Wall Heaters

Protecting your home and family starts with a safe heating system, and annual wall heater inspections are vital to ensure safety, as venting problems can occur. This minor issue can lead to a dangerous buildup of carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. CO forms when fuels such as natural or liquefied petroleum gas, oil, wood, coal, and others burn incompletely.

You need to take this silent killer seriously. Regular, professional maintenance is non-negotiable for any fuel-burning appliance.

Why Wall Heater Issues Happen When You Need Them Most

At California Air Conditioning Systems, Inc., we know from experience: wall heater issues happen when the weather turns cool and you need heat the most. As temperatures drop, we see a surge in calls for wall heater cleaning and repairs. Often, the gas company visits to light the pilot for a customer's wall heater.

If the heater fails to ignite safely, it is "tagged." This "red tag" is an official notice that the wall heater must not be used again until it has been inspected and properly repaired by a qualified professional, signifying a serious safety hazard. It is a clear sign that you need immediate expert intervention.

Our Wall Heater Cleaning Work Process

To keep your wall heater safe and efficient, our thorough cleaning and inspection process ensures it stays that way. The job involves only a few steps, but each is delicate and must be performed with care:

  • We remove and clean the firebox to remove soot, dust, and dirt that can prevent the heater from burning fuel properly. We clean the heater exhaust flue to keep the pathway clear for combustion byproducts. This step also prevents dangerous carbon monoxide back-drafting.

  • We use specialized brushes and de-clogging tools to clean the vents and burner assembly thoroughly.

  • If our inspection reveals significant damage or safety failures, we recommend replacing the unit. A new model will be safe and energy efficient.

    • We are always objective in our approach, and that means we never recommend repairs or services you don't need.

    Why You Need Skilled Professionals for Wall Heater Repairs and Cleaning

    It's paramount that customers find professional, trusted HVAC contractors to perform this specialized work. While some duct cleaning companies may offer a superficial service, the skills required to safely repair, replace, and install completely new units are entirely different and demand licensed expertise. When it comes to gas wall heaters, everything must be done perfectly. If service is performed incorrectly, the consequences can be catastrophic: gas could leak, the scorching stainless steel of the heating element could be touching a flammable material within the wall cavity, or the vent top could be blown away, leading to exhaust spillage.

    Our certified, experienced technicians possess the specialized knowledge to diagnose issues, perform precise repairs, and meet strict safety standards. We guarantee your wall heater is safe and delivers consistent heat. Only a professional can provide the peace of mind that comes from knowing your heater's gas line, venting, and clearances are perfectly safe.
