Relighting a water heater pilot light yourself is completely free, requiring only a few minutes of your time and adherence to safety instructions. However, if you hire a professional licensed plumber to come out and relight the pilot—or diagnose why it keeps blowing out—service call fees typically range from $150 to $250. The cost only escalates if the underlying root cause is a defective thermocouple that requires replacement. Verification: Confirm the pilot stays lit after relighting to avoid paying for unnecessary service calls.
