Is Your Boiler Pilot Light Out? Getting to the Bottom of Boiler Ignition Problems
There’s nothing quite like that sinking feeling when you turn up the thermostat, and nothing happens. Often, the culprit behind a cold house and no hot water is a problem with your boiler's ignition or pilot light. Whether it's a gas fire that just won't catch or a boiler that clicks but doesn't ignite, these issues are incredibly common, especially when the North East weather turns chilly.

Understanding Why Your Boiler Might Not Ignite
Boiler ignition and pilot light failures can happen for several reasons. For pilot lights, issues range from a blocked jet, a faulty thermocouple (the safety device that senses if the pilot is lit), or sometimes simply an interrupted gas supply. With electronic ignition systems found in most modern boilers, the fault could lie with the ignition electrode, the control board, or issues like low pressure or airlocks preventing the boiler from attempting ignition in the first place. It’s a chain of components that all need to be working correctly for your boiler to fire up safely.

Why You Need a Gas Safe Expert for Ignition Troubles
Attempting to fix a gas appliance yourself is not only dangerous but also illegal if you aren't Gas Safe registered. Gas systems involve combustible fuel and potentially harmful carbon monoxide. A professional Gas Safe registered engineer has the training, tools, and expertise to safely diagnose the exact cause of your ignition or pilot light problem. They can identify if it's a simple fix like cleaning a pilot jet, or a more complex issue requiring part replacement, ensuring the repair is done correctly and, most importantly, safely.
Our Approach to Fixing Your Boiler's Ignition
When you call Preferred Gas for an ignition or pilot light problem, you're getting a qualified, experienced engineer. We arrive promptly, equipped to carry out thorough diagnostics. We won't just relight the pilot; we'll investigate why it went out in the first place. We'll check the gas supply, inspect components like the thermocouple, ignition lead, electrode, and relevant safety devices, using our knowledge to quickly pinpoint the fault and propose the most effective, lasting repair.
