Pilot Light Relighting Guidelines
Pilot light relightings are essential for maintaining safe and efficient operation of gas appliances. The optimal timing depends on usage patterns, seasonal changes, and appliance maintenance schedules. Regular inspections can identify when a relight is necessary to prevent malfunctions or safety hazards.
Relightings are often needed after periods of inactivity, such as during summer months when heating systems are not in use. Restarting appliances in fall or winter requires ensuring pilot lights are functioning properly.
Frequent use of gas appliances may necessitate more regular pilot light inspections and relights to maintain safety and efficiency.
Scheduled maintenance, typically annually or biannually, includes checking and relighting pilot lights to prevent issues and extend appliance lifespan.
Relightings should be performed when gas smells are detected or if the pilot light has gone out unexpectedly, to avoid gas buildup and potential hazards.
