Gas Heating Repairs in Adelaide – Top 3 Problems & Top 3 Solutions

What is the importance of Gas Heating Repairs in Adelaide?

Gas heaters make use of either propane or natural gas to heat enclosed living areas. While gas is over and over again talking about as an expensive means of heat, gas heaters more often than not burn cleaner than oil heaters and as a result, present their owners with fewer repairs than oil heaters. However, when problems do come about with gas heaters, they are more often than not easy to identify and are not labor intensive to correct.

Following are top 3 issues that commonly crop up with older gas heaters and what you can be expecting in terms of Gas Heating Repairs in Adelaide -

• A heater keeps switching on & off - If your heater switches on and switches off before producing the preferred level of heat, it likely suffers from one of these problems – a clogged blower, a dirty filter or an overly dry motor. In the first case, a technician will clean out your blower & its surrounding area using a vacuum; in the second case, the technician who is carrying out your Gas Heating Repairs in Adelaide will replace your temporary air filter or clean & reinsert your permanent air filter; in the third case, the technician will oil the motor by placing oil in the necessary oil ports. In each and every case, the service cost should again be minimal.

• A heater produces no heat - If your gas heater produces no heat, chances are that it is experiencing one of the following issues - a blown fuse or tripped circuit, a closed control valve, a faulty thermostat or a non-working pilot light. While you could correct these issues yourself, it is best to call a heating and cooling company that carries out Gas Heating Repairs in Adelaide if you are not experienced with gas heaters. Regardless of which of the above problems your heater is experiencing, an HVAC repair technician should be able to fix the issue on the same day, and none of the above problems will result in a noteworthy repair cost.

• A heater's pilot light will not come on - With most of the heaters, you can tell if a ‘pilot light’ is ‘on’ by kneeling to the floor and looking at the underside of the heater, where you will see a small blue flame emanating from a small pipe if the pilot light is running. A pilot light that will not light is more often than not caused by one of three issues - a clogged pilot opening, insufficient gas flow because of an improperly set gas valve or a damaged thermocouple. In each and every case, the remedy is required light labour and can be fixed at minimal cost.
