Burner Cleaning and Repair in Las Cruces, NM
A yellow, lazy or noisy flame signals a dirty burner or poor combustion air. We remove and clean the burner, check the orifice size for natural gas or propane and adjust as needed. A clean blue flame heats faster and produces less carbon monoxide. We also check for rust flakes dropping from the flue.

Our team is equipped to handle the larger, more complex gas water heater systems found in commercial settings.

Power Vent Water Heater Repair in Las Cruces
Power vent heaters use a blower to push exhaust out through PVC pipe. Failures usually involve the blower motor, pressure switch, hot surface igniter or condensate in the vent. We read the error codes, test each part and repair the fault. Correct vent slope and termination are verified before we leave.
Flammable Vapor Sensor Repair in Las Cruces
Most gas water heaters built in recent decades have a flammable vapor ignition resistant design. A sensor or flame arrestor screen shuts the burner down if it detects vapors or overheating. Lint and dust in garages can clog the arrestor and shut down the system. We clean the combustion chamber and replace sensors or thermal switches as needed.
Thermostat & Gas Valve Repair in Las Cruces, NM
If your gas water heater isn't heating water to the correct temperature, or if it is running too hot, the thermostat or gas valve might be to blame.

We carry a range of replacement parts for various brands, allowing for fast and efficient repairs.

If a part is defective, we will replace it with a quality, manufacturer-approved component so your water heater heats efficiently and safely.
Pilot Light and Ignition System Repair in Las Cruces
A frequent culprit for no hot water in gas heaters is a faulty pilot light or ignition system. Our technicians are experienced in diagnosing issues like a dirty pilot tube, thermocouple failure or a malfunctioning igniter. We carry common replacement parts on our service vehicles to ensure a quick fix and restore your hot water flow promptly.

Venting and Draft Repair in Las Cruces, NM
Atmospheric gas water heaters rely on a properly sloped metal flue to carry exhaust out of the home. Disconnected sections, rusted draft hoods and poor slope can let combustion gases spill back.

On average, a well-maintained gas water heater can last between 10 to 12 years. Regular maintenance, including flushing the tank, can help extend its lifespan. If your unit is nearing this age and having frequent issues, replacement might be more sensible than continuous repairs.
