How to change a gas boiler pilot to a self electric ignitor.?


I have a hot water heating gas boiler and would like to change out regular pilot to a self iginiting pilot.

that is a major change. There are kits for it but you should have it done by a heating mechanic. Theres a lot of electrical work that has to be done.

Honeywell has a kit I've used many times, it involves changing the gas valve, adding a spark electrode to the existing pilot assembly and a control module.
Kit would sell for $250 - $300.00
Labor for a professional might be $65 - $100.00
Recommend a professional, they will warranty what they do and can provide you with warranty on the parts.
Your not going to save enough in fuel to recover the cost of the parts, maybe you should look at replacing.
