A gas furnace and its costly parts

Not all parts in a furnace are created equal. Some cost much more to repair or replace than others. The more important the function, the costlier the part.

That’s why a pre-winter checkup by a veteran technician is a good investment in preventive care and long-term operation. The tech can often spot items that need repair before an emergency.

The ignitor often is the first to need a fix. That’s because it is used so often; a furnace that lasts 15-20 years may need two or three ignitors over its lifespan.

Cost outline

The ignitor is actually much less expensive than furnace components such as the blower motor, the heat exchange, the draft inducer motor and the circuit board.
