HOW TO LIGHT A GAS SPACE HEATER
Typical start up procedure for most gas space heaters. The brand in the video is Empire and it has an ignition button. Some heaters won't have this button and you will need to light manually.

Vinyl Railing Install Video
มุมมอง 130K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Video showing my installation of a straight hand rail section using TRX vinyl railing from a company called Polyrail. Hopefully my experience will help someone doing something similar. This is my first video attempt, so sorry if I left info out. Give me a like or subscribe if this is helpful and you want more videos!!

    Thank you for the video many older apartments in New England still have these heaters. Any idea as to why it would go out after a few days of already being on ? Also took much longer than usual for pilot to light.

    I got a question for ya. I’ve lighted pilots for years. That being said we have the next model down from this one. When I light the pilot it stays on but I’m still smelling gas. I contacted the landlord and they sent their maintenance man out and he sprayed soapy water around the black steel pipe and said it’s not leaking. Now I went to school for plumbing and when I smell gas I know something isn’t right. I never really messed around repairing these ya know. Do you happen to know what could be leaking because I’m smelling gas so I know there is a leak somewhere but they are stubborn and insist it’s not leaking smh lol. I thought maybe you had a couple ideas I could check out. Thank you

  • @seesea-sv3xw

    You should not turn out the pilot light over the summer with heaters like this. The pilot light keeps the heat exchanger from rusting/rotting out from the humidity in summer. The tiny bit of money you may save tuning off the pilot over the summer is not more than the cost of replacing the heater prematurely or having the heat exchanger rust out and leak CO2.

  • @JS-fh8ds
    @JS-fh8ds ปีที่แล้ว

    All these home videos of pilot relights do not cover any type of vent checks or flame characteristics. Both hand in hand for potential CO issues. That known silent killer usually around bedtime. Also no mentions of having CO detectors. Hey people out there, don’t be so stupid to think TH-cam channels are the end all.

      Yes that’s how it works. If this was their washer at their own house they would have paid a $150 appliance tech fee to show up too and have to pay their own water bill. A water bill which has a base fee regardless how much they use. There’s pros and cons to everything. I understand your comment, but there’s a lot that goes into it. Thank you for checking out the vid!

    I have an Empire heater at my summer home that my grandparents had put in 60 years ago ! It still works fine but uses a lot of propane … plus being 66 years old it’s not that easy to get down on the floor to light the standing pilot . I thought that the new heaters had igniter’s now … like on gas ranges
