Common Reasons Your Gas Water Heater Pilot Light Won't Stay On (and How We Fix Them)
A pilot light that repeatedly goes out isn't just annoying; it's a sign something is wrong. Common culprits include:
- Dirty Pilot Jet: Debris can block the gas flow to the pilot light.
- Faulty Thermocouple: This safety device senses the pilot light and allows the main burner to ignite. If it's failing, it will shut off the gas supply.
- Drafts: A strong draft can blow out the pilot light, especially in older units.
- Gas Supply Issues: Low gas pressure or a problem with the gas valve can prevent the pilot light from staying lit.
Our engineers will thoroughly inspect your water heater to pinpoint the exact cause and provide a lasting solution. We are experienced in solving all types of gas water heaters problems.
