The Hot Surface Igniter on Your Rheem 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 Rheem systems — including models such as Prestige, Classic, Classic Plus — a failing hot surface igniter often shows up as no hot water or related symptoms. We diagnose it precisely and install the correct genuine Rheem part.
