The #1 Reason Your Furnace Won't Fire Up
Modern furnaces use either a hot surface ignitor (a glowing silicon carbide or silicon nitride element) or a spark ignition system to light the burners. Hot surface ignitors are fragile by nature — they operate at extremely high temperatures and become brittle over time. When one cracks or burns out, your furnace goes through its startup sequence but never actually lights. You might hear the draft inducer motor run, a click, and then nothing. This is the most common furnace repair we perform, and it's fast and affordable.
A 30-Minute Fix in Most Cases
Our technicians carry the most common ignitor types on every truck. After confirming the ignitor is the failed component — not a gas valve issue or control board problem — we swap in the replacement, verify the furnace lights and cycles properly, and check all safety controls. Most ignitor replacements take about 30 minutes from start to finish.
Preventing Future Failures
While ignitors do wear out naturally over time (average lifespan is 5-7 years), certain conditions can shorten their life: oil from fingerprints (never touch the element with bare hands), voltage spikes, and excessive short-cycling. During replacement, we inspect for conditions that may have contributed to premature failure.
HVAC Challenges in Fletcher
Fletcher's location along the I-26 corridor brings steady development with new homes and commercial properties that need properly designed HVAC systems. The area near the Asheville Regional Airport has more commercial HVAC demand than surrounding residential communities. Fletcher's mix of 1990s-era subdivisions and new construction means many homeowners are facing their first major system replacement.
Seasonal Tip for Fletcher Homeowners
If you're in a Fletcher home built in the 1990s–2000s, your original HVAC system is likely at or past its expected lifespan. R-22 refrigerant (used in systems installed before 2010) is no longer manufactured — if your system still uses R-22, now is the time to plan a replacement before your next breakdown becomes an emergency.
