When the temperature drops, a functional heater becomes an absolute necessity. One of the most common issues that homeowners face with their furnaces is a pilot light that has gone out. This occurrence can prevent your heating system from functioning properly and cause discomfort in your home. Here at KNZ Heating & Cooling, we are committed to providing you with clear, step-by-step guidance on how to check if your furnace’s pilot light has gone out.
The first step involves removing the cover panel of the furnace. This panel may have screws that can be removed with a screwdriver. Be sure to place the screws in a safe place so they do not get lost.
Next, locate the pilot light. It should be near the bottom of your furnace. You may need a flashlight to see it clearly. The pilot light is typically a small blue flame.
Finally, check for a flame. If there is no flame, then the pilot light is out. If a small blue flame is visible, then the pilot light is functioning properly.
Several factors can cause your pilot light to go out. Some common issues are:
A pilot light going out occasionally is pretty common, and it may simply need to be relit. But if your furnace’s pilot light is going out repeatedly or without any obvious cause, it’s time to consult a professional.
