Flame Sensor Replacement in Greater Vancouver

The flame sensor detects when the burner flame is lit and signals the gas valve to stay open. A dirty or faulty flame sensor causes your furnace to shut down shortly after ignition. Cleaning or replacing the flame sensor restores normal operation.

Flame Sensor Replacement — FAQs

Can a flame sensor be cleaned instead of replaced?

Often yes — light sanding of the sensor rod can restore function. If the sensor is cracked or corroded, replacement is needed.

Why does my furnace light but then shut off?

This is the classic symptom of a faulty flame sensor. The system lights the burners, but the sensor doesn't confirm the flame, so the gas valve closes.
