Why Do Furnace Igniters Fail? Phoenix AC Repair

Find Phoenix AC Repair Any Time

Evening temperatures in Phoenix can fall into the 40s or even below zero. Given this, no one wants to discover that their gas furnace is broken and won't light.

This is primarily brought on by a defective igniter, an affordable but occasionally challenging component to replace.

We'll learn more in this post about determining whether your furnace igniter is working and why you need Phoenix, AZ AC repair.

  

Furnace Pushes Out Cold Air

To start, make sure your thermometer is in "hot" mode. After making sure of this, if cold air is still coming from your furnace, it may indicate that your igniter is broken.

Why? because if your igniter doesn't "ignite," your furnace won't be able to heat the air.

 

There is No Blowing From the Furnace

You might have a damaged igniter if your furnace no longer blows air. If this is the case, you should have a professional inspect and fix your heating and cooling system.

Check your air filter now and again to ensure it isn't too dusty and prevents airflow. Clean or replace the air filter if this is the situation.

Your furnace's blower and heat exchanger may also need cleaning, but we advise employing Phoenix AC repair.

 

Your Furnace Turns Off And On Again

If your furnace repeatedly shuts off and then restarts, your igniter may be damaged. Call Phoenix AC repair to inspect and resolve the issue in this case.

 

What Are The Symptoms Of A Faulty Igniter?

Several things could be wrong with your igniter.

  • Your igniter's useful life has come to an end. In most circumstances, an igniter has a lifespan of up to 7-8 years.
  • The voltages might not be synchronized. For instance, if your furnace and igniter operate at different voltages, your igniter can stop functioning. We advise hiring a certified Phoenix AC repair to fix this issue.
  • An electrical outage occurred. Your furnace's igniter may become damaged if there are frequent power surges.
