Common Vulcan faults

Vulcan heater playing up? We'll find out why.

Most Vulcan problems start small: a pilot that won’t stay lit, a fan that rattles, a room that takes longer to warm up. These are the faults we fix most often, and what usually causes them.

Pilot or burner won't stay lit

A pilot that goes out, or a burner that lights and drops out, usually has a worn thermocouple, a dirty pilot or a failing gas valve. We find the cause and fix it.

Not heating like it used to

A heater that runs but doesn’t warm the room is often clogged with dust, has a tired fan or a thermostat that has drifted. We clean and test it properly.

Smells, soot or headaches

A gas or fume smell, soot around the heater, or feeling unwell when it’s on are warning signs. Turn the heater off, open the windows and book a carbon monoxide test.

Noisy fan or rattling

Humming, rattling or squealing means a worn fan motor, loose panels or dust build-up. Cleaning or replacing the fan usually sorts it out.

Not sure what's wrong? Book a check and we'll tell you.

When to service

Service your Vulcan heater before the rush.before winter.

The best time for a Vulcan gas heater service is before you need it. A check ahead of the cold weather catches a worn thermocouple or a blocked flue before the first cold snap, when everyone is calling at once.

Every service includes a carbon monoxide test, and you get a written report at the end.

Here to Help

Get the clarity you need

How often should a Vulcan gas heater be serviced?

At least every two years, and every year for an older heater. Each service should include a carbon monoxide test.

Do Vulcan gas heaters need a carbon monoxide test?

Yes. Any gas heater can produce carbon monoxide if it isn’t burning or venting properly, and older open-flued heaters such as the Vulcan Heritage should be tested at every service.

My Vulcan heater pilot won't stay lit. What's wrong?

The usual causes are a worn thermocouple, a dirty pilot or a draught blowing it out. If it won’t stay lit after a couple of tries, leave it off and book a check.

Is it safe to keep using an old Vulcan wall furnace?

It can be, if it’s serviced regularly and passes a carbon monoxide test. If it fails, or parts are no longer available, we’ll tell you plainly and price a replacement.

How long does a Vulcan heater service take?

About an hour for most wall furnaces and space heaters, including the carbon monoxide test. Ducted heating takes a little longer.

Do you service Vulcan air conditioners as well?

Yes, where parts are still available. Older Vulcan air conditioners and evaporative coolers can often be serviced and kept running.

Should I repair or replace an old Vulcan heater?

If the heater is under about ten years old and the fault is minor, a repair is usually worth it. For older heaters facing a big repair, we’ll give you both prices so you can decide.

Are you an official Vulcan service agent?

No. All Good is an independent heating and cooling company and isn’t affiliated with Vulcan. Our licensed technicians service, repair and install Vulcan heaters across the range.
