Frequently Asked Questions
Is HotFlow the company that repairs the water heater?
HotFlow is a referral network — we connect you with independent, local water heater repair professionals rather than sending our own crew. Licensing and insurance can be confirmed directly with the technician before work begins.
Why does my pilot light keep going out in Braidwood?
The most common cause is a worn thermocouple, which is a relatively inexpensive part to replace. Drafts and a dirty pilot orifice can also cause this. A technician can usually diagnose it on the same visit.
How long does a typical gas water heater last?
Most tank-style units last around 8 to 12 years depending on water quality and maintenance. Tankless units tend to last longer with proper upkeep. A technician can assess your specific unit's condition.
My water heater is making noise but still works — is that a problem?
Popping or rumbling sounds usually indicate sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. It's not always urgent, but it's worth having flushed or inspected before it affects the unit's lifespan.
What should I do if I smell gas near my water heater?
Leave the house immediately, avoid operating any switches or appliances, and call your gas utility's emergency line from a safe location. This takes priority over calling for a repair.
