Common Boiler Pilot Light Problems We Solve in Hexham

Pilot lights can fail for a number of reasons, from a simple draft extinguishing the flame to more complex issues with the gas supply or thermocouple. Here are some of the common problems we address:

  • Blocked pilot light jet: Debris can clog the small jet that feeds gas to the pilot light, preventing it from staying lit.
  • Faulty thermocouple: The thermocouple is a safety device that shuts off the gas supply if the pilot light goes out. If it's damaged, it may not sense the flame and will cut off the gas even when the pilot is lit.
  • Drafts: Strong drafts can extinguish the pilot light, especially in older boilers.
  • Gas supply issues: A problem with your gas supply can also cause the pilot light to fail.
  • Ignition failure: Modern boilers often use electronic ignition instead of a pilot light. If the ignition system fails, the boiler won't start.
