Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my pilot light keep going out in Harvel?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Should I repair or replace my gas water heater?
It generally depends on the unit's age and what's failed. A control valve or thermocouple issue on a newer tank is usually worth repairing; a rusting tank near the end of its typical service life is often better replaced. A technician can advise after inspecting it.
