Anyone can replace their furnace Ignitor, and save a couple hundred dollars. I had one on hand, after reading that these Silicon Nitride Ignitors are stronger and last longer than the OEM Ignitor. When my furnace stopped working I could see that the ignitor had stopped working and replaced it in about 15 minutes. It was the middle of winter and a Sunday; a service call would have been hundreds of dollars. For about $20 I had the furnace going again and ordered another that day, to have on hand. My understanding is, that the OEM ignitor is so delicate that you can brake it installing it. That's why this Universal Silicon Nitride Ignitor is so good, it is much stronger.

Both my furnace and dryer use use hot surface igniters. This new style seems more sturdy, and will likely replace just about any igniter. It comes with adapters so it can be mounted in the same position as the one it replaces. They don’t last forever, so I keep one on hand.

Much more robust than the frail, nigh untouchable OEM flat unit, the only caveat is the tiny sheet metal screws that retain it to the mounting bracket will easily strip the hole if torqued anything past barely snug; plus, they're the obsolete flat blade type, etc. Otherwise a real handy problem solving part, a must stock for emergency " No Heat" service calls.

In searching for "back-up" furnace ignitor (just installed existing back-up), I discovered this new improved ignitor made of Silicone Nitride. It's much more durable and ignites slightly faster. The original ignitors are subject to burn out more often. My only suggested improvement of the Supco SSN2000 is to include a ready made connector. I realize this model is a universal model and therefore, you have to splice the wires onto the old plug. Not a major concern, as they include plenty length of wire and the necessary wire nuts. and mounting brackets. I'm now using the old back-up as a back-up again, as I swapped it out.

i will order another for backup. it's my first experience with SiNi igniter, even though it was recommended before, installation was simple 30 minute job. i'm very happy. if this igniter lasts as they say, i'll be even happier
