Affordable, Efficient Pilot Assembly Replacement Services

Pilot Assembly Replacement is one of the most common repair services for gas fireplaces, including gas logs and direct vent units. The pilot assembly serves as the ignition source for the burner, allowing your fireplace to Assembly safely and efficiently. Over time, components of the pilot assembly can wear out or malfunction, preventing the pilot light from igniting or staying lit.

At Nexus Chimney Services, we specialize in diagnosing and replacing pilot assembly’s, ensuring your gas fireplace operates reliably and safely.

How Does a Pilot Assembly Work?

The pilot light is a small flame that remains lit, ready to ignite the main burner when the fireplace is turned on. It consists of several key components:

  • Thermocouple or Thermopile: These components detect the flame and signal the gas valve to stay open, allowing the pilot Assembly to remain lit.
  • Pilot Assembly: Includes the flame jet and ignition mechanism.
  • Control Valve: Regulates the flow of gas to the pilot Assembly and burner.

If any of these components fail, the pilot light may not ignite or stay lit, causing the fireplace to stop functioning.

  • The pilot light ignites but doesn’t stay lit.
  • The burner won’t turn on even though the pilot light is lit.

  • Persistent gas odor near the fireplace.
