Pilot Light Replacement in Maryland

Pilot lights have been a major component of gas furnace systems for nearly as long as people have been using gas to heat homes. The pilot is simply a small, roughly candle sized flame that serves to ignite the gas issuing from your primary burner. And though they tend to serve quite faithfully, pilot light troubles aren’t all that uncommon. If you’ve been having trouble with your gas furnace pilot, the team at GAC Services can provide fast, dependable repair services any time you need them!

Common Causes and Signs of Pilot Failure

There are a few issues that can trouble your pilot, and thankfully they’re all somewhat easy to spot. If you see any of these pilot light problems manifest, be sure to contact the experts at GAC right away to get the fast, accurate repair services you deserve:

• The flame of your pilot is the wrong color. Your pilot should pretty much always remain a light blue color. If the light is yellow, or a pale orange, there’s likely an imbalance in the ratio of air to fuel in your system. This can be quite dangerous, as a weak flame allows carbon monoxide to form; a highly toxic substance.
• Your pilot refuses to stay lit. Normally a pilot light is quite easy to light, and most gas furnace owners become proficient at it fairly quickly. But if your pilot light simply won’t light, or stay lit, you could need professional pilot light repair.
• Thermocouple malfunction. The thermocouple in your furnace is located quite near the pilot, and acts as a failsafe system when something with the pilot goes awry. If your pilot shuts off and refuses to relight, the issue is often a damaged thermocouple, or possibly one that has detected an unsafe problem within your furnace system.
