Eric the Heater GuyHeater-side electrical diagnosis and repair is my work. New circuits, panel work, or anything upstream of the heater's junction box belongs to a licensed electrician — I'll document exactly what's needed and coordinate it so you're dealing with one point of contact.

Common Infratech failures we fix
Electric diagnostics are a different trade — no gas, no pilot. It's elements, connections, and controls. Here's what I'd be checking on a service visit.
- Element not heating
Likely area: the element itself, or the circuit feeding it.
What I'd check on a visit: the circuit before touching the heater. A dead element doesn't always mean a dead heater — if the housing and controls are sound, an element swap is the smart fix.
When parts may be needed: correct-spec replacement elements.
- Partial heat / dead zones
Likely area: wiring and controls across multi-element installs.
What I'd check on a visit: the whole chain, not just the cold unit — multi-heater installs with zone controls add failure points.
When parts may be needed: wiring components and zone controls.
- Control issues
Likely area: switches, dimmers, and smart controls.
What I'd check on a visit: whether the heater is fine and the control is lying — traced end to end.
When parts may be needed: switches, dimmers, and control modules.
- Mounting & alignment
Likely area: wall and ceiling mounts.
What I'd check on a visit: mount security and aim — a heater pointed at the sky heats the sky.
When parts may be needed: mounts and brackets.
- Burning smell, scorching, or a tripping breaker
Kill power to the unit and call.
Electrical faults get priority handling — call (818) 590-5952 directly. Don't keep resetting the breaker.

Common questions
My Infratech isn't heating — what's usually wrong?
Usually the element, the controls, or the wiring feeding them. I test the circuit before touching the heater — a dead element doesn't always mean a dead heater, and an element swap is often the smart fix.
Does repair void the Infratech warranty?
No — when done with correct parts and procedure. We'll confirm warranty position before any work.
Do you service commercial Infratech installs?
Yes — restaurants, hotels, and residential. Multi-unit properties welcome.
