Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Water Heater Repair in Durham
The cost of gas water heater repair in Durham, NH can range from $150 to $800, depending on the complexity of the issue and the parts required. Minor repairs like a thermocouple replacement might be on the lower end, while a gas control valve replacement could be higher. We provide a detailed estimate after diagnosing the problem.
Following the label instructions to relight a pilot is generally safe. If the pilot will not stay lit, or you smell gas, stop and call a professional.
A thermocouple is a safety device in a gas water heater that senses if the pilot light is lit. If it doesn't detect heat, it shuts off the gas supply to prevent gas leaks. A faulty thermocouple is a very common reason for a pilot light not staying lit and is a vital safety component.
We repair Rheem, Ruud, A.O. Smith, State, Bradford White, American Standard and Whirlpool gas tanks, among others. We carry common pilot and valve parts.
Regular maintenance, such as annual flushing of the tank to remove sediment, inspecting the anode rod and checking the pressure relief valve, can greatly extend the life of your gas water heater and prevent common issues. Consider a maintenance plan with FVR Plumbing.
Replacing a part like a thermocouple or gas valve usually does not. Replacing the water heater or altering gas piping or venting often requires a permit, which we handle.
Many Honeywell and White-Rodgers valves use flash codes to report problems like a weak thermopile or a tripped sensor. We read the code and test the matching part.
If you smell gas, leave your home right away, do not turn any lights or appliances on or off, and call your gas company's emergency line and then FVR Plumbing from a safe location. This points to a potentially dangerous gas leak that requires immediate professional attention.
