Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in Saint Helena Island, SC

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.

Frequently asked questions about Pilot Light and Ignition Repair

Questions we hear most often about Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in Saint Helena Island, SC.

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.
How long does water heater replacement take?
Water heater replacement takes 2 to 4 hours in most homes. Same-day service is available through (833) 774-1697 in Saint Helena Island, SC.
What are the differences between tankless and tank water heaters?
Tankless units heat water on demand and save space while tank models store 40 to 50 gallons. Tankless models suit homes with high demand.
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.
