Why a Faulty Pilot Light Needs Expert Attention

It might seem like a small issue, but a problem with your gas water heater's pilot light can indicate a more significant underlying problem. Attempting DIY repairs on gas appliances is never a good idea and can be incredibly dangerous. Gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and further damage to your appliance are all potential risks. Our Gas Safe registered engineers have the training and experience to identify the root cause of the problem, whether it's a simple blockage, a faulty thermocouple, or a more complex issue with the gas valve. We'll carry out the necessary repairs safely and effectively, giving you peace of mind.

Common Pilot Light Problems We Fix in Amble

We've seen it all when it comes to gas water heater pilot lights. Some of the most common problems we address include:

  • Pilot light won't light: This could be due to a blocked pilot light orifice, a faulty thermocouple, or a problem with the gas supply.
  • Pilot light lights but won't stay lit: This often indicates a faulty thermocouple that's not properly sensing the heat from the pilot flame.
  • Pilot light is weak or flickering: This could be caused by a dirty pilot light orifice, low gas pressure, or a problem with the flue.
  • Pilot light is yellow or orange: A healthy pilot light should be blue. A yellow or orange flame can indicate incomplete combustion and the presence of carbon monoxide.
    Whatever the issue, our experienced engineers will quickly diagnose the problem and carry out the necessary repairs.
