How do you relight a natural gas pilot light?
How do you relight a natural gas pilot light?
How do you reignite a boiler?
There should be a sticker on the boiler or the gas valve telling you how to relight your particular model.
If I turn the gas on but the pilot light isn't on does the gas keep running?
On a stove it will. On a modern, code-compliant water heater, space heater or furnace it will not, because these modern appliances have electric valves that will not open if the pilot flame goes out. Once the pilot is out, the only way to get gas to flow is to push the pilot button in on the gas valve and relight the pilot flame according to the instructions. You can check for gas leaking from the pilot burner or main burner by smelling for the scent of gas, as natural gas and LPG (propane) have an odorant added to allow you to detect their presence. (Do NOT use a flame or spark to test for the presence of gas!)
How do you reignite a gas furnace?
You should not be relighting the furnace, if your unit does not have an automatic ignitor you merely need to relight the pilot light and the instructions to do that specifically for your equipment can be found somewhere on the unit.

How do relight your pilot light on a whirlpool stove?
Simply put, no. Some gas stoves use an electrical system for ignition. Others have the typical pilot light that needs a real flame to manualy light it.
How do you turn your gas on for your home?
I would call the gas company. If gas has been turned off, they have to turn it back on. Unlike water, there may not be any turn-off valve inside your house, After the gas is turned on, you would have to relight the pilot lights for your gas appliances. Your water heater, furnace and range may all need to have their pilots relighted. You can relight all of these yourself, if you can follow the instructions in the manuals that come with these appliances, or know from experience what to do. There may be some instructions posted somewhere on the appliance. Otherwise, the gas company will do the job for a reasonable fee, and if you watch, you can do it yourself next time. Actually, only the furnace would be likely ever require re-lighting.
How do you relight the pilot-light of the home heating furnace?
Turn the knob on the top of the gas valve to "Pilot" and hold it down. Put your match or lighter near the pilot and it should light. Continue holding the knob down for about 30 seconds then release, and the pilot should stay lit. If it goes out then you may need to replace the thermocouple (the gold color rod that the pilot flame burns on) or have the pilot cleaned if it has a yellow flame.
If one the burners of a gas oven is not emitting fire, when turned on, how would one go about fixing that and getting the burner to work?
Your pilot light is most likely gone out.You can relight it yourself though this can be DANGEROUS.Lift up your stovetop and see if you have all four pilot lights.If you do this is not the problem.Keep that burner off because natural gas can be deadly and call a pro to fix it.
Describe what happens in a positive test for oxygen gas?
You need to try and relight a glowing splint. If it does relight, then there is oxygen gas.
