Pilot Assembly Replacement in Aubrey, TX

Classic weak-thermocouple behavior. The pilot lights fine, but the thermocouple no longer generates enough millivolt output to hold the gas valve's safety magnet open, so the instant you stop holding the knob down as an override, the valve snaps shut. We put a meter on it — a healthy thermocouple reads around 25-30 mV open-circuit — and swap the failed proving part on the ignition you already have. For this exact symptom, that's the fix we make most often.

One is a parts swap, the other is construction. Here we replace a worn component on your existing ignition — the thermocouple, thermopile, igniter, or pilot hood that finally aged out — without touching how the fireplace lights. Pilot light installation is the opposite case: building a whole new system where nothing works. When the architecture is sound and a single part has died, you're on the right page.

Because nine times out of ten the culprit is the inexpensive proving part, not the valve itself. A dropping pilot usually traces to a weak thermocouple, which this service fixes; less often it's a valve magnet that won't hold even with a healthy millivolt signal, and that's valve work. Metering the thermocouple output and checking the valve's hold tells us which one to replace — and we rule out a clogged orifice or a stray draft before touching either.

Swapping the thermocouple only helps if the sensor was the actual problem. A clogged pilot orifice, a draft blowing the flame off the sensor tip, low gas pressure, or a tired valve magnet will all keep the pilot dropping out with a brand-new part in place. That is why our crew re-reads the millivolt output after the swap and adjusts the flame so it fully wraps the sensor, and when the hood and orifice are worn along with it, we replace the whole hood-and-thermocouple assembly instead of just the single piece.
