Surface Igniter, LLC will exhibit with Heat Founder at the 2026 AHR Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada taking place from February 2-4, 2026. Surface Igniter invites attendees to Booth SU172 in the South Hall to explore a model range of silicon carbide and silicon nitride igniters and discuss coordinated system solutions engineered for today’s  high-efficiency gas-fired appliances. 

At Booth SU172, Surface Igniter and Heat Founder will highlight how their complementary technologies give OEMs a resource for both silicon carbide and silicon nitride ignition platforms. Surface Igniter will highlight their silicon carbide igniters used across ranges, dryers, furnaces and other gas appliances, while Heat Founder will showcase its silicon nitride designs.

The two companies are aligning to help manufacturers match the right material and igniter design to evolving burner, control and emission requirements. The collaboration is especially relevant as newer heating technologies call for reliable, energy-conscious ignition systems capable of withstanding more cycles, tighter envelopes and more challenging operating environments.

As part of its expanding aftermarket portfolio, Surface Igniter will feature the SN070KX 0230K00001 Goodman Replacement Igniter, a brand-new 120-volt silicon nitride igniter designed to upgrade legacy carbide designs on previous Goodman and Janitrol furnaces. This aftermarket OEM-series igniter serves as a recommended replacement for B1401015S and B1401018S ignitors and is compatible with more than 90 furnace models across GDT, GMN, GMNT, GMP, GMPE, GMPH, GMPN, GMPV, GMT, GMTH, GPD, GSM, GSMS and GUS series equipment.

The SN070KX igniter conversion kit is padded to protect the component in transit and includes everything contractors need for installation.

Attendees visiting Booth SU172 will be able to explore a full range of ignition geometries, mounting options and custom-engineered solutions, and discuss application-specific needs with technical representatives from both companies. From traditional silicon carbide formats to next-generation silicon nitride igniters, the team will be available to support OEM design projects, value engineering initiatives and replacement programs.
