2014 coming to save me in 2020 on a cold winter night! You're the man!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOHN! My adult daughter and I just lit the furnace FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER thanks to YOU!!!
Yay! You’re welcome!
Thank you for your help and the safety tips of turning off the switch on the side I watch many other videos and none of them mention the turning off of the switch on the side
Thank you sooooo much!! Your video helped this single mom stop freezing. It was so easy!! Thx
John thanx very instructive you explained it well
I know this video is more than 5 years old but thank you for making it. I inadvertently bumped the switch last night when I was moving stuffs around in my basement and I powered my furnace down. I came home tonight to a 62 degree house.I’m not normally a do-it-yourselfer but you gave me the confidence to try and it worked! Thank you so much!
John Angel, you're my hero
haha, thanks
9 years old video saved my 25 years old furnace. thanks a million.
Dude, you saved me from freezing during this winter storm. I couldnt figure out for the life of me where the pilot actually was that I was supposed to light. The illustration on the front looked nothing like what I was looking at and I was so scared I'd blow myself up.
A million "Thank you"'s
Yeah! You're welcome man, glad to have helped.
Thank you kind stranger!! I cannot thank you enough. Today you saved me. In the 5yrs that I’ve owned my house my crawl space flooded after all the snow and then rain we got in the last few days turning off the pilot. Thanks to you I was able to light it up and now my tears are of pure joy and not desperation. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!
It was a couple of cold nights here in Canada and I was having trouble getting the furnace lit. It's a 40 year old beast and I thought it was starting to give me trouble. (The last time the repair guy came out here, I ended up being $780 lighter for a thermocouple) and paying $150 just to have my furnace lit was not feasible.
Turns out I wasn't holding the pilot down long enough. I don't like dealing with electrical or gas (you know things that can kill you) because quite honestly it scares me, but it's great to know I can do this safely and on my own now.
So thank you, you live up to your last name 👼
Here I was in 2019 freezing half to death until I found this video. I now have heat! They need to build statues of you pal. Thanks!
haha, thanks man
FACTS
Thanks for the instruction video. It was really helpful and very easy to follow.
Thank you John. You really helped me out in this cold weather. My kids and I are thankful and really appreciate you making this video.
If my furnace had visible instructions on it I wouldnt be here. Lol
Same!
Right
Me too
Why wouldn’t you want to do this manually
Dude! This video saved my ass! Today is the coldest day of the year. I watched your video and re-lite my pilot! Thank you!
Thank you!! I couldn't get my furnace going, and your video was the only one that made sense. I appreciate you!
Eli Bell cool!
This video was the most helpful re: "How to light the pilot light to your furnace."
My unit has a separate black knob and red button, and I was unaware that there was a 'Pilot' setting.
Its kinda cramped in there, and the knob is on the left.....NOT facing outward.
So I thought there was only ON & OFF.
What I did......
Power switch: Off
Knob: Pilot
Red button: Pushed all the way & held.
Lit a match.....held it near pilot/valve...........got a flame!
1 - plus minute later......released button.........YES!!!!!!!!!!!
You saved me the cost of a repairman!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool! That's awesome!
Thanks John your video help me out tremendously couldn't have done it without you now my house is warm awesome
THANKS FOR SHARING I ALWAYS COME BACK TO THIS VIDEO TO REFRESH ON HOW TO DO IT AGAIN !
I was so scared off trying it, I watched your video a few times and located everything you pointed out before starting. Thank you so much!! My pilot went and my landlord literally lags any time I need things to take care off at the house. I could off been days without the heater on!! And it’s cold here! I never thought it would be that simple!! 😊
I felt that way too when I first was trying to light it, but followed the instructions and it went okay.
What a nice guy. Very helpful. Thanks very much.
Yessiree. Thanks... each site I checked was no help in finding the pilot light, but your simple instructions were great, and you said READ what is on the unit's instructions first. In my case, it didn't indicate lighting a match, and assumed from the men of the 1960s that I would know this "general" knowledge... my how my generation has started off in a realm of technology bliss tinkered with ignorance towards the basic building blocks of life. One word of caution... if a unit only has 'on' or 'off', chances are it is an auto (electric) start, and no matches should be used. Peace and Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for your help and knowledge, I was worried I would blow myself up but watching your video helped alot. Thank you 😊
John, THANK YOU so much for this video! I just moved to a new apartment and have never lit a pilot before. Seriously so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! It's below zero tonight.
This became VERY relevant and helpful this morning when I discovered our gas furnace wasn't working. Helped me find the pilot light in the first place, which I was able to see was out, and then was able to get it lit again. My furnace has slightly different controls (can only press the override button down from the "off" position, for one), but the video was enough info to be able to tinker/experiment from until I was able to get it going again.
Thank you this was extremely helpful
Finally a useful video on this topic - thanks for that !
Milan Kovac You're welcome! :)
Yay! THANK YOU!
Your video helped me about 3 years ago and it helped me again tonight!😄😊 I was worried because my furnace is old, but I can't afford a new one. At least I won't freeze again tonight. ☺
Jen E yay! Glad to have helped! 😊
thank you so much! Never thought I can ever fix it myself! I had the same problem last year and I thought it broke down. I paid $80 for someone to light the pilot light for me!! Wish I found your video earlier lol thanks again!
Thank you soooo much for posting! now I can take the huge stack of blankets off my bed!
Quick tip- if you don't have the long lighter do like I did and light a wooden chop stick, works perfect
Nice tutorial 👌👌👌
Thanks for helping again. I always refer to your tutorial when needed. 😊
Awesome! So happy it has helped you!
That's exactly what I'm going to do. Thank You🦋
Thank you man you just saved my life!!!
Great video. Awesome explanation. I was able to find the pilot and light it.
Hey, great video! You helped my challenged friend and me light my pilot!
Yeah!
This was a great video. Thank you
That was a very helpful video John, thank you very much sir..
Thanks . This worked for me . Holding the button down for one minute seemed to do the trick .
Such a thorough and genuine video with the capital, T! I was searching for a vid and stumbled on this one. Thank you, subscribed, and I hope 100s of 1,000s more will too.😎👊

Thanks Johnny that was helful
Thank you soooo much
Helped thanks really appreciate it
Thank you for sharing, your awesome.... ;-0
Hellz yeah john get that fire crankin:)
I am a little bit familiar with a pilot light, no pro by any means, but the furnace we have now the control knob does not have " pilot" on it anywhere, and inside the furnace cover it says, do not attempt to light the pilot manually. So, maybe I better call an HVAC man. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for helping me with the furnace. But this video is meme gold
good looking out bro
Thank you! I can do this by myself!
Thanks
Thanks john
I came to see if it was easy to do after 3 videos... I think I still need to call someone. 😭😂😂😂
I want to know about calibrating that thing you touched. have you ever taken it apart and tinker with it?
thanks man
Nice...
Good ole Chapman U! Go Panthers!
This just saved me a good $200
Thank you!!!
Well John, your video is awesome but my furnace sucks. It looks almost exactly like yours, but the knob won't turn. Waiting on the landlord for two days. I'm still freezing. :( Thanks for the video though. It would've helped perfectly if my furnace did what it's supposed to.
+Susan Becker Susan, good lord, so sorry I just got to respond now. I hope you got it turned on. Try to watch him as he is fixing it so you can fix it yourself next time. You push in the knob a bit, just have to mess with it. I wish I was there to help.
Actually I got it lit. The knob is just hard to turn.
Thank you though. :)
Pretty much same, i just held the red button down when i turnes it to pilot for it to move
Do you know anything about relighting a furnace that has automatic ignition systems? The instructions in the furnace say to turn the on/off knob to OFF, but the on/off knob in my furnace is stationary. There is a slit in the middle of the knob, and there are two toggle switches, or gas control switches as the instructions call them. Do I flip both of those switches, or just one, and if I flip just one, how do I know which one to flip?
Love U!
My control panel lid doesn't slide perfectly into place. There's a small gap on the top left corner. Should I be concerned? Is it better if I shut down the furnace, restart it, then try and fit the panel in place?
hi John, very helpful video but I'm hoping maybe you can help me with this: my furnace's knob has only on/off, no "pilot" option. I tried both turning it halfway in between & in the "on" position, depressing it while attempting to light the pilot but nothing...thanks for your speedy repsonse!
I would try looking closer for the word that says "pilot," maybe get a brighter light? You may have to hold in the knob on the on position while it is being lit
thanks, I meant to get back sooner...it was actually a furnace with an electronic ignition so no pilot flame to light. Ended up needing to be completely replaced.
Kat Jappe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂oh shit this is too funny!! hey Kate look a little bit closer for the word dumbass lol hey spaceman look into electrical ignitors lol
what is your there is not pilot position, just an on and off position?
