York S1-02532625000 Igniter Hot Surface

The York S1-02532625000 Igniter Hot Surface is an essential part of some York HVAC systems that are fitted with gas-fired furnaces or boilers. This igniter serves the purpose of a heater that sets fire to the gas fuel to burn it. It works by developing a high temperature in its outer surface; when this surface is exposed to the gas it ignites. The hot surface igniter improves safety and reliability compared to a pilot light because of the absence of a steady flame. This not only minimizes the possibility of achieving the ignition source but also optimizes the energy usage, as compared to the permanent standby energy loss of the pilot light.
