Confirm the Basics

Heaters are picky about flow and safety conditions. If the filter is dirty or valves are set wrong, the heater may refuse to fire.

  • Check filter pressure and overall flow
  • Confirm thermostat setpoint and mode
  • Look for error codes and do not ignore them

When to Stop and Call

Gas smell, repeated ignition attempts, or persistent error codes are not DIY territory. Shut down and call for service to avoid damage or risk.
