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.
