Pilot Light and Ignition Repair in Houston, TX

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 Houston, TX 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 Houston, TX.

Talk to a real person
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.
Why are my radiators cold at the top?
Air is trapped in them. Bleed each radiator with a radiator key until water runs steadily, then check the boiler pressure and top it up if needed.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year, ideally before the heating season. Steam boilers with a float type low-water cutoff also need regular blowdown through the winter.
Can I convert my oil boiler to gas in Houston, TX?
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.
Do you handle steam boilers in older buildings?
Yes. Reliable Boiler Service connects owners with technicians who work on one-pipe and two-pipe steam, including air vents, pressuretrols, sight glasses and low-water cutoffs.
