Water Heater Repair in Goshen, UT
63% of households in Goshen 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
63% of Goshen households burn gas for heat, and a water heater almost always sits on whatever line the furnace already uses. That is house heating fuel, so read it as a strong hint rather than as a reading of your own tank. On a gas heater the suspects are the pilot, the thermocouple and the gas control valve, in that order.

What Goshen runs on
Most households here burn gas, which means the tank usually has a flame under it and a vent above it, and both can be the reason for cold water.
| Fuel | Share of households |
|---|---|
| Gas — mains and bottled | 63% |
| Electricity | 19% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 0% |
| Everything else | 17% |

It is worth being precise: this counts home heating fuel. It predicts the water heater well and does not measure it, and no published table measures it directly.
Propane rather than mains gas
Bottled and tank gas lead mains gas here. Before assuming a fault, check the tank — running out is the commonest no-hot-water cause on propane and costs nothing to rule out.
Bottled and tank gas accounts for 52% of households here against 12% on mains gas.
Which one do you have
Check for a flue. Gas heaters vent; electric heaters have nothing to vent and carry element access panels on the side instead. Work out which kind you have before you call, and the call gets much shorter.
Next comes what it is actually doing. A rumbling tank is sediment; a short supply usually names the failed part; a leak decides itself.
