Why Does My Hot Water Heater Pilot Keep Going Out?

My hot water heater pilot light is one of the things that really gives me problems. For example, when I leave the house it’s usually in the right temperature, and when I come back it’s usually not. This has happened several times over the last few months, and the problem seemed to be that one of the wires on the heaters were being burnt or badly damaged. If you have a pilot light for your hot water heater, I hope that this article will help you figure out whether it needs to be replaced or not, and what type of pilot light you need in order to fix the problem.
