wall heater pilot will not stay on?

Question by Robert M: wall heater pilot will not stay on?
installed a new thermocoupler and pilot stayed for about twenty minutes. during that time I tried to turn the heater on but nothing happened. I also jumped the thermostat wires to no avail.
After the twenty minutes the pilot does not stay on at all. Any help will be appreciated. Don’t tell me to call a seviceman.
If anything, I will replace the whole unit myself.

If you can’t figure out the pilot light without help, you definitely can’t repair the whole unit yourself. Call a repairman before you have to take a trip to the emergency room after the firemen put out the house fire.

Looking for advice on Electric Outdoor Patio Heaters (Wall Mounted)?

Question by EG: Looking for advice on Electric Outdoor Patio Heaters (Wall Mounted)?
I have an outdoor area behind a bar/restaurant about 10 feet wide by 30 feet long. I want to heat the area over the winter and do not want to deal with propane stand up heaters again. Does anyone have any recommendations for electric heater(s)that I can mount overhead? I know I may need to buy a few to heat the entire area. I have heard that standard 120v is a waste of time…that I must wire it with 240v. Any advice???

Answer by Controlfreak38
My advice is do not use electric NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!! They cost so much more to run than gas or propane. Get some wall mounted propane or gas radiant heaters like these.

The install cost will be higher but it will have a very short payback due to the LARGE cost savings to run them vs electric.

Q&A: My in-laws have an old wall heater in their hallway that needs replacing. Is this possible without upgrading?

Question by Dorburns: My in-laws have an old wall heater in their hallway that needs replacing. Is this possible without upgrading?
contacted sears and a couple of other repair services and they said they don’t do this.

Best answer:

Answer by sand in your shoe
Call your local supplier of oil, propane, or natural gas. They have trained professionals to either repair or replace the heaters.
Sometimes when things are “old”, they are also way too inefficient, and at that point it makes sense to get a new one.
Even though a new one might cost a few more bucks up front, you end up saving in the long run, because an efficient unit uses less fuel. And plus, you’ll feel safer knowing that its not going to conk out in the middle of the night and flood your house with carbon monoxide and kill everyone.
OH, by the way go buy yourself some carbon monoxide detectors while your out shopping for xmas presents.
Nothing says “happy holidays” better than in laws that are still alive and well.

Q&A: What is the wattage of a 42″ Toshiba Regza TV? How about a wall heater (found in apartments)?

Question by Anvera12: What is the wattage of a 42″ Toshiba Regza TV? How about a wall heater (found in apartments)?
I believe I’m being ripped of by my electric company. I know this winter’s been cold, but from a bill to a 6 bill is kind of outrageous. I can do the calculations myself (I’m a mechanical engineer) but can’t seem to find this information on the ‘net. Any help will be appreciated.
How about when you use 4 of the wall heaters, and then go to 1 heater to save on electricity and the bill goes up? To me, it sounds like there’s something wrong. Also, I live in a 2-bedroom apt. It’s just me- not there most of the day. And to me, it is really high, compared to my bf’s, which he pays like for this month (of course, it’s a different county).

Answer by mike1942f
6 for home heating is not outrageous. To start with you need to check the kilowatt hour rates for the periods you are comparing, mine jumped 20% last fall when a fixed rate period ended. You should be able to find the wattage of both on a plaque next to the power cord/electrical. Of course, with the TV, it may be against the wall. A small space heater is usually 15 amps or 1.8 kilowatt hours per hour of on time. A wall heater may be higher.
The owners manual, here http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/televisions/product.asp?model=42HL167 should have the data. Unfortunately, my attempts end when 346 of 376 Mb are done. Since it is an LCD with back lighting, I would guess 200-300 watts when on.

my polit light went out on my gas wall heater, where do I light it?

Question by Todd Enterprises, Inc. /: my polit light went out on my gas wall heater, where do I light it?
there is a red button that says pilot I know I push it in to light but where exactly do I put the match? also what color is the flame suppose to be?

Best answer:

Answer by Big_Prichard
There should be an opening towards the bottom of the heater, you want to get that open, look in there with a flashlight and you should be able to see the pilot. (It looks like a little tube; mine has two right next to each other, but only one is the pilot) You want to get a long match and light it with that.

The flame should be blue for the most part (when the pilot is lit)

Do i need the jumper wire in place?
Ok so now with just one wire white and one grey what letter are these suppose to be connected to? W Y G A or R/H R/C?

Best answer:

Answer by gizmoe
I assume your talking about the RH and RC jumper.
RH is the power for heating and RC is the power for cooling.
For heating only there is no need for the jumper but it wont matter either way.

Edit: Grey to RH and white to W

Glo-Warm model WMN20A wall heater pilot light burning incorrect flame?

Question by vinster: Glo-Warm model WMN20A wall heater pilot light burning incorrect flame?
I just bought this unit brand new and am using a correct size 100lb. propane tank with a regulator attached to the tank. The flame on pilot and main burner is too high. Can i adjust this? and how do i do it? I don’t see any pilot adjustments. Can it be the little plastic set screw on my regulator outside? How do i adjust THAT?? I know i can get an allen key and turn it in or out , but which way will give less pressure?

Best answer:

Answer by latenttraveler
For this heater to work correctly you need to adjust the gas pressure to 11 inches of water column with a manometer you should not just try to turn it down
This heater has an ODS (oxygen depletion sensor) type pilot and it will not work correctly if the pressure is off by very much.
One question that I was wondering about: are you sure the heater was made to use LPG, or is it made for natural gas. That would give you the problem you are describing.
BTW if you have to ask which way to turn the regulator perhaps you should be asking “should I’ rather than “how should I”
