My Luxaire Unit Heater has been a steady performer for at least 10 years. Recently I returned from a trip to find my shop cold and the pilot light out. Tried to re-light the pilot several times. No luck. Can't hear any gas flow. Hate to replace gas valve if it's not bad. Could this be caused by the thermocoupler? Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Considering Honeywell recommends replacing the thermocouple yearly, I would say it's most likely it.
