Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Why does my pilot light keep going out in Altoona?
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.
Do I need to fill out a form before getting help?
No. Call (877) 823-0233 directly — there's no online form or waiting period before you're connected toward local help.
How fast can someone get to my home in Altoona?
Response time depends on current demand and technician location, but no-hot-water calls are generally treated as a priority. Call (877) 823-0233 directly to check current availability.
