Foreclosure Meter
Problem with Gas Water Heater?
My gas water heater is not working right. I just moved into this place and noticed no hot water. I read the instructions to light the pilot and set the temp. Burner fired up and a couple hours later I have hot water. Two days later I have no hot water again. On a side note: I tried to cook some pasta last night and my gas stove could not heat water to a boil. Not a huge stock pot, just a smaller 3 quart saucepan and it took 20 minutes to get small bubbles but it never got it to a rapid boil. I had the burner on the highest setting. So, is it possible that I have a problem with my gas supply? Or is it just a coincidence that both of these appliances just don’t work. This place was empty for a while. I think it was a foreclosure. When I moved in I had to contact that gas company and they had to put in a meter because the old one had been removed (by the gas company since it was vacant). Where do I start with trying to fix these problems? Should I call the gas company first?
The gas stove burners were lit, so I think there may be 2 different issues. Did the pilot light go out again on the water heater? If you are having to re-light the pilot light, it could be air in the gas line (doubt this IF the stove stayed lit during this time) or it could have a problem with the thermocouple. If it is staying light, the problem may be the thermostat control-the box on the outside of the heater where your temperature control knob and the button you push to light the pilot are located. Both of these repairs can be done by a D-I-Yer who follows proper safety precautions. As for the water on your stove not boiling, maybe that has more to do with the minerals in your water, I think it possible that could affect the boiling point. Maybe you should use filtered water for boiling. Also, I think barometric pressure affects the boiling point of water. I think higher pressure increases the temperature at which water boils. I could have this backwards, though.
