01

Gas heaters and heat pumps are different systems

Gas heaters create heat through combustion and may involve ignition, flame-sensing, water-flow, pressure-switch, and temperature-sensor concerns. Heat pumps move heat into the water and may involve airflow, fan, compressor, refrigerant-related, sensor, or water-flow symptoms.

The right repair conversation starts with the heater type, what the display or controls show, whether the pump is moving water, and whether the unit starts but fails to heat.

02

Common heater symptoms

  • Ignition or flame-start problems on gas equipment
  • Flow, pressure-switch, or sensor alerts
  • A fan or compressor that will not start on a heat pump
  • The heater runs but the water does not reach the expected temperature
  • Automation that cannot call for heat or does not show the heater correctly
03
