Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in Raleigh, NC

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 Raleigh, NC 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 Raleigh, NC.

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.
Is a combi boiler a good fit for my home in Raleigh, NC?
A combi suits homes with one or two bathrooms and a gas line big enough for its hot water demand. Larger households often do better with a heat-only boiler and an indirect tank.
Do condensing boilers work with old cast iron radiators?
They can, but they only condense when return water comes back cool. Outdoor reset control and properly sized radiators make the difference.
Are there rebates for high-efficiency boilers?
Many gas utilities and state energy programs offer rebates on qualifying condensing boilers. Terms change often, so check your utility's current program before you buy.
