A gas heater is an essential appliance that heats your home during cold weather. Be it a standard gas heater or a powerful one, there is always a probability that you might run into a problem with your gas heater. In many scenarios, getting a professional gas heater is recommended. Nevertheless, you can perform only a few DIY (Do-It-Yourself) repairs to fix your gas heater. Here are some gas heater repairs you can attempt to do yourself.
When Your Gas Heater Does Not Turn On?
When your gas heater refuses to turn on to produce warm air, it makes colder days more challenging. It is a common problem that gas heaters face. Nevertheless, you can check the following things to get to the root of the problem.
- Switch on the gas – you need to unplug the heater and force the little spring inside the bayonet point to find out if there is gas in the line.
- Double check you have the correct gas type – LPG or natural gas.
- Ensure the gas heater is plugged into the bayonet point – force it in and turn it to the right.
- Now, turn on the power.
What Can You Do?
Reach to the back of the heater and clean the filters. Vacuum the back and front grills. If your gas heater has accumulated excessive dirt and grime, clean the bits your hand can reach. If you need to do more advanced gas heater repairs, then it is recommended to get the services of an experienced gas heater specialist for quality gas heater service and repairs. Else, wiping your gas heater is the simplest thing you can do. Regardless of your use pattern, a gas heater needs annual care and service; thus, getting a gas heater service is vital.
