If the unit has a venting system, the manufacturer has paid lots of money to make sure the vent products are being vented to the outside. You may find a UL or AGA stamp on the rating of the heater proving it passed the test. It does not account for any installation errors or any deterioration of the venting system over time and you should have your system checked every year. If the unit is vent-less, you can be assured that you are breathing in all sorts of toxic byproducts. A CO detector is a very inexpensive investment for your safety

Come on Robert give us more info to go on! Is this clicking coming from a control? Or is it coming from the heat exchanger. Maybe you can help me to help you!

The banging could be a sign of a failing gas valve or an indication of an air adjustment. The best efficiency you can get out of this heater is about 65%. The best thing is to replace it with a Rinnai ES32 which will give you 82% efficiencies (read, less money to run if you pay the gas bill).

wont stay lit

Many pilot issues of various sorts that I see are caused in some way by the thermocouple. The thermocouple senses the heat from the pilot to prevent the pilot from running gas into the room without it being lit. If the pilot is dirty (the flame will appear small or irregular) it will barely heat the thermocouple and may go out. If the thermocouple has come loose and isn't correctly placed, it also will not heat correctly. If the thermocouple is ok, I would suspect your gas valve. Let me know if you need more help with this. Good luck.

i had this problem a couple years ago and I had to scape where the flame lights and reset at the fuse box and it worked good luck
