FAQs
Why won’t my furnace’s pilot light stay lit?
A pilot light can go out because of a faulty thermocouple, dirty burner assembly, improper gas pressure, or drafts blowing the flame out. Our Jellico technicians will inspect and clean the burner, test the thermocouple for proper voltage, confirm gas pressure, and correct any ventilation issues to keep the flame stable.
Is it safe to relight the pilot light myself?
If you smell gas or are unsure about the relighting procedure, turn off the gas supply and call a professional. Modern furnaces have specific safety controls, and following the wrong steps can cause gas buildup and potential fire hazards. Our certified techs in Jellico can safely relight or repair the system for you.
How much does pilot light repair cost in the Jellico area?
Typical costs range from $90–$250, depending on whether the issue is a simple relight, thermocouple replacement, or cleaning. We provide up-front estimates after diagnosis, and all work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee and local parts availability.
Can a malfunctioning pilot light increase my utility bills?
Yes. A weak or frequently extinguishing pilot light can prevent the furnace from operating efficiently, causing longer run times and higher gas usage. Fixing the pilot light restores proper ignition and combustion, which can reduce monthly energy costs.
How often should I have my heating system inspected?
We recommend an annual pre-season inspection each fall. This includes checking the pilot light, burners, heat exchanger, and safety controls. Regular maintenance improves efficiency, extends equipment life, and reduces unexpected breakdowns during Jellico’s colder months.
