The Common Culprits Behind a Faulty Pilot Light

Pilot lights can be temperamental, and a few common reasons cause them to fail. These include a dirty pilot light assembly which can block the gas flow. A faulty thermocouple, which is the safety device that keeps the gas flowing once the pilot is lit, is another frequent issue. Sometimes, a simple draught can extinguish the pilot, especially in older models. In other cases, low gas pressure or a problem with the gas valve might be the cause. Whatever the reason, our engineers have the tools and knowledge to diagnose and fix it.
