Reported problem
The furnace was not working as expected, failing to light properly and heat the residence. The resident reported the unit was running poorly or not heating, prompting a diagnostic visit.
Diagnosis and recommended repair
During the diagnostic visit on October 19, 2026, the technician identified two primary issues affecting furnace operation: a faulty ignitor and a malfunctioning control board. The ignitor was not igniting the burner, and the control board was failing to supply the correct voltage to the gas valve at the proper time. Both failures were attributed to normal wear and tear. The technician recommended replacing the ignitor first, followed by the control board, to restore proper furnace functionality. Additional authorization was requested to proceed with the full repair.
Work performed and reported outcome
The technician completed the replacement of the ignitor and control board as authorized. Following the repairs, the furnace was tested and reported operational. The technician confirmed the furnace was functioning correctly at the conclusion of the service visit.
