• Corroded tanks or faulty pressure relief valves.

Gas Water Heaters

Gas systems (both storage and continuous flow) may experience:

• Pilot light or ignition failure due to a faulty thermocouple.
• Gas supply issues or blocked gas lines.
• Fluctuating water temperatures often caused by malfunctioning flow sensors.
• Error codes on modern instantaneous systems.

Solar systems may face circulation pump failure or faulty temperature sensors.

Even if you don’t know what’s wrong with your hot water system, Sharpe Trade Services will uncover the issue.
