nb4: should have gotten a hot water heater

a handyman who's capable may be cheaper than a plumber.

Gas or electric?

Check to see if just a relight is needed. Sometimes they go out. If it’s near 10-15 years old probably want to look into replacing. I’d go tankless. Plumber is the right call.

Do you have gas heat?
Look into a tankless hot water heater.

If it’s electric you can swap out the heating elements yourself. A plumber will charge hundreds but they sell the kits at Lowe’s for about $40. Check your water heater for the wattage so you get the right one.

Don't forget to check the thermocouple. Had that issue and replaced it for a few bucks by calling Ideal Appliance on Florida.

Based on what exactly?
And assuming you meant thermostat, it could also be heater element or breaker or loose wire.

go check the breaker panel first to see if you have a trip.

Mine is a 1983 model. They don’t make them like they used to.

Get your husband to go to Home Depot buy a new one and install it
