Looks like the annual replacement of the furnace igniter is up. I usually buy off the local hvac business but getting costly there, anyone know where online I could make a respectable purchase of a Nordyne 903758 igniter off a Frigidaire G6RA096C-12-H Gas Furnace? I've tried Amazon and looked at lots of US sites but hard pressed to find the part in Canada. Best I seen was $25 with $40 shipping from states.
Dealt with these guys before and can recommend them.

You can always use a universal replacement as well, the silicon nitride units have a longer lifespan than the silicon carbide ones. The silicon nitride ignitors have a smooth finish while the silicon carbide ones appear porous and grainy. Honeywell makes a universal one called a Glowfly, you just have to select the correct bracket for you application.

Thanks for the replys I will look into these suggestions. These igniters apparently can't even be touched let alone cleaned, delicate little expensive suckers for sure. They were around $24 in recent years now it's $80 plus, wife and kids will have to double up on the sweaters until Monday.

I always keep one of these around, as they can be made to work on pretty well any unit out there that uses a hot surface ignition. I generally buy them wholesale, but have seen them at home hardware an Canadian tire in the past, about $18 IIRC
