Read MoreHow to Get an Accurate Mold Removal Estimate

A hot water tank thermocouple is a small safety sensor that uses the pilot flame to generate roughly 20 to 30 millivolts of electricity, and that signal is what holds the gas valve open. If the pilot goes out, the signal drops and the valve shuts off gas flow, which is why a weak or…
