The Top Cause of a Furnace That Will Not Ignite

Today's furnaces rely on either a hot surface ignitor — a glowing silicon carbide or silicon nitride element — or a spark ignition system to fire the burners. Hot surface ignitors run at extreme temperatures and grow brittle with age. When one cracks or burns out, the furnace runs through its startup routine but the burners never light. You may hear the draft inducer spin up, a click, and then silence. This ranks as the single most common furnace repair we perform, and it is both fast and budget-friendly.

Typically Finished in About 30 Minutes

Our trucks stock the most widely used ignitor models. Once the technician confirms the ignitor is the failed part — ruling out a gas valve issue or control board problem — the swap goes in, the furnace is tested through a full cycle, and every safety control is verified. The entire job wraps up in roughly half an hour.

Extending the Life of Your Next Ignitor

Ignitors wear out naturally over 5 to 7 years on average, but some conditions speed up the process: oil transferred from bare fingers (the element should never be touched), voltage spikes, and frequent short-cycling. When we install the new ignitor, we also check for anything that may have shortened the previous one's lifespan.
