It may sound odd, but it is very real that spiders seem to like to build webs in the orifice of an idle pilot burner and moisture settles on the unheated surfaces to rust the parts while the pilot light is off. You will save about $25 by shutting the pilots off and possibly incur service charges and require a boiler sooner than expected.
