Getting cold because you’re seeing error code 270 from your Lennox® furnace?
This shows you that your furnace ignitor can’t turn on the flame. After five failed tries, the furnace will stop trying to ignite. It will then go into Watchguard mode for about an hour for safety reasons.
When your ignitor isn’t working, it’s best to depend on our ACE-certified technicians. They’ve gone through important instruction, so you can rest easy knowing they’ll determine what’s causing the furnace error and will fix it to your satisfaction.
We believe in the quality of our furnace repair* for a year.

Here’s how a furnace ignitor works:
A furnace ignitor should last about three to five years before it breaks and needs to be subbed out for a new part. It can wear out sooner if you don’t replace your air filter regularly, since a dirty one can cause your furnace to short cycle.
Your furnace will tell you there’s something wrong with a red flash from its indicator light, which it uses to communicate error codes. It has this red light to flash code, much like Morse code.
You might see short flashes or an alternating slow flash as it shares a fault code.
The price to fix your furnace rests on what’s wrong with it and how long it takes to repair it.
