At Water Heaters Only Inc, in our 56 years in business, we’ve had the opportunity to deal with almost every water heater problem. From the most common water heater problems, like pilot light issues, to the far fetched bird’s nest in the vent mystery. Anything blocking the vent can cause problems with heating and carbon monoxide back drafting.
We found this bird’s nest in the upper vent that was shared with a furnace vent after a customer complained of having to relight their pilot light frequently. Once onsite, we tested all the water heater components and could not find any faulty parts. At that point, we decided to check to see if the unit was venting properly and noticed that is was barely drafting. We decided to explore the venting system and we found this lovely bird’s nest blocking the vent. After removing the nest and replacing a piece of the venting, the water heater worked well and the customer no longer had trouble with the pilot light going out.
Sometimes a problematic water heater is not a problem with the water heater at all, but the conditions around it that are causing the issues.
