A pilot light will burn 600 to 800 BTUs/hr. Your monthly gas bill should include your exact cost per “therm” (100,000 BTUs). Based on this rate you can calculate the cost for your area to operate a pilot light.

This will vary by model, by gas utility and by fuel type. The pilot is consuming 600 to 900 BTU’s an hour. Your monthly gas bill should include your exact cost per therm (100,000 BTU’s). Based on this rate, you can calculate the cost for your area.
