Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in Whittier, CA

Older boilers run a standing pilot with a thermocouple, which makes the small voltage the gas valve needs to stay open. A pilot that lights and then goes out when you let go of the knob is usually a weak thermocouple.

Newer boilers use a hot surface igniter or spark ignition, followed by a flame sensor that proves the burner lit. A sensor coated in oxide reads too low and the control shuts the gas off after a few seconds. You see the burner light, then die, then try again until the boiler locks out.

Reliable Boiler Service connects Whittier, CA homeowners with technicians who test these parts with a meter rather than swapping them at random: thermocouple millivolts, flame signal microamps, igniter resistance, gas pressure at the valve.

Smell gas? Leave the house and call your gas utility from outside first.

Pilot Light And Ignition Repair FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Pilot Light and Ignition Repair

Questions we hear most often about Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in Whittier, CA.

Talk to a real person
How long does a boiler last?
Cast iron boilers often run 20 to 30 years with yearly service. Wall-hung condensing boilers tend to have a shorter life and depend more on regular maintenance.
Should I repair or replace my boiler?
Repair makes sense for parts like igniters, circulators and zone valves. A cracked section, a leaking heat exchanger or a boiler where parts are no longer made usually points to replacement.
Why does my steam heat bang and hammer?
Banging usually comes from condensate trapped in a pipe that lost its pitch or a radiator tilted the wrong way. A pressuretrol set too high makes it worse.
What does a lockout code on my boiler mean?
The boiler tried to light several times and failed, so it shut itself off for safety. Note the code before resetting, since it narrows the cause down to ignition, flame sensing, venting or water pressure.
Can I convert my oil boiler to gas in Whittier, CA?
If gas service is available on your street, yes. The job includes a new boiler, a properly sized gas line, a vent or chimney liner, and removal or abandonment of the oil tank.
