Common Pilot Light Problems We Fix
Pilot lights don't just go out for no reason. There's usually an underlying issue causing the problem. Here are some of the common culprits we address:
- Dirty Pilot Burner: Dust, debris, and carbon deposits can clog the pilot burner, preventing the flame from staying lit.
- Faulty Thermocouple: The thermocouple is a safety device that senses the pilot flame and keeps the gas valve open. If it's faulty, it will shut off the gas supply.
- Gas Supply Issues: Low gas pressure or a blockage in the gas line can starve the pilot light of fuel.
- Drafts: Strong drafts can blow out the pilot light, especially in older models.
- Blocked Flue: A blocked flue can cause incomplete combustion, leading to pilot light problems.
