I will second that warning!!! You have NO idea how little gas it takes to make a VERY big BANG!
I work with these on commercial cooking equipment at one of the AC casinos. The older ignition boxes would keep the match on"techs call them matches", all of the time to assure there would be no loss of ignition. If you have a flame sensor next to the match, a new style box will shut off the hotsurface ignitor after about 5 seconds. If you have a litle one about 1 inch long by 3/16 wide it most likely is 24 volt AC. The big ones about 2 inches long and are round and about one inch are 120 volt AC. The new box will have a trial period of around 4 seconds and then shut off if no fire. It should cost about $12o.oo tops. In commercial service they work for years or until some idiot hits them with a water hose! Jeff

MOST of the time, they last for YEARS. Could there be a control problem that is not turning the current off when the fire lights, or could the furnace be "overfiring" from incorrect gas pressure, or the wrong gas oriface?
