Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in Trafford, AL

A weak thermocouple fails to keep the gas valve open after the pilot flame is lit. Melvin's Water Heater Service measures millivolt output from the thermocouple under flame. Readings below thirty millivolts require replacement. Technicians clean the pilot orifice of spider webs that restrict gas flow. One paragraph describes the piezo igniter button and its spark gap.
After reassembly the flame sensor is positioned in the hottest part of the pilot. Call (833) 774-1697.

Pilot Light And Ignition Repair FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Pilot Light and Ignition Repair

Questions we hear most often about Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in Trafford, AL.

Talk to a real person
What does a popping or rumbling noise mean?
Popping or rumbling noises indicate sediment buildup on the tank bottom. Flushing the tank removes the sediment and quiets the unit.
Why is my water heater leaking from the bottom?
A leak from the bottom usually signals tank corrosion or a failed drain valve. Replacement is required once the tank corrodes.
What size water heater does a home need?
A 40 to 50 gallon tank fits most three-bedroom homes. Larger households may require 60 to 80 gallons or a tankless system.
How often should sediment be flushed from a water heater?
Flush sediment from a tank water heater once per year. This step extends the life of the unit.
Is a leaking water heater an emergency?
A leaking water heater requires prompt attention to avoid water damage. Call (833) 774-1697 for same-day repair in Trafford, AL.
