I have a 4 year old maytag water heater, has been fine since it was new.
Starting yesterday the pilot light has gone out 4 times. The only other
thing is that I turned on my central air conditioning yesterday. The
water
heater and the furnace are in the basement. What is going on? I guess I
call the plumber?

Thanks,

Jeff

Turn the a/c off and see if the problem goes away... If it does then you
have a draft issue and you need to call a plumber quick.

The a/c may be pulling the fumes into the duct work.
