Its primary function is to generate a high-voltage spark to ignite the fuel (oil or gas) in the burner. When the burner control calls for heat, the ignitor receives power and produces a continuous spark across its electrodes, initiating combustion. This unit provides a strong, consistent spark for reliable burner startup.
