That switch is for the electric heating element in the 10 gallon water heater. Make sure the water heater is full or you will burn it out. Easy to change. There is also another switch for the hot water heater. It is located right on the front of the water heater at the bottom left corner behind some of the gas tubing. Make sure it is turned on too. If you make it a practice (I do) I turn off the outside switch when I winterize so even accidentally turning the inside switch on will not burn the element.
