Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in Smithsburg, MD

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.

Pilot Light And Ignition Repair FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Pilot Light and Ignition Repair

Questions we hear most often about Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in Smithsburg, MD.

Talk to a real person
How long do water heaters last?
A standard tank water heater lasts 8 to 12 years. Tankless models often reach 15 to 20 years with proper care.
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 Smithsburg, MD.
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.
