A place for Plumbers and those interested in Plumbing to ask questions and discuss the trade.
Community guidelines:
If you have a plumbing question please include a picture in your post.
If you have a question such as "does this look correct?" please include the code your area adheres to. If you're not sure please include state/province/country you're in. Codes can vary state to state and what's wrong in one area may be perfectly acceptable in another.
Just as codes vary, prices do too. That's why we won't discuss any pricing because there's so many factors that can't or shouldn't be conveyed to strangers over the internet.

Call an electrician,
You clearly have a short somewhere.
I'm confused if this is a plumbing or electrical thing. Would the short be in the water heater or in the wire before it?
Either way it's an electrical short.
It is probably in the heater its self but you don't want to go playing with electricity if you don't know what you're doing because best you can easily kill yourself or burn your house down
