Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my pilot light keep going out in Shady Side?
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 areas around Shady Side does HotFlow cover?
Coverage extends through Shady Side and surrounding the surrounding region. If you're near but not sure you're inside the service area, call (877) 823-0233 to confirm.
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.
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.
Do I need to fill out a form before getting help?
