Heater servicing signs
Not every gas heater displays an error code. Sometimes, all you’d get are just hints that something is wrong with your heater. Below are some of those telltale signs.
- The pilot light goes out unexpectedly, or you hear a ‘pop’ or ‘bang’ when it is being lit.
- Your heater gives off a foul, chemical-like odor.
- The heater’s pilot flame frequently turns off.
- There is an irregular sound coming from the heater’s fan.
- The heater switches off when you remove your finger from the ignition button
- Your eyes get irritated when your heater is on.
Your gas heater technician will discuss concerns and understand the issues you have with your gas heater. Your heater will be removed and taken outside where the servicing will be completed. The heater technician will dismantle the outer casing and clean out internal and filter dust buildup.
Once all components have been cleaned, your gas heater technician will test and service:
- Ignition system
- Clean blockages in your injectors
- Test your valves
- Check all wire harnessing
- Check your fan
- Test the heater circuit board
- Check your hose
- Test for gas leakages
- Test for carbon monoxide emission
How often should you service your gas heater?
Why you should service your gas heater
Harmful gases such as carbon monoxide can be released from unflued gas heaters. When breathed in, carbon monoxide displaces oxygen in the bloodstream and deprives the heart, brain and vital organs of oxygen.
To prevent any exposure to harmful gasses, it is important to ensure:
- your heater is serviced regularly
- the room where your heater is situated is well ventilated
- your gas heater is turned off when you leave home or work
- children are supervised around heaters
Safety ensured gas heater servicing
When it comes to gas heaters, safety is paramount. A faulty gas heater can leak gas or even emit carbon dioxide, potentially placing you and your family in danger. So to ensure the safety of your home, you need to have it serviced regularly. It’s generally recommended that you get your gas heater serviced once every two years if it is a newer model, and once a year if it is an older model.
Here at New Life Plumbing, we understand the importance of regular gas heater servicing. So if you’re unsure about the age of your model, feel free to contact us, and we will be happy to help you out.
