The Hot Surface Igniter on Your Giant Boiler

The hot surface igniter (HSI) is a silicon-nitride or silicon-carbide element that heats until it glows, igniting the gas at the burner. HSIs are fragile and degrade with each cycle; a cracked igniter is a very common no-heat cause.

On Giant systems — including models such as Cascade, Super Cascade, Expert — a failing hot surface igniter often shows up as no hot water or related symptoms. We diagnose it precisely and install the correct genuine Giant part.
