Boiler Flame Sensor Replacement in Abbotsford
Licensed, gas-certified diagnosis and replacement of your boiler flame sensor across Abbotsford. We do the work safely — no DIY required. Serving BC since 1999.
Quick answer
The flame sensor confirms the burner has lit. If it can't 'see' the flame, the boiler shuts the gas off as a safety measure. If your boiler flame sensor is failing in Abbotsford, a licensed technician must diagnose and replace it — this is not a DIY job. This involves a safety-critical part. If your boiler keeps faulting, turn it off and book a licensed repair; if you smell gas, leave and call FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911.
What the flame sensor does
The flame sensor confirms the burner has lit. If it can't 'see' the flame, the boiler shuts the gas off as a safety measure.
Signs your flame sensor may be failing
- Boiler fires then shuts off seconds later
- Short-cycling
- An ignition or flame-fault lockout
Important safety note
A dirty or failed flame sensor is a common, inexpensive fix — cleaned or replaced by a technician during service. It should not be bypassed. Please don't attempt to repair or replace boiler parts yourself — book a licensed technician.
Repair or replace?
Often the flame sensor can simply be replaced. On an older boiler, if multiple parts are failing or the repair cost is high, a new high-efficiency boiler may be the better long-term value — and may qualify for BC rebates and financing. We give you honest options for your Abbotsford home.

This is not a DIY repair
Combi boilers are gas-fired appliances regulated under the BC Safety Standards Act. Opening the unit, touching the gas valve, or working on the flue without a valid BC gas-fitter licence is both unsafe and illegal. Diagnosing the fault is helpful — fixing it should always be left to a certified technician.
