Why Does My Water Heater Keep Shutting Off?
Posted On: March 25, 2020
Stepping into a cold shower is not a pleasant way to start or finish your day. If you find yourself in this situation, there are many reasons as to why your water heater keeps shutting off.
For those who don't know, a water heater works by collecting cold water from the bottom, and then this water is heated either by gas or electricity and stored until needed. When the hot water is required, it travels through your home's hot water pipes to the faucet or appliance. When the water levels in the tank drop, it will refill and heat again.
So what are the reasons for your water heating shutting off?
Gas supply
If your water heater relies on gas, the pilot light will not stay lit if there is not enough gas. Check the valves to ensure they are open, and gas is getting to the light.
Dirty pilot light
An unmaintained water heater can result in a build-up around the pilot light. If enough grime has been building up, it could result in moving the adjustment knob that controls the size of the flame.
Bad electrical
This applies to electrical water heaters, electrical parts can wear out over time. A sign of bad electrical is when everything else is working, but the unit won't turn on. Sometimes the issue could be the thermostat or heating coil. Another sign for bad electrical is when the unit shuts down each time hot water is needed, this could be a breaker issue, and an electrician is required to fix the problem.
Thermocouple
The thermocouple detects when the pilot light is on if no heat from the light is detected, then the unit assumes the light is off and will shut down the gas. Dirt build-up is usually the cause of this. Regular maintenance will ensure this doesn't happen.
If you find that your water heater is running into any issues, contact the experts at Twintech. Our highly skilled technicians will come to your home, inspect your unit and make any necessary repairs or maintenance so that your showers and baths are warm again.

Work was performed in a clean and timely manner. The furnace and metal work was performed by the Twintech team (did not require separate contractor to do the metal work). Energy audit was arranged and promised rebates were received. The overall price was very competitive. We have recommended Twintech to several of our friends and family. Awesome job.

Grant and Greg installed a heating and AC system in our new Linwood post and beam home. Post and beam can be challenging structures for running ductwork and their high ceilings and open concept frequently frustrate efforts at balancing air flow and controlling temperatures. But these guys did it and did it right the first time. Even the building inspector was impressed with what he saw. More importantly, the boys brought a high degree of trust and integrity to the job. Something in short supply these days.

I have used Twintech many times over the years. They always arrive quickly and get the issue fixed. The most recent incident was when my air conditioner broke last week I called Greg at 11:30am and he was at my home by 2:30pm he had the unit fixed by 3:30pm. Twintech are very reliable and honest and they are experts in the field. I have already recommended them to many of my friends. I would not use anyone but them for my heating and air conditioning issues.

I would highly recommend these guys, professional, fast and competitive pricing. I moved into this place with no working AC unit with a 8 month baby, he was able to come with in a week to fix even in the busy summer days. He really values his customers , I am already recommending to my neighbors.

Very impressed they arrive to quote even though I had forgotten to call them back to confirm date & time. They showed the day before installation to deliver the unit. Returned the next day as promised at 9am. Project was completed in a professional manner. They even fixed a few things that they noticed were not installed correctly, or to code by previous heating & air contractors we had at our residence before. Would recommend this company to everyone!

Greg removed old oil furnace and oil tank from basement relocated new Napoleon propane furnace to allow duct work to be rerouted to a much more suitable location. Moved air conditioner to the new furnace. Dave recommended two available grants to assist with cost. They kept to their original quoted price which was substantially lower than a competitors for the same furnace and work. They completed the work as stated when stated and left the area clean and tidy. We are very pleased with the outcome.
