Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in New Auburn, MN

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 New Auburn, MN.

Talk to a real person
What does it cost to repair versus replace a water heater?
Repairing a water heater costs 200 to 800 dollars while replacement costs 1000 to 2500 dollars. A technician can inspect the unit to determine the better option.
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 does the pilot light keep going out?
A pilot light that goes out points to a faulty thermocouple or gas supply problem. A technician at Melvin's Water Heater Service can replace the part.
How do gas and electric water heaters compare in running costs?
Gas water heaters cost less to operate than electric models in most regions. Annual energy costs average 200 dollars for gas versus 500 dollars for electric.
