Essex questions
Common causes are a worn thermocouple, a dirty pilot assembly, or a draft problem pulling the flame out. In older Essex homes, venting into an old chimney can cause poor draft. We test each of these, fix what failed, and tell you if the venting needs attention.
Pilot, thermocouple or igniter usually takes about 1 to 2 hours, and electric element or thermostat takes about 1 to 2 hours. Essex is about 10 minutes from our shop, so the drive adds little to your visit. We confirm the time with you when you book.
Sediment has built up on the bottom of the tank. Water trapped under it boils and pops as the burner or element heats. A flush can help if the tank is not too old. On older tanks, heavy sediment can mean the tank is close to the end of its life.
