Careful repair for gas tank water heaters: pilot and ignition problems, thermocouples, gas valves, anode rods and leaks.
No hot water is a morning emergency, and a gas water heater that has lost its flame is one of the most frequent causes. Nashville homes rely on tank water heaters that sit quietly in garages, closets and utility rooms for years, until a pilot goes out, a thermocouple fails or the tank begins to leak. Gas appliances require careful handling, and a technician who checks the gas connection, the venting and the burner is a necessary part of the repair.
We check the pilot or igniter, thermocouple or flame sensor, thermostat and gas control valve, burner and flue, the venting and combustion air, the anode rod and the tank for leaks. If you ever smell gas, leave the home and call your gas utility or emergency services first. We explain what failed and the cost to repair, and if the tank itself is leaking or very old, we help you compare a repair with a new water heater honestly.
Pilots go out, thermocouples wear and igniters fail, and each is tested and replaced as needed.
A failing gas valve or thermostat gives lukewarm water or no heat and is a more involved repair.
A blocked flue or poor draft can shut off the burner and is a safety concern we check on every visit.
Leaks from the tank mean replacement, and an anode rod can extend the life of a sound tank.
