How to make equipment work without blowing anything up? Starting ignition electrodes for gas boilers
According to the ignition method, heating boilers are classified into: equipment with electric and piezo ignition.
Electric start devices work automatically.
Gas boilers with piezo ignition are functioning by pressing a button.

Differences between electric ignition and piezo ignition. Control unit
In electrical gas boilers missing igniter. The equipment is started automatically by an electric spark. Flame regulation is provided by an ionization control unit.
Boilers with piezo ignition, switched on manuallyIn order for the thermocouple to produce current to hold the gas valve closed, the pilot light must be constantly lit.
Features of electric ignition of boilers with automation
For heating cottages and private houses, boilers with electric start are preferable. Gas equipment with electric ignition works from electricity.
Device gas boilers:
- Gas supply fittings.
- Gas burner.
- Heat exchanger.
When the equipment is turned on, the hardware starts to operate. Automatics start the reinforcement — gas is supplied to the system, a spark is ignited in the combustion chamber, causing the fuel to ignite.
The water in the heat exchanger is heated to a specified level and the boiler automatically turns off. The fuel is ignited as the coolant cools down.
Gas boilers with electric start are available on the market various modifications:
- Ordinary heating elements.
- Mini boiler houses, equipped with circulation pumps, expanders, safety groups.
- Double-circuit for heating and hot water preparation.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Electrode Starting
When installing electric boilers, there is no need to install a riser. Disadvantages These boilers are related complete dependence on electricity.
Important! To ensure normal operation of the equipment it is necessary reliable autonomous electrical wiring.
Boilers with electric ignition have advantages:
- Operation without soot and carbon.
- Quiet or almost silent Job.
- Environmental safety.
- Saving fuel.
Electric gas equipment is easy, quick and safe to install in any room of a private home.
Piezo ignition of a gas boiler
The piezo ignition is functioning based on the principle of piezoelectric elements in lighters. When fuel is fed into the combustion chamber, a spark is produced and it ignites. The gas burner operates continuously, maintaining the set temperature in the room.
When the coolant heats up to the required level, gas supply is suspended. The auxiliary burner continues to operate, but the main burner goes out.
When the water temperature drops, the fuel supply is resumed and the main burner lights up. The cycle repeats.
Advantages boilers with piezo ignition:
- Energy independence.
- Ease of use.
- Available price.
Disadvantage piezo ignition is increased gas consumption.
Reference. Energy-independent boilers Suitable only for homes with good draft. The equipment operates efficiently if the pressure in the gas main corresponds to the data specified in the technical passport.
The order of ignition of gas wall-mounted or floor-standing boilers
Before launch It is necessary to check the serviceability of the gas ducts, firebricks, and equipment, make sure absence of foreign objects in the firebox and in stock normal water flow through the boiler. The method of ignition of heating boilers depends on their design features, characteristics and type.
Attention! Before starting up a unit with a piezo ignition, you should check the draft with a flame.
The boiler is lit according to the following scheme:
- Remove the safety lever from the igniter button.
- Fix the handle automation clockwise until it stops.
- Apply gas and bring flame to the pilot light burner.
- Press the ignition button all the way.

Popping, crackling, hissing when ignited
About gas supply to the ignition device a characteristic hissing sound indicatesThe gas will ignite with a soft crackling sound, the lever will reach the button and it will stop in the pressed position. Heating time bimetallic plate individually for each boiler. If the pilot light does not light, the above actions repeat after 1-2 minutes.
Important! When lighting the boiler the main thing is not to gas the furnace. It is necessary to give time for ventilation. When the wick goes out, the automatic safety device should work. The lever slides down within 1 minute and releases the igniter button.
When choosing gas equipment It is important to take into account the area of the premises and the purpose of the purchase (heating and hot water preparation, heating only). Residents of areas where power outages often occur are better off choosing non-volatile gas boilers.

Watch the video, which shows all the stages of starting a gas boiler with piezo ignition.
If there is no result, don’t bother with the transformer.
If there is no ignition in the gas boiler, the reason may be in the system itself or in gas supply is blocked, the filter is clogged. If the equipment is powered by electricity, there may be no voltage in the network. It is not recommended to fix the breakdowns yourself without the appropriate skills. It's better to consult a specialist.
