Measures inlet and manifold gas pressure to confirm the furnace is getting the fuel pressure it was designed for. Wrong pressure is a common cause of pilot failures.

What Our Pilot Light Repair Includes
Every Furnace Pilot Light Repair Severance CO visit covers the full diagnostic and the repair itself, plus the safety checks that make sure the furnace is burning clean.
Work order
Furnace Pilot Light Repair- Full Pilot Diagnostic: We test the thermocouple or flame sensor with a multimeter, check gas pressure with a manometer, and inspect the control board for fault codes. This is how we find the actual reason the pilot is failing instead of just relighting it.
- Component Replacement: If a thermocouple, flame sensor, igniter, or gas valve has failed, we replace it on the spot with a part matched to your furnace brand. Common parts for Carrier, Trane, Goodman, and Rheem ride on every truck.
- Pilot and Burner Cleaning: Dust, rust, and debris clog pilot orifices and burner ports over time. We clean both, which restores a steady flame and often fixes nuisance shutdowns without any parts at all.
- Combustion and Draft Test: We run a combustion analyzer at the flue and check the draft hood to confirm the furnace is venting properly. A pilot problem sometimes traces back to a blocked flue, and this test catches it.
- Temperature Rise Check: We measure the temperature rise across the heat exchanger and compare it to the data plate. If it is out of spec, we adjust airflow or flag a duct issue before it becomes a bigger problem.
- Written Summary: You get a written summary of what we found, what we replaced, and the readings we took. If something else needs attention down the road, it is on the page for you and any future tech.

Furnace Pilot Light Repair Severance CO Explained
A pilot light that will not stay lit is a symptom, not the problem. We test the parts, find the cause, and verify the fix through two full heating cycles before we leave.
Furnace Pilot Light Repair Severance CO is a diagnostic heating service that restores the standing pilot flame your gas furnace needs to ignite the burners. During a call, a technician checks the thermocouple or flame sensor, tests the gas valve with a manometer, inspects the control board, and confirms the pilot holds steady through a full heat cycle. Most standing-pilot furnaces run on natural gas or propane, and a weak flame is often the first sign of a failing safety component.
Severance sits at 4,800 feet in Weld County, where winter nights regularly drop below 10 degrees and propane furnaces in rural pockets work harder than most. When a pilot light keeps going out in Severance, Colorado, the cause is usually a dirty flame sensor, a cracked thermocouple, or a draft pulling the flame off the orifice. We see this most in older homes near the downtown core and in newer builds off County Road 23.

What Our Pilot Light Repair Process Looks Like
Every Furnace Pilot Light Repair Severance CO call follows the same five steps, whether it is a 20-year-old Bryant or a newer Lennox.
Tools and Methods We Use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Tests thermocouple millivolt output and flame sensor microamp signal. These readings tell us whether a safety component is actually failing or just dirty.
Reads oxygen, carbon monoxide, and flue temperature at the vent. Confirms the furnace is burning clean and venting properly after a pilot repair.
A dedicated tester for standing-pilot systems that gives a fast pass or fail on the thermocouple without pulling the assembly apart first.
Lets us look inside the heat exchanger and flue path without disassembly. Catches cracks and blockages that a visual check from outside would miss.

How Pilot Light Repair Works in Severance
Severance sits at about 4,800 feet in Weld County, and that altitude changes how gas furnaces behave. Standing pilots burn leaner up here, and a thermocouple that would last years at sea level can fail faster in the thinner air.
Downtown Severance
Older homes here often have standing-pilot furnaces that are 15 to 25 years old. Thermocouple and pilot assembly failures are the most common calls we run in this area.
Severance East
Newer construction on the east side tends to have high-efficiency furnaces with hot surface igniters. When those fail, the symptom looks the same as a pilot problem, but the fix is different.
County Road 23 corridor
Rural properties along this corridor often run propane, which is more sensitive to regulator pressure. Pilot failures here frequently trace back to gas pressure rather than the pilot parts themselves.

PhotoStanding Pilot Furnace Back Online
Before: A homeowner in downtown Severance woke up to a 55-degree house and a pilot that would not stay lit. The furnace was a 2004 Bryant standing-pilot unit. Two previous relight attempts had failed within hours.
After: We replaced the thermocouple, cleaned the pilot orifice, and set gas pressure to spec. The pilot held through two full heating cycles, and the house was back to 68 degrees within 90 minutes of our arrival.
Propane Furnace Pilot Stops Dropping Out
Before: A rural property off County Road 23 had a propane furnace losing its pilot every two to three days. The homeowner had been relighting it manually for three weeks and was ready to replace the furnace.
After: We found the propane regulator pressure was set for natural gas specs. After adjusting to the correct propane pressure and replacing the flame sensor, the pilot held for the rest of the season with zero dropouts.
Rental Unit Heat Restored Same Day
Before: A property manager in Eaton had a tenant without heat on a Friday afternoon in January. The furnace was a Goodman standing-pilot unit, and the pilot would light but die within seconds.
After: Our tech diagnosed a failed gas valve and a dirty flame sensor. We replaced both on the same visit, tested combustion, and had the unit heating again by 6 p.m. The tenant stayed in the unit over the weekend.
Pilot Light Problems We Fix in Severance
Most no-heat calls we run in Severance come down to one of a handful of pilot failures.
Pilot light will not stay lit
The furnace never fires, the house loses heat fast, and in a Severance cold snap pipes can freeze within hours.
Furnace pilot light keeps going out in Severance, Colorado
Intermittent pilot failures are the worst kind because the furnace works just long enough to make you think it is fine.
Furnace blowing cold air after pilot lights
The pilot lights and the burners fire, but the blower never comes on or runs constantly.
Furnace banging noise when pilot fires
A bang or boom at ignition means gas is building up before it lights.
Furnace leaking water near the pilot area
Water around a gas furnace usually means a condensation or flue issue, and it can rust out the heat exchanger if ignored.
Why Severance Homeowners Call Us

What Severance Customers Say
Pilot went out on a Sunday night and the house was down to 58 by morning. Called these guys at 7 a.m. and a tech was here by 10. Turned out to be a bad thermocouple and a dirty pilot orifice. He had both on the truck, had us running in under an hour, and showed me the combustion readings before he left. Fair price, no upsell.
Our propane furnace kept losing the pilot every few days. Two other shops just relit it and left. Severance Furnace Repair Pros actually tested the gas pressure and found it was set wrong for propane. Adjusted it, replaced the flame sensor, and we have not had a problem since. That was last winter.
I manage a few rentals around Weld County and pilot calls are constant in winter. These guys are the only ones I call now. They show up when they say, they diagnose properly instead of guessing, and they send me a written summary of what they found. Makes my job a lot easier.

The three most common causes are a worn thermocouple, a dirty flame sensor, and a draft pulling the flame away from the orifice. In Severance, high-altitude air and cold return drafts make the third one more common than most homeowners expect. A technician can test each in about 20 minutes and tell you which one is failing.
