Common Pilot Light Problems We Fix in Whitburn Homes

Pilot lights can go out or become erratic for a number of reasons. Some of the common issues we encounter in Whitburn homes include:

  • Dirty Pilot Burner: Dust, debris, and carbon deposits can build up, affecting the flame.
  • Faulty Thermocouple: This safety device senses the pilot flame and shuts off the gas if it goes out.
  • Gas Supply Issues: Low gas pressure or a blockage in the gas line.
  • Drafts: Strong drafts can blow out the pilot light.
  • Old or Damaged Components: Wear and tear on the pilot assembly.
    We'll thoroughly inspect your water heater to pinpoint the exact cause and carry out the necessary repairs.
