    No hot water in house
    I took a hot shower this morning but a couple hours later there is no hot water anywhere in the house. Any idea what could have happened? When I turn the hot water on at the kitchen faucet it sounds like its gargling yet no water comes out. Thanks so much in advance

    Where are you located? During this Cold spell, I have Noticed Many People losing their Hot Water. Seems Strange. Along time ago someone had said warm water freezes faster than cold water, make no sense.
    Never tested it out, I believe they said the molecules were moving?
    Still seems strange. You may look at the side or bottom of this page for other suggestions. Good luck, will let you know what I find. Is the Water Heater in the House?

    Hi Stratmando...

    For fun I thought I'd post this link on why hot water freezes quicker than cold water:

    Hope you and others that find it enjoy... :)
