Hi,

My furnace, which is located in the attic, gets its pilot flame blown out every now and then (usually on windy days). I was wondering if there was a way to convert it to electronic ignition.

Thanks for any suggestions.

there is a device called a pilot relighter, a sparker that comes on when pilot flame sensor fails to detect flame.

Just curious.. any more info on how these work?
How does it press the button that bypasses the thermocouple? :)
