Quick Answer

A boiler that won’t ignite usually has a cracked igniter, worn ignition electrode, faulty ignition control, gas-supply issue, or a flame-sensing fault causing lockout. BoilerPart.ca diagnoses and repairs ignition faults with genuine parts across Greater Vancouver.

Boiler Won't Ignite help for Surrey homes

When the boiler tries to start but the burner never lights, the fault is in the ignition or gas-delivery chain. It’s one of the most common repairs we make.

Our licensed technicians cover every Surrey neighbourhood — including Guildford, Fleetwood, Cloverdale, South Surrey, Newton, Whalley — with genuine OEM parts and a workmanship guarantee.

What you’re noticing

  • Boiler tries to start but won’t light
  • Clicking with no flame
  • Lockout after several attempts
  • Igniter glows but no ignition

Common causes

  • Cracked hot-surface igniter
  • Worn ignition electrode / incorrect gap
  • Faulty ignition control module
  • Gas-supply issue
  • Flame-sense fault

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 the gas supply is on (other gas appliances work)
Check the boiler has power and pressure is normal
Note any error/lockout code
Don’t keep resetting repeatedly
