Pilot Light Repair in Tempe
A pilot that will not light or will not stay lit is the most common gas water heater call. Causes include a worn thermocouple, a clogged pilot orifice, a bad piezo igniter or a tripped thermal cutoff. We test the thermocouple output with a meter and clean or replace the pilot assembly. Most pilot repairs are completed in about an hour.

Gas Control Valve Replacement in Tempe, AZ
The gas control valve regulates temperature and shuts off gas if the pilot goes out. Newer valves from Honeywell and White-Rodgers use status lights that blink codes when something fails. If the valve itself has failed, we replace it with an exact match or approved universal model. We leak test and verify temperature control afterward.
Flammable Vapor Sensor Repair in Tempe
Most gas water heaters built in recent decades have a flammable vapor ignition resistant design. A sensor or flame arrestor screen shuts the burner down if it senses vapors or overheating. Lint and dust in garages can clog the arrestor and trip the system. We clean the combustion chamber and replace sensors or thermal switches as needed.
Burner Cleaning and Repair in Tempe, AZ
A yellow, lazy or noisy flame points to 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 falling from the flue.
Power Vent Water Heater Repair in Tempe
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 failure. Correct vent slope and termination are verified before we leave.
Venting and Draft Repair in Tempe, AZ
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 verify draft with a test. Proper venting is critical for your family's safety.
Propane Water Heater Repair in Tempe
Rural properties often run water heaters on propane instead of natural gas. Propane units use different orifices and regulator pressures, and incorrect 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.

Gas Water Heater Repair Cost in Tempe, AZ
Thermocouple and pilot repairs usually cost $150 to $350. Gas control valve replacement often runs $350 to $700, and power vent blower repairs can range from $400 to $800. A new gas tank installed typically costs $1,600 to $3,000 depending on size and venting. We help you decide based on tank age and condition.
Gas Water Heater Repair Near Me in Tempe, AZ
