Glendora Water Heater

We have been servicing and installing water heaters since 1988.  When it comes to Glendora water heater service we are the company of choice.  What are the most common problems the a water heater will have and how can they be prevented.  Our Glendora Plumbing customers often call because their water heater is not lit.  This can be as simple as relighting the pilot or something more serious.  Most heaters have the relighting instructions on the heater.  Simply follow these directions.  If your heater won’t light then the problem may be the thermocouple.  A call to us your Glendora water heater professionals will solve the problem.  What is a thermocouple and how does it work? All gas water heaters have a pilot lights that ignites the main burner.  The main burner is used to heat the water in the tank. The pilot light is used to light the main burner.  It also has a safety role in that it insures the no gas builds up and that the main burner is lit quickly. The thermocouples job is to monitor the pilot and ensure it stays lit.

It is placed next to the pilot so that the flame of the pilot hits the thermocouple.  Caution: Don’t try to replace the thermocouple on your own.  One call to us Glendora water heater pros, problem fixed. The flame burning on the thermocouple causes it to generate a small electrical current usually about 20 millivolts. This current is what tells the control valve to stay open and allow gas to flow to the pilot and to the burner. If the pilot flame goes out the thermocouple quits sending the small electrical charge and the gas valve shuts off the gas.  Let us be your Glendora water heater company of choice.

Glendora Water Heater Repair

Sometimes our clients call because they don’t have enough hot water.  There are a number of reasons that this could be happening.  The first possible cause is that somehow the temperature knob has been turned down.  To fix this problem simply turn the knob back up to the normal position.  If the temperature control setting is already in the normal position and there still is not sufficient hot water the problem could be more serious. A call to us your Glendora water heater professionals will solve the problem. Sometimes the problem is because the water heater control valve has gone bad.  The control valve tells the burner how long to stay lit and what temperature to heat the water up to.  Unfortunately this control valve is quite costly.  It may be better to replace the heater.  Another problem could be sediment.  Sediment builds up and prevents the the heater from heating the water properly.  A call to us your Glendora water heater professionals will solve the problem.  We will flush out the heater and remove the sediment that is slowing down the heater

What causes my heat heater to make rumbling noises.  Ever heard rumbling noises coming from your water heater?  this can be annoying and frightening.  The cause can be quite simple.  It is usually because sediment has built up in the heater.  Water becomes trapped between the layers of sediment.  When the water that is trapped is released it makes this rumbling noise.  A call to us your Glendora water heater professionals will solve the problem. 

Water heater venting problems.  Every gas water heater has a vent.  The vents purpose is to carry away the gas left behind during the combustion process.  There are problems that can occur with the water heater vent.  The main problem that can occur is the vent becoming clogged. A call to us your Glendora water heater professionals will solve the problem.  Since the vent goes out through the roof the cap can become dislodged and leaves and other debris can go down the pipe.  This can be very dangerous because it causes the heater to vent into the house.  The next problem that can occur is the pipe becomes burned or worn out.  This presents a serious fire hazard and needs to be fixed quickly. A call to us your Glendora water heater professionals will solve the problem.
