Turning off a water heater isn’t inherently dangerous, but there can be some risks involved depending on your situation. Most importantly, being inside your home when there is a gas leak can be extremely dangerous. Rather than try to assess the problem yourself if you smell gas, you should leave your home and call 911, followed by your local gas company to report the issue. Additionally, shutting off your water heater when on vacation can be dangerous if the temperature dips below freezing, as this could lead to burst pipes and water damage.

Yes, wind can turn off a pilot light, especially during major storms. If you aren’t sure why your pilot light keeps going out, it might be because drafts or breezes are getting into your home.
