Gas Line Installments

Gas Water Heaters:
A clean and unobstructed vent is very important for a gas water heater to operate safely. Keep obstructions (snow, leaves, etc.) clear of the outside vent of a power vented water heater. If your water heater has cycled off due to a power outage, breaker trip or some other similar reason, first unplug the power vent and then plug it back in again. The water heater should restart. If it does not, call Haller Enterprises to schedule a service call.

Tips for Prevention - Gas Hot Water Heater

·Check the main burner and pilot - rust scale and/or dirt in or on the main burner or pilot can cause improper fuel/air mixture and lead to carbon or soot buildup.

·Check for proper vent draft - improper or back drafting from your water heater could allow the excessive formation of carbon monoxide. This could then enter your home.

·Check for water leaks - Leaks may indicate a future serious problem, which can be costly. When leaks are found early, appropriate action can be taken which may save you stress and money.

·Check operation of emergency cutoff - If you are not aware of where the emergency water cut off is located, or if it is inoperable, this could cause a costly problem if you have a leak.

·Check temperature and pressure safety relief valve - A non-functional safety relief valve may not open when it is needed. This could result in the pressure building up to extremely high and dangerous levels.

·Check drain valve operation - The drain valve is used for flushing sediment from the tank and draining the water heater in case of repairs and or replacement.
