Quick Answer

Clicking with no light-off usually means the igniter is sparking but the gas isn’t lighting — a worn electrode, incorrect spark gap, faulty gas valve, or gas-supply issue. BoilerPart.ca diagnoses and repairs it across Greater Vancouver.

Boiler Clicking but Not Igniting help for Burnaby homes

The clicking you hear is the ignition attempting to spark; if no flame follows, the spark, gas or sensing is at fault.

Our licensed technicians cover every Burnaby neighbourhood — including Metrotown, Brentwood, Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Edmonds, Highgate — with genuine OEM parts and a workmanship guarantee.

What you’re noticing

  • Repeated clicking, no flame
  • Sparking but won’t light
  • Lockout after clicking
  • Smell of unburnt gas after attempts

Common causes

  • Worn ignition electrode / wrong gap
  • Faulty gas valve not opening
  • Gas-supply issue
  • Faulty ignition control

What you can safely check first

Beyond these safe checks, do not open the boiler or touch gas, electrical or sealed components — BC law requires a licensed gas fitter. Call us for a proper diagnosis.

Confirm gas is on (other appliances work)
Note any lockout code
If you smell gas, stop and treat as an emergency
Don’t keep retrying repeatedly
