When Does Your Wall Heater Need Repair?
Wall heaters are designed for years of reliable service, but when problems develop, they need professional attention immediately-especially gas units. Don't ignore warning signs or attempt DIY repairs on gas appliances. Contact Galaxy Heating & Air Conditioning at (925) 578-3293 if you notice any of these issues:
- Wall heater won't turn on or igniteIf your wall heater doesn't respond when you turn up the thermostat, or the pilot light won't ignite, you have a problem that requires professional diagnosis. Causes range from simple thermostat issues to complex gas valve or ignition system failures. We quickly identify and fix the problem.
- Pilot light won't stay litA pilot light that goes out repeatedly often indicates a failing thermocouple, draft problems, or gas pressure issues. This is not only frustrating but potentially dangerous if gas is leaking. Our technicians replace faulty components and ensure safe operation.
- Strange gas odor or burning smellIf you smell gas near your wall heater, turn off the gas supply immediately and call us right away. This is a serious safety issue. Burning smells may indicate dust buildup (normal at the start of heating season) or serious electrical/component problems requiring immediate attention.
- Yellow, orange, or flickering flameA healthy gas wall heater flame burns steady blue. Yellow, orange, or dancing flames indicate incomplete combustion, which can produce dangerous carbon monoxide. This requires immediate professional service-don't delay calling (925) 578-3293.
- Insufficient heat or slow warm-upIf your wall heater runs but doesn't produce enough heat, or takes much longer than usual to warm the room, you likely have burner problems, airflow restrictions, or failing components. We diagnose and repair the issue to restore proper heating performance.
- Excessive wall or ceiling heatThe wall or ceiling around your wall heater should feel warm but not hot to the touch. If it feels excessively hot, or you notice discoloration, you may have dangerous clearance issues or improper installation that requires immediate correction to prevent fire hazards.
