Common Gas Water Heater Pilot Light Problems We Fix

Pilot light problems can arise for various reasons. Sometimes it's a simple matter of a blocked pilot jet, preventing the gas from flowing correctly. Other times, it could be a faulty thermocouple – the safety device that senses the pilot flame and keeps the gas valve open. We also see issues with drafts extinguishing the pilot light, or even problems with the gas supply itself. Whatever the cause, our engineers are equipped to identify and resolve the issue efficiently.
