Inversion season
Winter inversions can hold dirty air in the Salt Lake Valley for days. Filters clog faster, airflow drops, and an overheating furnace shuts itself off on its limit switch. A fresh filter is the first thing to check.

- Serving all of Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City has some of the oldest furnaces on the Wasatch Front, tucked into the basements of bungalows and ramblers that have been through decades of winters. A furnace that clanks, short cycles or won’t light usually gives some warning first, and catching it early often keeps the repair small.
We repair all major furnace brands. Every visit starts with a full diagnostic, and you approve the price before any work begins.
What’s hard on Salt Lake City furnaces
Older furnaces in tight basements
Many Salt Lake City furnaces sit in small basement utility rooms that were never designed for them. Dust and poor combustion air wear out inducer motors and flame sensors faster.
Long January nights
January lows average in the mid-20s here. A furnace that runs long cycles all night puts the most wear on its ignitor, blower motor and control board.
Furnace repairs we handle in Salt Lake City
Many are fixed on the first visit.
Clanking or banging
A loose blower wheel, a failing inducer motor or delayed ignition. All of them get worse if they’re ignored.No heat
We test the ignitor, flame sensor, pressure switch and control board, and replace only what failed.Short cycling
Usually a dirty flame sensor, a clogged filter or a furnace that’s too big for the house.Hot upstairs, cold main floor
Often an airflow or duct balance problem in an older home, not a bad furnace.A burning or gas smell
Dust burning off at the first cold snap is normal. A gas smell is not: leave the house and call Enbridge Gas first.Thermostat problems
Wiring or settings that keep a good furnace from responding.

Repair or replace?
If your furnace is under about 15 years old and the repair is reasonable, repair it, and we’ll tell you so.
If it’s past 20 years old, clanking, or needs a major part, price a replacement first. Mark T. in Sugar House replaced a 24-year-old furnace and AC with a heat pump and high-efficiency furnace and stacked $3,450 in rebates. A furnace on its own starts at $3,990, installed in one day.

If you smell rotten eggs, get everyone outside and don’t flip switches or light anything. From outside, call Enbridge Gas at 1-800-767-1689 or 911. Call us for the furnace once the gas company says the home is safe.
On every job, no exceptions
We pull the permit
A permit means a city or county inspector checks the work for safety and code. It also protects you when you sell your home. Not every HVAC company pulls permits. We do on every job.
We haul away the old equipment
Your old furnace, AC or heat pump leaves with us. Nothing is left in your yard or garage for you to deal with.
We leave it cleaner than we found it
We clean up before we go and leave your home cleaner than we found it, so the only thing you notice is the new system.

Furnace repair in Salt Lake City: questions
Do you offer 24/7 furnace repair in Salt Lake City?
Yes. We’re open 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call 801-396-0019 or book online any time.
How much does furnace repair cost in Salt Lake City?
The diagnostic is $129, and you see the repair price before any work. Flame sensors and ignitors are small repairs; blower and inducer motors cost more. Essential Care Plan members save 10%.
Why does my furnace clank when it runs?
Usually a loose blower wheel, a worn motor mount or a failing inducer motor. It rarely fixes itself, so have it checked before a small repair turns into a big one.
Why does my furnace keep shutting off during inversions?
Dirty air clogs the filter faster, the furnace overheats, and its safety switch shuts it down. Replace the filter first; if it keeps happening, call us.
Is my 20-year-old furnace worth fixing?
For a small part, often yes. For a major repair, compare it with a new system: Salt Lake City homes get at least $2,150 in guaranteed rebates on a heat pump paired with a gas furnace.
