Identifying the Common Signs Your Gas Water Heater Needs Attention

Ignoring potential issues with your gas water heater can be risky. Be vigilant and look out for these tell-tale signs that indicate it's time for a safety check:

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, whistling, or popping sounds can indicate sediment build-up or other internal problems.
  • Pilot Light Issues: A pilot light that frequently goes out or is difficult to light is a cause for concern.
  • Rust or Corrosion: Visible rust or corrosion on the unit or surrounding pipes can compromise its integrity.
  • Reduced Hot Water: A decrease in the amount or temperature of hot water could signal a problem with the burner or thermostat.
  • Smell of Gas: Any smell of gas, however faint, should be treated as an emergency. Turn off the gas supply at the meter and call us immediately on 0191 743 0596.

Flue Inspection: Protecting Your Home from Carbon Monoxide

A faulty flue is a silent killer. It can leak deadly carbon monoxide (CO) into your home, which is why a proper flue inspection is a critical part of our service. We use specialised equipment to check for cracks, blockages, and proper ventilation, ensuring that harmful gases are safely expelled from your property. Your family's safety is our top priority.
