Heil Quaker ICP 1148245 Ignitor

The Heil Quaker ICP 1148245 Ignitor is a high-performance Norton HSI (Hot Surface Ignitor) engineered for critical ignition sequences in residential and light commercial furnaces. As a genuine ICP OEM replacement part, this 120V silicon carbide element provides a direct-fit solution for technicians servicing equipment under the International Comfort Products umbrella, including brands like Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker. This furnace ignitor 1148245 features a standard 2-inch element length and 9-inch lead wires, ensuring seamless integration with existing burner assemblies for consistent flame rectification and start-up cycles.

For veteran contractors, the ICP 1148245 Norton HSI is the preferred choice to resolve common ignition failures, such as cracked elements or loss of continuity. It serves as a reliable replacement for legacy part numbers including 1001344, 1007508, 1147645, 1680175, and 1680268. Given the fragile nature of silicon carbide, always handle the unit by its ceramic base to prevent skin oils from contaminating the element, which can lead to localized hot spots and premature failure during the heating season.

Key Benefits:

• Precision Compatibility: Designed for exact electrical and physical matching in ICP, Heil, and Tempstar systems.
• Enhanced Durability: Genuine Norton silicon carbide construction maintains thermal stability over thousands of ignition cycles.
• OEM Performance: Ensures factory-specified amperage draw to protect the furnace control board from over-current issues.
• Quick Installation: Features a factory-terminated plug for immediate "plug and play" replacement on the job site.

Common Questions:

• How do I test the 1148245 ignitor for failure? Use a multimeter to check for ohms/continuity across the leads. An open circuit or a reading significantly outside the 40-75 ohm range generally indicates a dead element.
• Can I use a universal ignitor instead? While universal kits exist, this genuine ICP part ensures the specific resistance and mounting geometry required for proper burner alignment and safety.
• What causes these ignitors to burn out? Most failures result from either physical handling damage, high gas pressure causing overheating, or natural degradation of the silicon carbide over time.
