Flame sensors are critical components in HVAC systems, heat pumps, and furnace units. These parts, including flame sensor leads, electrodes, rods, wires, and mounting kits, detect the presence of a flame to ensure safe operation, prevent gas flow if no flame is detected, and optimize system efficiency for reliable heating and cooling performance.

Heat Pump Flame Sensor Replacement Parts
Flame sensors are vital in HVAC furnaces and heat pumps, detecting the presence of a flame to ensure safe and efficient operation. These sensors prevent gas flow if no flame is detected, enhancing safety and optimizing system performance.
Failure of HVAC flame sensor components can lead to system shutdowns, inefficiency, or safety risks. The flame sensor cleaner removes buildup and residue for proper operation. The flame sensor wire transmits signals to the control board, while the bracket & gasket secure the sensor in place, ensuring stability. The mounting screw secures components, while the flame sensor electrode detects the flame, halting gas flow if absent. Additional components include the flame sensor lead for signal transmission and a visible light flame detector for optical flame detection.
At PartsHnC, we offer high-quality flame sensor parts, including flame sensor leads, electrodes, rods, wires, and mounting kits from trusted brands like Carrier, Amana-Goodman, Aaon, Daikin-McQuay, and International Comfort Products, all at competitive prices.
FAQs
How often should a furnace flame sensor be cleaned or replaced?
It's advisable to clean the furnace flame sensor yearly as part of routine HVAC maintenance. If cleaning doesn’t resolve performance issues, the sensor may need to be replaced every 5–7 years.
What distinguishes a flame sensor from a thermocouple?
Both components detect flame presence, but a thermocouple generates electricity when heated, while a flame sensor uses an electrical signal to sense the flame. Flame sensors are widely used in modern furnaces for safety and efficient operation.
How much does it cost to replace a flame sensor?
The cost to replace a flame sensor generally ranges from $50 to $150, depending on the type of furnace and labor costs. It's often a quick and affordable repair compared to other HVAC components.
Where can I find flame sensor parts for heat pumps?
For reliable flame sensor parts for heat pumps, visit trusted suppliers like PartsHnC, offering high-quality sensors compatible with top HVAC brands at competitive prices, ensuring efficient and safe operation of your heat pump system.
What can I do if my flame sensor keeps turning off the furnace?
If the flame sensor shuts off your furnace repeatedly, it could be dirty, misaligned, or faulty. Cleaning the sensor, ensuring proper alignment, or replacing it can usually fix the problem.
How can I test the flame sensor on my heat pump?
To test the flame sensor, use a multimeter to check for continuity while the system is running. If there's no continuity, the sensor is probably faulty and should be replaced.
