NG furnace ignitor

El Toro · Jan 6, 2014

Anyone that has a gas furnace that uses an ignitor should buy a spare ignitor. They're not that hard to install. Hal

Very good advice. Just remember they are fragile and don't get your finger prints on them! At work on kitchen equipment there are 120volt and 24volt hot surface ignitors. Nothing like some IDIOT with a high pressure hose to fix them up REAL good! BOOM. Jeffcat
PS got to flee bay for good prices on these. I just bought the one for my dryer and it was only &15.oo

I was going through igniters like that at the rate of one a winter. Expensive at the Heating stores,alot cheaper via internet. Found my problem to be the mother board of the furnace,havent replaced an igniter now for three years{knock on wood-rap,rap}

I paid $13.75 for that ignitor plus tax. It cost my neighbor $200.00 for his. His furnace quit on a Sunday and it was very cold. He was lucky to get someone out. Hal

We just had our furnace checked over, I asked him to bring one with and change it. I could of saved quite a bit by changing it myself, but I let them change it this first time, I am saving the old one for a spare. The only time our furnace has failed to start was because the intake pipe frosted up.

They sell a nitrile based ignitor that looks like a flat blade that is supposed to be much longer lived than the carbon based one you show. I needed one on a Sunday and the hardware store happened to have one and only one. It was 50 bucks but it worked.

I bought an extra from "Graingers", several
years ago...It was in the $20 range. The Furnace
crook wanted about $100 !
