system,so if no water is going in the gas valve wont open as a safety precaution.if no pressure going in,no water comes out.

If no water is coming out of the hot tap then you'll have to find where the main valve is going into or out of the boiler and turn it on. I used to turn off the hot water after my brother was in the shower for an hour or so. Hours of fun.
