The short answer
$150–$450
The part itself is inexpensive. What you are paying for is the diagnosis, the correct igniter for your furnace, and getting it in without cracking the next one.

What moves the price
Universal or manufacturer part
A universal silicon-nitride igniter costs less than the exact OEM part some furnaces require. We use what the furnace is designed for.
How the furnace is built
A furnace in an open basement is quicker than one in a tight closet or an attic crawl, and labour is most of this job.
What else the failure took out
An igniter that failed because of a cracked wire or a struggling control board means fixing the cause, not just the part.
When you call
After-hours and weekend rates are higher everywhere. A furnace that clicks and will not light rarely fixes itself, so booking early is the cheaper path.
Clicking but no flame?
That is the classic igniter symptom, and it is usually a same-day fix. Exact price upfront before any work.

Quick answers
How do I know it is the igniter and not something else?
The furnace tries: you hear the inducer run, then a click, then nothing, and it may retry a few times before locking out. A dead-silent furnace is usually power or a safety switch instead.
How long do igniters last?
Commonly 4 to 7 years. They are a wear part — every heating cycle heats them to glowing and back, and they get brittle.
Can I replace it myself?
They are fragile, easy to crack by hand, and the wrong one for your furnace will fail early or not light at all. It is also gas equipment, so we would rather do it right.
