Common Pilot Light Problems We Fix

Pilot lights can go out for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common issues we deal with include:

  • Blocked pilot light orifice: Dust, debris, or carbon deposits can clog the pilot light, preventing it 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's faulty, it won't detect the flame and will shut off the gas supply.
  • Drafts: Strong drafts can blow out the pilot light, especially in older models.
  • Low gas pressure: Insufficient gas pressure can prevent the pilot light from staying lit.
  • Faulty gas valve: A malfunctioning gas valve can prevent the pilot light from receiving enough gas.
    No matter what the cause, our skilled engineers will accurately diagnose the problem and carry out the necessary repairs to get your hot water flowing again.
