So, I woke up Friday with no hot water...and no heat! My 14 year old Apollo water heater bit the dust--or, rather, the burner assembly did. A drain leak managed to somehow pool in the bottom of the drip pan before the leak was caught, and, presto, rust formed and put a hole in the gas line of the burner assembly. Does anybody know where I can find a replacement burner assembly (650,000 BTUs)? I need to replace the whole water heater, but I'm told it will cost upwards of $4000! Can I use a regular water heater? Thanks to anybody who can point me in the right direction...the weather will be getting cold again by the end of the week!
