Old houses, newer heaters

San Gabriel's older homes near the Mission district often had heaters added where space allowed: a back porch, a closet, a corner of the garage. Odd spots make for odd problems.

We check venting, clearances and the connections that tie the heater into older piping.

What we look for

Burner faults, a thermocouple that drops the pilot, sediment rumble, rust at the fittings and water at the base. Each points to a different part.

Flushes and swaps

We flush sediment through the drain valve and replace that valve if it will not seal.

Rusty dielectric fittings and a weeping relief valve are replaced on the existing tank.

Historic homes and tight spaces

Heaters squeezed into back porches near the Mission often have little room around them. We check venting and clearance as part of every visit.

If the closet door blocks combustion air, we point that out.

Questions from San Gabriel homeowners

My water smells like eggs. Is it the heater?

Often the anode reacting with the water. We can look at the anode and flush the tank.

Can you work in a cramped porch closet?

Yes. Old San Gabriel layouts are part of the job.
