Re: Holy Smokes!!
What he is saying is, it is called a water heater. Not a hot water heater. That is like saying cold air conditioner.

I know of a similar case. A plumber installing a new hot water heater in a home had to drill a hole in the wall for some reason. (Not my home, a customers) and somehow drilled into something which sparked a fire inside the wall.
Similar kind of deal... the plumber drills the hole and finishes up the install and leaves... but sparks somehow started a smouldering fire in the wall which eventually blossomed. The homeowner said a shorttime after the plumber left they could smell burning but couldn't locate the problem, and then noticed smoke coming from their roof vents, and then BOOM fire in the roof spreading like crazy. Even with quick Fire Department response, the upper floor, garage and roof were badly fire damaged and the lower floor was heavy water and smoke damage.
In that case, it took *THREE YEARS* before the Plumbing
Contractor's insurance paid up and the house was repaired.
