Should the pilot light always be on in a gas furnace?

If you have an older gas furnace, your heating unit relies on a little blue flame known as a pilot light to ensure ignition of the burners. Water heaters, gas fireplaces and old gas stoves also often have similar pilot lights. Since the pilot light needs to remain active, your furnace is always consuming some gas.

Why does my gas wall heater keep shutting off?

1) Faulty Thermocouple. If your pilot light won't stay lit, the thermocouple is very likely the culprit. If the thermocouple fails to shut off the gas, all the gas flowing through the furnace could get into your home. The thermocouple safeguards against a catastrophic buildup of gas.

How do wall heaters work?

Wall furnaces are installed directly into the wall and vented out through the home in single-story homes, and through the ceiling in multiple story homes. Wall heaters produce heat through the wall heater and not a ducting system, so they will heat a small space quickly and maintain the heat in the room.

What does a thermocouple look like?

The thermocouple looks like a piece of metal tubing smaller than a soda straw. To find it, first locate the gas control box. This is the box that the main gas line enters, where you turn the gas on in the furnace. The other end of the thermocouple sits in the flame of the pilot light.

Why is my furnace not igniting?

If the furnace doesn't ignite when the thermostat calls for heat, it may be due to a faulty control module, faulty pilot burner, damaged spark electrode or loose connections to the control module. The hot surface ignition system uses an electronic heating element to ignite the gas burner.
