Checking the pilot light on your water heater is an important safety measure that can help prevent gas leaks and fires. The pilot light is a small flame that ignites the gas burner when you turn on the water heater. If the pilot light goes out, the water heater will not be able to heat water.
There are a few simple steps you can follow to check the pilot light on your water heater. First, locate the pilot light assembly. This is usually a small metal box with a glass window on the front. Inside the box, you will see the pilot light.
