    What's included

    Everything in every gas water heater repair call

    Gas component diagnosis

    We test the thermocouple, thermopile, gas valve, pilot assembly and burner to identify the exact failed component - not just replace parts at random.

    Licensed gas work

    All gas-related repairs are performed by licensed technicians. We don't cut corners on gas connections - a bad gas repair is a safety hazard.

    Full safety check

    After any gas repair, we test for leaks, verify proper combustion, check venting for blockages and confirm the unit is operating safely before we leave.

    Our water heater went out with a house full of kids and no hot water. Water Heater Rescue answered right away, came out the same day, explained everything clearly, and gave a flat price upfront. No hidden fees, no runaround. We had hot water again that afternoon.

    FAQ

    Common questions about gas water heater repair

    Why does my pilot light keep going out?
    The most common cause is a failed or weakened thermocouple - the safety device that senses whether the pilot is lit. It's an inexpensive part and one of the most common gas water heater repairs we do. A dirty pilot orifice, drafts or a failing gas valve are other possibilities.
    Is it safe to relight my pilot light myself?
    Yes, if you follow the instructions on the label of your unit and you don't smell gas. If you smell gas, don't attempt to relight it - call your gas company and then call us.
    What's the difference between a thermocouple and a thermopile?
    A thermocouple generates a small millivolt signal that holds the gas valve open while the pilot is lit. A thermopile generates more voltage and is used in units with electronic controls or remote thermostats. Both are safety devices - if either fails, the gas valve closes and your pilot won't stay lit.
    My burner fires but shuts off after a few seconds - what's wrong?
    This is usually a thermocouple or thermopile issue, though a failing gas valve can cause the same symptom. It can also be caused by a blocked flue or inadequate combustion air. We diagnose the specific cause before replacing any components.
    Do you work on propane water heaters as well as natural gas?
    Yes. We service both natural gas and propane water heaters. Propane units operate at different pressures and require propane-rated components - we carry parts for both fuel types.
