Electronic Ignition Gas Furnaces

 High Efficiency Gas Furnace Utilizing Electronic Ignition
High Efficiency gas Furnace, Electronic ignition, direct spark ignition systems

Gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters have evolved from the basic standing pilot ignition system to the state of the art electronic ignition models. Standing pilot gas furnaces relied on keeping a pilot flame lit for the furnace, boiler, or water heater to function. The advent of electronic ignition has made it possible to prove a flame without keeping a pilot light lit 24/7 and thereby saving money because electronic ignition only needs to have a flame when there is a call for heat from the thermostat.

Typically, electronic ignition is comprised of a manufacturers OEM circuit board or an after-market ignition control module located near the gas valve of the furnace, boiler, or water heater. The gas valve is controlled directly by this circuit board or ignition module whereby the standing pilot gas valve is usually controlled by the thermostat. There are different versions of gas furnace electronic ignition systems but they all serve the same purpose and function and that is to safely heat your dwelling. Among these types of gas furnace electronic ignition systems there are:

Thermostat Wire and Thermostats Wiring For HVAC

 Thermostat wiring colors help designate which wire goes where on a thermostat
thermostat wiring, thermostats wiring designations, thermostat wire colors

For many, wiring a thermostat can be a very big hurdle especially if they do not understand basic HVAC electrical control circuits, thermostat wire color designations, or thermostat terminal designations. No matter what type of thermostat you have, Honeywell, White Rogers, Robertshaw, Maple Chase, or whatever brand you have, High Performance HVAC Thermostat Wiring page will help you better understand this often confusing subject of thermostat wiring.

Thermostat is typically 18 gauge solid wire and is usually designated by different colors of many wires wrapped in an outer insulating jacket which hold the multi-color wires together. Reading the label on different wire reels one will notice 18-2, 18-3, 18-5, or even 18-10. The first numbers represents the gauge of the wire inside the outer jacket. The second number represents the number of wires or conductors inside the outer jacket. A reel labeled 18-2 will have two wires or conductors which are 18 gauge wire. A reel labeled 18-10 will have 10 wires or conductors which are 18 gauge.
