Common Furnace Problems

What we typically see—and fix

Most no-heat calls in Utah County and the Salt Lake Valley come down to a handful of causes. We find yours fast.

🔥

Furnace won't ignite

Failed igniters, dirty flame sensors, and gas-valve issues are the top no-heat culprits. Usually a same-visit fix.

🥶

Blowing cold air

From a bad limit switch to a cracked heat exchanger — we test to find the real cause instead of swapping parts on a hunch.

🔁

Short cycling

A furnace that starts and stops constantly is wasting gas and wearing itself out. Often airflow, sensor, or sizing related.

💨

Blower problems

Motor won't run, runs nonstop, or howls? We repair or replace blower motors and capacitors at a fair price.

🌡️

Thermostat & controls

Sometimes the furnace is fine and the brain isn't. We test the whole control chain before recommending anything.

⚠️

Smells & safety concerns

Burning smells, soot, or a CO alarm are worth a call. We check the flue, draft, and combustion — measured, not eyeballed.

Combustion Analyzer

We measure what's actually coming out of your furnace — CO, oxygen, flue temperature — instead of eyeballing a flame and calling it good.

How We're Different

We test. We don't guess.

A lot of heating repairs are guesses with a parts invoice attached. Ours aren't. Every furnace repair includes real combustion analysis and a carbon-monoxide safety check, so you know the fix worked and your family is safe.

  • Combustion analysis on every furnace repair — measured CO, not a color check
  • Carbon-monoxide and flue/draft safety inspection included
  • Heat exchanger inspected before we talk about replacements
  • Honest repair-vs-replace math — if a fix buys you years, we'll say so
  • Upfront pricing before any work starts

If your furnace is safe and worth fixing, we fix it. If it isn't, we show you the measurements that say so.

Questions

Furnace repair FAQ

Straight answers to the questions we hear most on heating calls.

My furnace won't ignite — what's usually wrong?
Most often it's a failed hot-surface igniter, a dirty flame sensor, or a control/gas-valve fault. All are common, diagnosable on the spot, and usually fixable the same visit. We'll show you the failed part and the price before we touch anything.
Do you charge a diagnostic fee?
We charge a fair diagnostic fee to find the problem — but it's completely waived when we complete the repair. So if we do the work, the diagnosis is free.
Should I repair my furnace or replace it?
Honest math: if the furnace is younger than ~15 years, the heat exchanger is sound, and the repair is a fraction of replacement cost, repair usually wins. If a major component failed on an old unit, we'll say so and show you why. Already have a replacement quote from someone else? We give free second opinions.
What's a combustion analyzer, and why does it matter?
It's an instrument that measures what's in your flue gas — carbon monoxide, oxygen, temperature. It tells us whether the furnace is burning safely and efficiently. Most companies don't use one; we use it on every furnace repair, because 'the flame looks blue' is not a safety check.
Is my furnace producing carbon monoxide?
Every furnace produces some CO — the question is whether it's venting safely. We measure CO and check the flue and draft on every heating visit. If your CO alarm is going off right now: get everyone outside and call the gas company first, then call us.
How fast can you get here?
No-heat calls get priority, especially in winter — usually same-day or next-day. Call 801-810-0740 and we'll give you an honest arrival window.
