What Is Going Wrong?
If your gas furnace clicks, the inducer runs, but the burners never light, a failed ignitor is a likely cause. Hot-surface ignitors are fragile and wear out with heat cycles, and they should be handled without touching the heating element. We test the ignitor, its wiring, and the control board signal before replacing it, so a new ignitor is not fitted to a board fault.
Common Causes
- Normal wear after years of heat cycles
- A cracked ignitor element from handling or vibration
- A control board not sending power to the ignitor
- A flame sensor or gas fault that only looks like an ignitor fault
Signs You Need This Service
- Clicking and inducer noise, but no burner flame
- No heat, with an error code pointing to ignition failure
- A visibly cracked or broken ignitor
- A furnace that worked intermittently, then stopped lighting
What We Check, In Order
- Ignitor resistance and power from the control board
- Flame sensing and gas valve operation after ignition
- Error codes and ignition sequence, in order
- Whether the board, wiring, or ignitor itself failed

Repair or Replace?
| Situation | Honest next step |
|---|---|
| One failed part, furnace under 12 years old | Repair is usually the right call |
| Repeated failures, or a cracked heat exchanger | Price replacement, and do not run an unsafe furnace |
| Repair near half the cost of a new furnace | Get both options in writing before deciding |
Safety note: If you smell gas, leave the home and call from outside. If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave and call emergency services, then call us.
