In Reliance equipment, the flame sensor proves the burner flame is present and signals the gas valve to remain open. When this component fails, it can cause your Reliance system to malfunction or stop working entirely. CANRO Heating & Cooling provides specialized Reliance flame sensor replacement and repair service throughout Greater Vancouver. Our technicians have extensive training on Reliance boiler systems and carry OEM flame sensor units specifically for Reliance equipment.
The Flame Sensor in Reliance Boiler Systems
In Reliance boiler equipment, the Flame Sensor proves the burner flame is present and signals the gas valve to remain open. Reliance designs their flame sensor components to work with their proprietary technology, including Jam-resistant positive shut-off drain valve, e-coat anode rod for extended protection, automatic shut-off on power vent models, self-diagnostic Honeywell SmartValve, Blue Diamond glass coating for tank protection. When this component fails, it can trigger error codes, cause the system to shut down, or result in inefficient operation. Understanding how the flame sensor integrates with Reliance's overall system design is essential for accurate diagnosis and proper replacement. CANRO Heating & Cooling technicians have the manufacturer-specific knowledge to service Reliance flame sensor issues correctly.
Common Symptoms of Reliance Flame Sensor Failure
Reliance boiler owners may notice several warning signs when the flame sensor is failing. These include specific Reliance error codes on the control board or thermostat, the system failing to start or cycling on and off, unusual noises during operation, reduced heating performance, and increased energy consumption. Reliance systems store fault codes that help our technicians diagnose flame sensor issues quickly when we arrive.
