Pilot Light Installation
Reliable ignition, done safely
No pressure. No surprise fees. A clear price before any work starts.
A pilot light that works the first time, every time, is the heart of a dependable gas fireplace. Quick Chimney installs pilot light assemblies on gas fireplaces, inserts, log sets, and other gas appliances with a safety-first process from start to finish. Every installation is tested for proper flame, secure connections, and compliance with local codes before we call the job done.
Warning signs you need pilot light installation
Warning signs
- Your pilot light will not stay lit or never ignites at all
- The pilot flame is weak, flickering, or burning yellow instead of blue
- You smell gas near the fireplace when trying to light the pilot
- The existing pilot assembly is visibly corroded, bent, or damaged
- Your appliance was converted or repaired and now needs a matching pilot assembly
Why it mattersA pilot that won't light reliably makes the whole gas fireplace unreliable.
It depends on what we find — pilot light installation varies with your chimney's condition and access, so we don't publish a one-size-fits-all number.

Frequently asked questions
Can I install a pilot light assembly myself?
We do not recommend it. Pilot installation involves live gas lines, and a small mistake can cause leaks or unsafe combustion. A trained technician installs the assembly, tests every connection for leaks, and verifies the flame burns correctly, following local codes throughout.
How long does a pilot light installation take?
Most installations are finished in a single visit. The exact time depends on your appliance type and how accessible the gas valve and burner area are. Your technician will walk you through the timeline before any work begins.
What is the difference between a pilot light and electronic ignition?
A standing pilot keeps a small flame burning continuously so your fireplace can light on demand, while electronic ignition sparks the burner only when needed. If you are unsure which setup fits your appliance, we can assess it on site and explain your options in plain terms.
