    Default Heater Help


    I have 3 Mr Heater Big Buddy heaters that need to be serviced. Nothing major, just need to be cleaned. Not a good pilot. Does anybody know of someone that can service them in N. MS?

    Do it yourself....Blow them out with a air hose and brush the thermocouple tip off with a old tooth brush.

    They are a pain in the butt if you have to tear into them, blowing it out might help but I have had to tear into mine twice. What I get for leaving them in the stand all year, spiders tend to build next in them where the pilot is. I got one laying in a stand rite now that is torn all to pieces.

    When I put mine up in storage I put it in a garbage bag and tape it up....I still blow it out every year though and clean the thermocouple tip. No problems.
