Gas Fireplace Pilot Repair
Relighting stubborn pilots and replacing thermocouples, thermopiles, and pilot assemblies so your gas fireplace ignites reliably and holds a steady flame.
Professional Gas Fireplace Pilot Repair in Asheville & Western NC
The pilot is the small standing or intermittent flame that ignites your main burner, and when it won't stay lit the whole fireplace goes cold. The usual culprits are a worn thermocouple or thermopile that can no longer generate enough current to hold the gas valve open, a clogged pilot orifice, spider webs or dust in the pilot hood, or a failing igniter. On propane systems especially, a weak pilot flame is a frequent seasonal complaint.
What's Involved
Steady Flame cleans and inspects the pilot assembly, tests the thermocouple and thermopile output under load, clears blocked orifices, and replaces the igniter or pilot hood when needed, all matched to your appliance and fuel type, whether natural gas or propane. As a licensed gas contractor, we also confirm the gas pressure and connections are correct, not just the flame. A properly serviced standing-pilot fireplace lights by hand and keeps producing heat during a power outage, which is why it's such valuable backup heat here.
