SailinAway's recent thread brings a different question to mind--

Our NH house is used sporadically over the winter and we have kept the gas water heater on....Is it OK to turn off a gas hot water heater for weeks or months at a time, then turn it back on, wait a few hours for the water to heat up, and enjoy a shower as if nothing had happened? (I'd switch off/on both gas and electric simultaneously)

Thanks
