  • If you have no hot water to your gas hot water system, you may find that the pilot light has gone out. This video gives slow clear instructions on how to re light the gas pilot light on your gas storage hot water system.
    If this does not work then may be more wrong than just the pilot light gone out.
    You will need to contact your gas technician or Moyle Plumbing & Gasfitting for more advice.

      Im a single mum also.
      Gas man came and replaced the meter and my hot water went out!!!
      I only realised a day later.
      No customer service to offer to ignite your gas services after they switch off your gas.
      So im out in the freezing cold pitch black and its been over 10 years since I had last ignited the hot water myself.
      This video refreshed me and helped me ignite it on my 3rd attempt.
      Thankyou. Feeling happy now.
      I called my ex husband but did not need him. He can stay away😅

    Great video - cheers - I have this exact unit. Just moved into the house and no hot water, but I know it had hot water a week ago. I think either I'm missing steps or the ignitor has gone. Can't hear gas at all. Time to call a profesional.

    • @Cheryl63100
      @Cheryl63100  9 месяцев назад

      Thank you for your reply.
      If you’re unable to light the HWS after following these directions, you need to seek help from a licenced gas fitter.
      If you have checked that you have gas in the bottles then you may have a failed component in the system that needs repair or replacement.

      If your tank has not been off & not heating for a couple of days or you have used all the warm water in the tank, it will need to re heat & this could take a couple of hours.
      If your tank is not heating & the burner is on then you will need to contact your local Gas Fitter.

      Hi, your hot water system will need a service by a licensed Gas Fitter.
