Our Comprehensive Gas Water Heater Servicing: What We Check

Our thorough gas water heater servicing covers all the essential aspects of your system. We'll inspect the burner and pilot light, check for gas leaks, test the safety devices (like pressure relief valves), examine the flue for proper ventilation, and ensure the thermostat is working accurately. We'll also clean the burner and remove any debris that could affect performance. If we find any issues, we'll explain them clearly and provide you with honest advice on the best course of action.

Common Gas Water Heater Problems We Solve in Durham

From pilot light issues to thermostat malfunctions, we've seen it all. Some of the most common gas water heater problems we encounter in Durham homes include:

  • Pilot light repeatedly going out: This could indicate a problem with the thermocouple or gas supply.
  • Water not heating to the correct temperature: This could be a faulty thermostat or a build-up of sediment in the tank.
  • Leaks: Any signs of water leaks should be addressed immediately to prevent further damage.
  • Unusual noises: Banging, hissing, or rumbling noises could indicate a problem with the burner or tank.
  • Rusty or discoloured water: This could indicate corrosion inside the tank.
