5 Signs Your Gas Appliance May Need Servicing

Image
  Your gas cooktop, heater or hot water system might still be working, but that doesn't mean everything is running properly. Changes in how your appliance starts, heats or operates can be early signs of a fault.  Here are five warning signs worth getting checked by a licensed gas fitter. #1 Gas Appliance Struggles to Ignite Does your gas cooktop take several attempts to light? Does your gas heater struggle to start? A faulty igniter, dirty burner or gas supply problem could be causing the trouble. If the problem keeps happening, have a licensed gas fitter check the appliance rather than repeatedly trying to ignite it. #2 Appliance Keeps Shutting Down If your gas heater or hot water system switches off unexpectedly, there could be a problem with its safety controls, flame sensor or gas supply. Some appliances automatically shut down when they detect a fault. A licensed gas fitter can test the relevant components and find out what's triggering the shutdown. #3 Unusual Gas Smell ...
