How much gas does the PILOT LIGHT on a boiler consume in a year?

In domestic heating systems with pilot lights it has been estimated that on average half the total energy usage is from the pilot light, each pilot light using from 240W to 500W of gas (8GJ to 16GJ per year). That said, the heat from a pilot light in many appliances (furnaces, space heaters, hot water heaters) is generally released in the same chamber as the primary burner. The heat energy provided by the pilot light in these types of devices provides a minimal amount of heat to the device; the gas burned is not "wasted", it contributes to the purpose of the device.

Depends on the make and model of the pilot light.
