The Hot Surface Igniter on Your Rinnai 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 Rinnai systems — including models such as i-Series i090, i120, M-Series — a failing hot surface igniter often shows up as error 11 no ignition or related symptoms. We diagnose it precisely and install the correct genuine Rinnai part.
