Pilot light replacement is a critical maintenance task for gas-powered appliances such as water heaters, furnaces, and stoves. The pilot light is a small flame that ignites the gas burner when the appliance is in use. Over time, this component can become faulty or extinguished, leading to inefficient appliance operation or even posing safety risks. Replacing a malfunctioning pilot light ensures that your appliances operate safely and efficiently, providing consistent performance and preventing potential hazards like gas leaks.
