The unforeseen and unthinkable happens; you start washing dishes as your guests settle into their accommodations. You expect plenty of hot water for dishwashing and evening bathing by your guests, but the faucet spews only cool water. Panic sets in; what happened?

Places that sell gas water heaters generally recommend a capacity of 50-70 gallons; it’s better to have more than you need than less than you need. Heaters with this capacity usually cost between $300 - $700, depending upon the brand and the service contract.

When you buy a new gas water heater you can usually also purchase a life time warranty on it. This is a good idea. Gas heaters rarely break down, but when they do it costs a fortune to fix. So you will be glad that you paid additional for the warranty. Otherwise the best thing to do would be to buy a new heater instead of trying to fix the old one.
