Draughts around an atmospheric-vent heater blow out pilots and disturb combustion, and a heater tucked next to an outside door often suffers for that reason alone.
Owners can flush the tank periodically and keep the area clear. Venting, burner and gas control work must be done by a qualified technician, and a corroded vent connector should be treated as urgent.
