Pilot Light Relighting Guidelines
Pilot light relightings are typically performed when the pilot light has gone out or is malfunctioning. The optimal time for relighting depends on various factors including seasonal changes, system usage patterns, and maintenance schedules. Regular inspections can help identify the best opportunities for relighting to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Relightings are often necessary after periods of inactivity, especially during seasonal transitions such as fall and spring when systems are turned off or used less frequently.
Frequent use during colder months may require more regular inspections and relightings to prevent issues caused by prolonged outages.
Scheduled maintenance can include pilot light checks and relightings to maintain system safety and performance.
Relightings should be performed when the area is well-ventilated and following proper safety procedures to prevent accidents.
