Get Your Mobile Home Water Heater Repaired Today By Water Heaters Today LLC
Repairing a mobile home water heater isn’t like fixing a standard residential unit. These are HUD-Specified Sealed Combustion appliances. If a “handyman” tries to fix it with standard parts, they can void your insurance or create a Carbon Monoxide hazard.
In Las Vegas, the most common issue with mobile home water heaters isn’t the tank itself – it’s the Air Intake System. The desert dust clogs the intake screens under the unit, suffocating the flame and tripping the safety switch.
Water Heaters Today LLC is your local expert for these specific diagnostics. We don’t just relight the pilot; we clean the combustion chamber and the flame arrestor to ensure the unit can breathe. We don’t waste time; we carry the specific convertible gas valves and thermocouples (often with different thread pitches than standard units) to get your hot water back on in one trip.
Signs Your Mobile Home Water Heater Needs Repair
Mobile home units are compact and work hard. If you notice these signs, call a specialist immediately. Using a malfunctioning gas unit in a small space is a serious safety risk.
Signs could easily be:
- Pilot Light Won’t Stay Lit: This is the #1 complaint. It usually means the fresh air intake is clogged or the thermocouple has failed.
- Soot or Black Carbon: If you see black soot around the burner access panel or the roof jack, your heater is burning “rich” (dangerous) and needs immediate service.
- Yellow Pilot Flame: The flame should be crisp blue. Yellow indicates a lack of oxygen or a dirty orifice.
- Rumbling/Popping: Sediment has built up in the smaller 30 or 40-gallon tank, overheating the bottom.
- Whistling Noises: Air is struggling to get into the combustion chamber through a blocked screen.
How We Repair Your Mobile Home Water Heater
Our repair process is strictly governed by HUD safety standards (Title 24 CFR 3280).
- Intake Cleaning: We mechanically clean the base ring filter and flame arrestor to restore proper airflow without violating the sealed combustion chamber.
- Roof Jack Inspection: We check the venting stack (Roof Jack) on your roof to ensure it hasn’t separated or collapsed, which is common in high winds.
- Gas Valve Diagnostics: We test the Honeywell or White-Rodgers valve to ensure it is regulating pressure correctly for Propane or Natural Gas.
- Burner Assembly Service: We remove and clean the entire burner assembly to remove rust and debris that falls from the flue.
We Are Committed to Keeping Your Mobile Home's Water Heater Properly Working
At Water Heaters Today, we refuse to cut corners on safety. Our team understands that mobile home water heaters must draw air from outside the home. If we find a unit that has been tampered with (e.g., door removed to “get more air”), we will flag it as a safety hazard.
We use only OEM Manufactured Housing parts. Standard water heater parts often do not fit or function safely in these specialized units. With our expertise, your mobile home water heater in the Las Vegas Valley will operate safely and efficiently. If you smell gas or see soot, call the pros who know the HUD code.

Have Any Questions?
The most common reason in Las Vegas is a clogged air intake. Mobile home units are “Sealed Combustion,” meaning they pull air from under the floor or through the roof. If the intake screen gets clogged with dust or pet hair, the safety system chokes the flame to prevent a fire. We can clean this for you.
No. Mobile home water heaters use specific gas valves and burner assemblies designed for sealed combustion. Using a standard thermocouple or gas valve from Home Depot is dangerous and illegal, as it violates the HUD safety listing of the appliance.
Yes. We know many mobile home parks in the valley use Propane. We carry the specific pressure test kits to ensure your propane unit is burning at the correct water column pressure, which is different from Natural Gas.
Usually, no. Mobile home units have a shorter lifespan than standard units due to their compact design and higher heat stress. If the tank is leaking or the repair exceeds $300, we generally recommend replacement with a new HUD-approved unit, as safety standards have likely improved since yours was installed.
We respect the unique engineering of manufactured homes. While other plumbers might try to force a standard fix on a specialized unit, we follow the HUD Code. We know how to navigate the tight closets, check the Direct Vent systems, and ensure your family is safe from carbon monoxide. We bring the right parts and the right knowledge to keep your home safe and your showers hot.
