A somewhat recent addition to gas furnace systems, your igniter essentially performs the same function an older pilot light would. Igniters utilize electricity in lieu of a pilot flame, safely and quickly igniting gas when your furnace operates. These newer igniter systems have been a considerable boon to homeowners, cutting down on frustrating pilot malfunctions and cramped attempts at relighting.

However, as great as a furnace igniter is, they’re not immune to damage, and are in fact one of the most commonly replaced components our experts handle. Are you having trouble with your gas furnace igniter in Maryland? Trust the certified and licensed HVAC professionals at GAC Services to provide the fast, effective repair services you need!

Signs You Need Furnace Igniter Repair Services

Many issues can cause igniter trouble, and they range from the odd to the mundane. Luckily, each sign is fairly unique, and our experts have all of the experience and skill needed to bring you the quality solutions you deserve.

Keep an eye out for these common igniter failure signs:

  • Your gas furnace isn’t working after an outage. Power outages and power surges can do serious damage to many appliances and electric tools throughout the home. And, being an electrical component, your igniter is no different! If you’ve had a sudden outage or surge and your furnace is no longer responding, there’s a good chance your igniter burned out during your power complications.
  • Your igniter suddenly fails. If your furnace dies suddenly, and refuses to resume operation, there is a very good chance that the igniter has simply worn out. Igniters don’t tend to live as long as the furnace itself, and you should generally expect to need a replacement within a few years of a fresh installation.
  • Your furnace kicks off before reaching appropriate temperatures. Everything was working just fine, but then your furnace died outright and is no longer responding. If this is your current situation, we’d put good odds on an issue with your limit switch, a device that monitors the internal temperature of your furnace. This isn’t actually the igniter fault, but the igniter will refuse to respond if the limit switch has activated, meaning you’re going to need professional assistance.
