💬 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What signs show your heater needs repair?

A: Cold air, strange noises, error codes, less efficient, can’t reach temperature set point, short cycling, burnt, smelly, or frequent shutdowns all signal it’s time to call a professional.

A: Most repair jobs fall between $70–$299 + Part (Feb-2024), depending on the issue. We always offer upfront advice and free quotes before starting any work. Pricewise: Our OEM parts often supplied cheaper than do-it-yourself.

🚨Why Modern Heater Repair Isn’t a Job for a Generalist

The heart of a modern heater is no longer just a flame, but a complex electronic control system. This is why a simple plumbing or gas-fitting skill set is often not enough to provide a lasting repair.

✔️ More Than Plumbing Skills:

Today’s gas valves and electronic controllers require specific electronic troubleshooting skills and calibrated diagnostic equipment. Many plumbers lack the experience, training, or insurance for electronic fault diagnosis and repairs.

The complexity of modern electronic controlling systems on heaters requires more than just gas fitting skills. Today, gas valves are non-serviceable, meaning they can no longer be manually dismantled and reassembled for maintenance; they are only replaceable. After replacement, a gas fitter or plumber will use a Manometer to check and readjust the gas pressure, but this is only one part of the job.

A modern gas valve cycles around 120,000 times (on-off) before it requires attention. You’ve seen it yourself: heaters that are 30 years old still operating properly. Once the heater is in place, virtually only the electronics are taking over. Even when not in use during summer, the gas valve is constantly sensed by the central electronic controller to make sure it stays off. This is unlike old heaters where the pilot light stayed on all summer. The modern gas valve makes a flame only when you call for heat.

The electronic circuit that monitors the gas valve is “live” and connected to a 240VAC power supply capable of delivering more than 10 amperes—many times over the danger level that can cause death from electrical shock. “Tingling” with this control circuit for live-fault-finding is an extremely difficult task. Most plumbers, gas fitters, or electricians are not prepared for this due to:

• Lack of experience in this specific area.
• Not being qualified for on-site electronic circuit troubleshooting.
• Inadequate equipment, or testing gear that is never properly calibrated.
• Qualification and insurance issues. A plumber is academically qualified for plumbing, so their insurance will doubtfully cover “tingling” with tasks outside that scope of work. Personal experience is valuable, but it cannot replace a specific qualification for complex, live electrical circuit fault-finding.

✔️ Avoid Misleading “Cleaning” Solutions:

Common response to a faulty heater is that the burners are dirty. While cleaning is a part of maintenance, it often fails to fix the root cause, leading to frustrating repeat problems. Cleaning burners alone won’t solve most modern electronic issues.

You can find many videos online of plumbers using high-compressed air to blow out debris from burner gaps, or fine sandpaper and steel wool for the same matter. While this can be done, and cleaning is required when your flame is not an even, blue colour, these faults are more likely related to electronic sensors and control circuits in modern heaters. An experienced technician will use a specialised testers specifically designed for fault-finding in live circuits in situations like this.

I have so often seen a “service” and cleaning fail to fix the root cause. For example:

• The famous error 7 flash on a Brivis ducted heater.
• A fault 7 on a Braemar unit.
• A Bonaire Rhino MB5 that works for only 5 minutes then turns off (while the fan stays on).
