Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my pilot light keep going out in Oak Lawn?
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.
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 areas around Oak Lawn does HotFlow cover?
Coverage extends through Oak Lawn and surrounding the surrounding region. If you're near but not sure you're inside the service area, call (877) 823-0233 to confirm.
Is HotFlow the company that repairs the water heater?

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.
