Pilot Light Installation

Pilot light installation fits a pilot assembly on a gas fireplace that does not have a working one. The pilot is the small flame, or the ignition source, that lights the main burner.

The work

What is pilot light installation?

The existing valve, the thermocouple or sensor, and the gas supply at the fireplace are checked so the new pilot matches that system. A pilot is not installed on a line that leaks or on a valve that will not shut off. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility or emergency services before you call A1.

A pilot that is there but will not stay lit may be a gas fireplace repair instead of a new installation.

Why it matters

Why this work matters

Without a working pilot or igniter the main burner does not light, and people sometimes leave gas flowing while they try. The installation puts a working ignition on a system that can hold it.

The venting is checked too. A pilot that lights a burner into a blocked flue is not a finished job.

What to expect

What to expect

The fireplace controls are identified, the pilot and the price are explained, and the work waits for approval. If you smell gas, leave first.
