DIY Water Heater repair. When simple things go wrong

Nah! It can't be true. Nobody ever gets hurt playing around with their HVAC equipment. It's gotta be made up. After all, it'isn't rocket science, plus all techs are monkeys, right? LOL!!

And about 50,000 people die a year in car crashes. Does that mean we all need to hire professional drivers?

If you truly cared about the physical well-being of homeowners rather than your own thin wallet, you would give constructive advice helping homeowners appreciate the boundaries of what is a DIY project and what is truly dangerous. Saying a blanket "call a tech" for every problem and every homeowner is just not credible or realistic.

But the unprofessionals on this group would rather send a 100 posts cursing out someone rather than giving even an occassional helpful pointer.
