Thermostat & Gas Valve Repair in Detroit, MI
If your gas water heater isn't heating water to the correct temperature, or if it is running too hot, the thermostat or gas valve might be to blame. These components control the gas supply and temperature. Our plumbers in Detroit, MI can test the thermostat for accuracy and inspect the gas valve for any blockages or malfunctions. We carry a range of replacement parts for various brands, allowing for quick and efficient repairs.
Burner Cleaning and Repair in Detroit, MI
A yellow, lazy or noisy flame signals a dirty burner or poor combustion air. We remove and clean the burner, check the orifice size for natural gas or propane and adjust as needed. A clean blue flame heats faster and produces less carbon monoxide. We also check for rust flakes dropping from the flue.
Venting and Draft Repair in Detroit, MI
Atmospheric gas water heaters depend on a properly sloped metal flue to carry exhaust out of the home. Disconnected sections, rusted draft hoods and poor slope can let combustion gases spill back. We repair or replace vent sections and confirm draft with a test. Proper venting is essential for your family's safety.
All Major Gas Water Heater Brands Serviced in Detroit
Whether you have a Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith or another major brand of gas water heater, our technicians are trained to service them all. We have access to a wide range of parts and the right diagnostic tools needed for various models. That means your repair is done correctly the first time, regardless of the brand.
Propane Water Heater Repair in Detroit
Rural properties often run water heaters on propane rather than natural gas. Propane units use different orifices and regulator pressures, and improper conversions cause sooting and poor performance. We confirm the correct parts are installed and repair pilots, valves and burners. We also check tank regulators for proper pressure.
Power Vent Water Heater Repair in Detroit
Power vent heaters use a blower to push exhaust out through PVC pipe. Failures often involve the blower motor, pressure switch, hot surface igniter or condensate in the vent. We read the error codes, test each part and repair the fault. Correct vent slope and termination are verified before we leave.
