Wall Heater Repair in Los Angeles
Many Los Angeles homes and apartments rely on a wall heater as their main heat. When it quits, the whole room stays cold. We repair gas and electric wall heaters and tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense.
Common Wall Heater Problems We Fix
Call us if your wall heater:
- Won’t light, or the pilot keeps going out
- Runs but the room stays cold
- Smells like burning for more than the first half hour of the season
- Shows a large, unsteady yellow flame
- Makes clicking, humming, or rattling noises
- Is an electric unit that stays cold or trips the breaker
A short dusty smell on the first cold night is normal. A flame that looks yellow and lazy is not. SoCalGas lists that as a carbon monoxide warning sign. Turn the heater off and call us.
Gas Wall Heaters vs. Electric Wall Heaters
Gas wall heaters fail most often at the pilot, thermocouple, or burner. Electric wall heaters usually need a new heating element, thermostat, or breaker fix. Either way, a technician inspects the unit and gives you a price before any work starts.
What Wall Heater Repair Costs
According to Angi, most wall heater repairs cost $50 to $800. Simple jobs like a thermocouple swap sit near the low end. Angi lists a new gas wall heater at $500 to $1,400 installed. Those are national ranges, not our prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my wall heater needs repair?
If your unit isn’t heating your space adequately, is running continuously, or is making unusual clicking, humming, or rattling noises, it may need attention. We can inspect it to determine the issue and get it safely back to peak performance.
How often should I schedule wall heater maintenance?
We recommend scheduling maintenance once per year, ideally before the start of the heating season. This helps keep it running efficiently, ensures proper safety checks are done, and prevents unexpected issues when you need the heat the most.
What does wall heater maintenance include?
We perform a thorough safety inspection, clean the unit to remove dust and debris (which can be a fire hazard), inspect the heating elements or burners, check the thermostat’s accuracy, and ensure all electrical connections and safety controls are running smoothly.
Will regular maintenance help lower my energy bills?
Yes! A properly maintained and cleaned wall heater operates more efficiently because it doesn’t have to work as hard to heat your space. This reduces energy waste and helps you save money on your utility bills over time.
What if my wall heater is too old to repair?
If repairs aren’t the best or most cost-effective option—especially if the unit is very old or a potential safety concern—we’ll give you honest advice about the next steps and help you explore modern, energy-efficient replacement options.
How much does wall heater repair cost?
Most wall heater repairs cost $50 to $800, according to Angi. Simple pilot or thermocouple fixes sit near the low end. We give you an upfront price before any work begins.
Why is my wall heater not working?
Common causes are a pilot that went out, a worn thermocouple, dirty burners, or a bad thermostat. Electric units often have a burnt heating element or a tripped breaker. A technician can find the exact cause.
Do you repair electric wall heaters?
Yes. We repair gas and electric wall heaters. Electric wall heater repair usually means a new heating element, thermostat, or breaker fix.
Why won't my wall heater pilot stay lit?
A worn or dirty thermocouple is the most common cause. It shuts off the gas when it can’t sense the pilot flame. This is usually one of the more affordable repairs.

Commitment to Integrity and Respect
I'm very glad I hired this company to do the job and highly recommend this company.
I had a great experience with Reliable Home Comfort, Edison came over the same day since he was in the area and gave me a fair estimate. I replaced the entire system including ducts, the crew was very professional and polite, entire job was done in 2 days. Workers left the job site very clean and explained new system in detail. I'm very glad I hired this company to do the job and highly recommend this company.

Extremely professional, reliable, punctual and communicative.
I have received a few different quotes, but to be completely honest when I had a consultation with Edison I felt like he cared to advise me what to do the best to his ability and I trusted him. The process was easy forward and smooth.
I could not be happier with the results. We installed 3 units total.
The system was up and running ahead of schedule and has been working perfectly since. Everyone was friendly, and the workmanship really shows.
Another thing that stood out to me was the upfront planning by Edison, the owner. He was the only contractor that I spoke to, who did a proper Manual-J heat load calculation, taking the time to measure the rooms and design a system specifically for our home. That attention to detail gave me a lot of confidence in the installation, and it’s clearly paid off.
The price was on the higher end, but still within the range of other quotes—and absolutely worth it for the quality and peace of mind.
I truly think they are the best in the business.
Customer service is A+. They stand behind their work.
Reliable Home Comfort is an extremely professional and "reliable" contractor.
