Gas safety comes first
⚠️ If you smell gas (rotten eggs), leave the house and call your gas utility — and 911 if needed — before anything else. Don’t flip switches or relight. Gas water heater repairs involve combustion, venting, and carbon-monoxide risk, so they should always be handled by a licensed pro. We test for safe operation and proper draft on every visit.
Gas water heater replacement
If your gas unit is over ~10 years old or the tank is leaking, replacement is usually the better value. We install high-efficiency gas tanks and can convert you to tankless or a hybrid unit. See replacement cost.

Gas water heater FAQs
Why is my gas water heater not heating?
Usually the pilot light is out, the thermocouple has failed, or the gas control valve is bad. Check that the pilot is lit and gas is on; if it won’t stay lit or relight, call a pro.
Why won’t my gas water heater pilot light stay on?
Most often a faulty thermocouple, which shuts off gas when it doesn’t sense the flame. A dirty pilot orifice or a draft can also cause it. More here.
Who can work on a gas water heater?
A licensed plumber or gas-fitter should — gas connections, venting, and combustion safety require proper training and code compliance.
How long do gas water heaters last?
Typically 8–12 years. Hard water and lack of maintenance shorten that; annual flushing extends it.
