Boiler Ignition Electrode Replacement in Greater Vancouver
Generates the spark that lights the burner. Supplied and professionally installed by licensed gas fitters — never sold for DIY.
What the Ignition Electrode Does
The ignition electrode produces a high-voltage spark across a precise gap to light the gas. A worn, sooty, or misaligned electrode causes weak sparking, slow ignition, and lockouts.
The control module sends a high-voltage pulse to the electrode tip, arcing to ground and igniting the gas-air mixture at the burner the moment the valve opens.
We supply and fit the ignition electrode as part of a complete boiler repair or new installation, and inspect it during annual maintenance for homes across Greater Vancouver.
