Pilot Light Installation in Pflugerville, TX

Building one. This service adds an ignition system where there's no working one — a unit built without a pilot, one whose pilot was removed, or a conversion to a new architecture. If your fireplace had a working pilot and a part died (it lights then drops when you release the knob), that's pilot assembly replacement instead — a part swap, not a build.

This is the core design choice of the install. 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 — we size the system to how you actually use the fireplace.

Building a new ignition means wiring the flame-proving interlock from scratch on a live fuel line — the circuit that won't let the valve hold gas open unless a flame is proven. A miscalibrated pilot flame that doesn't fully engulf the sensor tip causes random shut-offs or, worse, a valve that doesn't prove flame correctly. Most jurisdictions also require a licensed fitter for the warranty and insurance to hold.

Sometimes, if a retrofit module is listed for your specific valve and appliance — and that conversion is exactly what this service does. Many older millivolt valves can't accept an electronic module and have to be replaced entirely, which changes the economics, so we confirm the valve will accept the chosen ignition before quoting and flag a valve swap if it won't.

NFPA 211 calls for a Level 2 inspection at the sale or transfer of a property, and most agents and underwriters in the Pflugerville market expect it. We run a full articulating-camera scan of the flue, deliver a time-stamped video record and still images, and provide a signed certification report formatted for buyers, agents, and underwriters. It removes the chimney as a question mark in the deal.

A regular (Level 1) inspection is a visual check of accessible areas. A Level 2 — the one a sale requires — adds an internal closed-circuit camera scan of the entire flue and accessible attic, crawlspace, and basement runs. It's the only honest way to certify a liner you otherwise can't see, which is exactly why it's the standard at a property transfer.

That's precisely what a Level 2 is for. Our camera goes the full height of the flue and our borescope reaches the smoke-chamber back faces, so you get a recorded, photographed record of tile condition, liner integrity, blockages, and any breaches — before you light a fire. It's the same documentation standard you may have seen from PCE in another state.

No. We hand you the footage, explain the implication in plain terms, and give the honest options — relining, crown repair, parging, waterproofing — with no pressure. The integrity of the report is the product. Whether the repair happens before or after closing, and who handles it, is the parties' call, not ours to force.
