Water Heater Repair in Keller, TX
51% of households in Keller heat with gas. That is the strongest free clue to what kind of water heater is in your basement, and it decides which faults are even possible.
Answer first
Knowing what Keller burns is worth more over the telephone than any description of the symptom, and 51% of households there heat with gas. House heating fuel predicts the water heater without proving it. Gas heaters go wrong at the burner end: pilot, thermocouple, control valve, flue.

What Keller runs on
Gas leads, but enough houses run on something else that local hearsay is a poor guide to your own heater.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 51% |
| Electricity | 48% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | under 1% |
| Everything else | under 1% |
Drawn from table B25040 of the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 5-year estimates, 2023 release — 39,040 occupied housing units across Keller.
The Texas average is 13 points higher, so the state figure would mislead you about this town.
That figure is house heating fuel, not water heater fuel. They correlate strongly, because the same gas line generally serves both, but the Census does not publish the second one and we are not going to pretend it does.
Which one do you have
If you are not sure, look at the top of the tank: a flue pipe going up into the ceiling means gas, and no flue at all means electric. Settle that one question and the rest of the conversation is straightforward.
The symptom does the rest of the work. Hot water that quits early is the most informative of them; a leak from the tank itself is the most urgent.
