Understanding the Common Causes of Gas Water Heater Pilot Light Problems

Pilot lights can go out for various reasons. Common culprits include a build-up of dirt and debris on the burner, a faulty thermocouple (which senses the pilot flame and allows gas to flow), a blocked pilot light orifice, or even a draught blowing out the flame. Low gas pressure can also be a contributing factor. Our engineers are skilled at identifying the root cause of the issue to provide a lasting solution.

Avoid DIY Gas Repairs - Call a Gas Safe Registered Engineer

It’s crucial to use a Gas Safe registered engineer like Preferred Gas to ensure the work is carried out safely and complies with all regulations.
