Experiencing Pilot Light Problems with Your Gas Water Heater in Hexham? We Can Help
Is your gas water heater pilot light refusing to stay lit, or is it behaving erratically? A faulty pilot light can disrupt your hot water supply and, more importantly, signal a potential safety issue. Preferred Gas offers expert gas water heater pilot burner repair services in Hexham and throughout the NE postcode areas. Our Gas Safe registered engineers are equipped to diagnose and fix all types of pilot light problems, ensuring your system operates safely and efficiently. We know how inconvenient it can be when you don't have hot water, and we strive to get your system back up and running as quickly as possible.
Common Gas Water Heater Pilot Light Issues We Resolve
Pilot light problems can stem from various underlying causes. We commonly see issues like:
- Dirty pilot burner: Dust, debris, or carbon build-up can obstruct the gas flow and prevent the pilot light from staying lit.
- Faulty thermocouple: The thermocouple is a safety device that senses the pilot light flame and allows the main gas valve to open. If it fails, the pilot light will extinguish.
- Blocked pilot light orifice: A blockage in the small opening (orifice) that supplies gas to the pilot light can restrict gas flow.
- Gas supply issues: Low gas pressure or a problem with the gas valve can affect the pilot light.
- Drafts: Strong drafts can sometimes blow out the pilot light.
Whatever the cause, our experienced engineers will conduct a thorough inspection to identify the root of the problem and provide a reliable solution.

The Importance of a Properly Functioning Pilot Light
A properly functioning pilot light is essential for the safe and efficient operation of your gas water heater. It ignites the main burner when hot water is needed, and it also plays a crucial safety role. If the pilot light goes out unexpectedly and the gas valve remains open, it can create a dangerous gas leak. Regular servicing and prompt repairs are vital to prevent such risks.
