COMMON WATER HEATER ISSUES

One common gas-fired water heater issue is with the pilot light. The pilot light may go out too frequently, in which case you can initially re-light it yourself per manufacturer’s instructions, but it may need to be inspected by a technician and potentially have the thermocouple replaced. A thermocouple is a safety function that works in conjunction with the pilot light. If the pilot light goes out, the thermocouple senses this and triggers the gas valve to close so gas is not released continually. This device gets dirty and stops working properly overtime, thereby contributing to further pilot light-related issues.

COST OF REPAIRS

On average, traditional storage water heaters will cost approximately $150-$400 depending on the type of repair and if the unit is gas or electric.
