Why this matters in Farmers Branch
Farmers Branch pairs established 1960s-80s brick ranches in Brookhaven with the brand-new Mercer Crossing development. Older masonry shows freeze-thaw crown cracking and needs relining, while the new builds bring prefab cap-and-chase work. That local stock is exactly why our Farmers Branch crews tailor pilot light installation to the homes here — not a generic checklist.

Pilot Light Installation in Farmers Branch — FAQ
Standing pilot vs. electronic ignition — which should I get?
A standing pilot burns continuously, costing roughly $5-10 of gas a month, but it keeps working in a power outage and is simpler to service. Intermittent pilot ignition (IPI) only sparks when you call for flame, saving that fuel, but most IPI systems need power or a battery backup. If outage operation matters to you, standing pilot still wins.
How long does a pilot ignition install take?
One to two hours for a straightforward job. It runs longer if the gas valve has to be swapped to support the new ignition, or if the burner orifice and air shutter need re-tuning afterward. The starting price assumes an existing compatible valve.
Why does this need a licensed gas tech?
The work is on the gas valve and live fuel line, and a miscalibrated pilot flame won't fully engulf the thermocouple tip, which causes random shut-offs or, worse, a valve that doesn't prove flame correctly. Most jurisdictions also require the work be done by a licensed fitter for the warranty and insurance to hold.
Can I convert a standing pilot to electronic ignition?
Sometimes, if a retrofit module is listed for your specific valve and appliance. Many older millivolt valves can't accept one and have to be replaced entirely, which changes the economics. A tech confirms the valve model and gas type (NG vs. LP) before quoting, since orifices differ.
