Heater Not Working? Check These Common Issues First

Heater Not Working? Check These 3 Common Issues First When a heater stops working, it is easy to assume the heater itself has failed. But with catalytic heaters, that is not always the case. Many heater problems come from the setup around the heater, not the heater itself. Before replacing parts or calling the unit bad, start with the three most common areas: If one of these areas is off, the heater may not start correctly, may not stay operating, or may not perform the way it should. 1. Fuel and Gas Supply Issues Fuel supply is one of the

Why Is My Regulator and Valves Freezing Over?

When you see your regulator and valves freezing over, it is easy to blame the weather. In many natural gas applications, though, pressure drop, cold gas, and moisture usually create the freeze-up. Natural gas can cool quickly when it moves from high pressure to lower pressure. If moisture is present, that temperature drop can create frost, ice buildup, or hydrates around regulators, valves, pilots, chokes, and pipeline equipment. Cold weather can make the problem worse, but it is not the only cause. Large pressure drops can create freezing conditions even during warmer months. With the right heating solution, operators can manage

Beyond the Heater | What About the Pipes?

Pipe Packs protect the gas before it reaches the regulator. By warming upstream lines, they prevent freeze-ups, stabilize flow, and build stronger winter reliability. A simple, effective way to keep your system moving—even in harsh cold.
