FAQs
How do I know if my furnace igniter needs to be replaced?
Common warning signs include repeated furnace cycling without producing heat, the blower running with no warm air, seeing an error code on the control board, or hearing the furnace click but never ignite. If you notice a sudden rise in utility bills or smell unburned gas, your igniter may be failing. Our Jefferson City technicians can run a quick diagnostic to confirm the problem.
How long does an igniter replacement visit usually take?
For most residential gas furnaces, the entire service call—including diagnosis, part retrieval from the truck, installation, and testing—takes about 60–90 minutes. Complex units or hard-to-reach igniters can add extra time, but same-day completion is typical for Jefferson City homes.
What types of igniters do you keep in stock for Jefferson City customers?
We stock silicon nitride and silicon carbide hot-surface igniters as well as intermittent spark and direct-spark igniters for high-efficiency systems. Our trucks carry the most common OEM parts for brands like Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, York, and Goodman to ensure faster turnaround even on evening and weekend calls.
Is it safe to keep running my furnace if the igniter is failing?
No. A faulty igniter can lead to dangerous amounts of unburned gas collecting in the heat exchanger, causing potential fire or explosion hazards. It also forces the furnace to short cycle, placing additional strain on the blower motor and control board. Shut the unit off at the thermostat and call our 24/7 heat repair line for Jefferson City right away.
How much does furnace igniter replacement cost in Jefferson City?
Typical pricing ranges from $180–$350, which covers trip charge, diagnostic testing, the new igniter, installation, and a safety check. High-efficiency or specialty igniters may cost slightly more. We provide exact, upfront pricing before any work begins and offer financing or membership discounts to help you save.
Can I replace a furnace igniter myself, or should I hire a professional?
Although an igniter is a small part, replacing it involves shutting off gas and electrical power, handling fragile ceramic components, and performing combustion-safety tests afterward. Incorrect installation can void the furnace warranty or create a carbon-monoxide hazard. For safety and warranty protection, we recommend scheduling a certified HVAC technician—especially since we offer same-day service across Jefferson City.
