The Thermocouple on Your Burnham Boiler

The thermocouple is a safety probe that senses the pilot flame and holds the pilot gas valve open. When it weakens, the gas valve closes and the pilot goes out — the most common cause of a pilot that will not stay lit.

On Burnham systems — including models such as Alpine, ES2, Series 2 — a failing thermocouple often shows up as no heat or related symptoms. We diagnose it precisely and install the correct genuine Burnham part.
