A gas wall heater is dangerous if it is leaking gas or gets mishandled, and even more so if electricity is involved too. If you are looking to repair your heater, you will need the relevant skills to determine what is wrong, first. Here are a few tips.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Step1
Turn off the gas and power to the house.
Step2
Determine your problem. Is the heater leaking gas? Not heating? Is it noisy? Is the pilot light out? Is the thermostat broken?
Step3
Perform an Internet search for your specific problem, or call PG&E or your local gas company for advice. You can also call a service number, usually found on the furnace somewhere.
