Does anyone know how I can tell if the pilot light is lit? There is water (steam heat).....thanks   davidbuckley Citizen Username: Davidbuckley Post Number: 529 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, April 3, 2006 - 5:05 pm:        Call Gateway: 973 762 1000 if you don't figure it out--good guys, fast response and will help. Be warm, all. David   Shanabana Citizen Username: Shanabana Post Number: 293 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Monday, April 3, 2006 - 5:42 pm:        This happend to us last month. Called an emergency company, they checked out the boiler, cleaned it out, and were still stuck; then it dawned on me--check whether the thermostat batteries were still working. Nope, and Voila! (and Adieu! to $180 to the emergency plumbers!)   red Citizen Username: Redy67 Post Number: 5219 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Monday, April 3, 2006 - 6:01 pm:        Thanks, yeah Gateway is fantastic, they have helped me out before.   SOSully Citizen Username: Sullymw Post Number: 1215 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, April 4, 2006 - 10:21 am:        check to make sure someone didn't accidentally hit the emergency off switch (usually near the basement stairs).
