Our Team
Expert repair service for reliable home heating
Many furnace issues can be effectively repaired, saving you the considerable expense of premature replacement.
Our experienced technicians diagnose and fix problems with all types of furnace systems, from traditional gas furnaces to modern high-efficiency models. We identify the specific cause of your heating problems and implement targeted repairs that address the underlying issue, not just the symptoms.
Benefits of professional furnace repair
Restore comfortable temperatures quickly
When your furnace malfunctions, professional repair restores the consistent heating your family depends on for comfort and safety. Rather than enduring days of cold indoor temperatures or relying on inadequate space heaters, prompt repair gets your system working properly again, often within a single service visit.
Last winter, we helped a family in Herriman who had been without heat for two days – we diagnosed and repaired their failed ignition system in just one hour, immediately restoring their home’s warmth.
Save money compared to replacement
Many furnace issues can be effectively repaired at a fraction of replacement cost, especially for units less than 10-12 years old. Professional diagnosis determines whether repair makes economic sense based on your unit’s age, condition, and the specific problem. Often, replacing a component like an igniter, flame sensor, or control board extends your furnace’s useful life by years at minimal cost compared to full replacement.
Improve efficiency and reduce energy costs
Furnaces operating with mechanical problems typically use more energy to produce the same heat output. Professional repairs restore proper efficiency, often resulting in noticeable reductions in monthly heating bills. Something as simple as replacing a dirty filter or adjusting gas pressure can significantly improve performance, directly translating to energy savings. Many homeowners notice lower utility bills immediately after repairs that address efficiency-robbing issues.
Prevent safety risks
Malfunctioning furnaces can create serious safety concerns including carbon monoxide leaks, gas leaks, or fire hazards. Professional repair addresses these potential dangers, ensuring your heating system operates safely. When we repaired a furnace for a West Jordan family who complained about strange odors when their system ran, we discovered a cracked heat exchanger that was allowing combustion gases into their home – a serious safety issue that required immediate attention.
What We Do
Features of our furnace repair service
Repairs for all furnace types
Each system has unique components and common failure points that require specific expertise. Our team stays current with manufacturer training and repair techniques for all major brands and technologies, ensuring effective repairs regardless of your specific furnace type.
Our technicians are skilled at repairing all types of furnaces, including:
- Traditional gas furnaces
- High-efficiency condensing furnaces
- Electric furnaces
- Propane heating systems
- Oil furnaces
- Dual fuel hybrid systems
Comprehensive diagnostic process
Before attempting any repair, we conduct a thorough diagnostic assessment that identifies the specific issue affecting your furnace. This includes electronic system testing, airflow measurement, combustion analysis, and detailed inspection of all components. This systematic approach prevents misdiagnosis and ensures we address the actual problem rather than guessing based on symptoms alone.
Same-day service for heating emergencies
We understand that furnace failures during cold weather create urgent situations that can’t wait. For complete heating loss during winter months, we prioritize same-day emergency service whenever possible. Our technicians arrive with fully-stocked service vehicles equipped with common repair parts for most furnace brands and models. This preparation allows us to complete many repairs in a single visit, restoring your heat without unnecessary delays.
Safety verification with every repair
Furnace systems involve potential hazards including combustion gases, high temperatures, and electrical components. Our repair process always includes comprehensive safety verification to ensure your system operates within proper parameters. We check carbon monoxide levels, test limit switches, verify proper venting, and confirm all safety devices are functioning correctly. This thorough approach protects your family while ensuring your repair meets all applicable safety standards.
Component-level repairs
These component-level repairs address specific issues without requiring full system replacement when your furnace’s main structure remains sound. In many cases, replacing a single failed component restores complete system functionality at a fraction of replacement cost.
We perform targeted repairs to specific furnace components, including:
- Ignition system repair and replacement
- Flame sensor cleaning and replacement
- Blower motor service
- Heat exchanger inspection and repair
- Thermostat troubleshooting and replacement
- Control board repair and replacement
- Gas valve service
- Draft inducer motor repair
- Limit switch replacement
- Transformer and relay service

When problems arise, prompt, professional repair restores that comfort while protecting your investment in your furnace.
Warning signs you need furnace repair
When an Eagle Mountain family called because their furnace was blowing lukewarm air, we discovered a partially blocked burner assembly – a thorough cleaning restored full heating capacity without requiring expensive parts.
Insufficient or no heat
The most obvious sign of furnace problems is inadequate heating – either no heat at all or insufficient warmth to maintain comfortable temperatures. This issue might stem from ignition problems, airflow restrictions, thermostat malfunctions, or control system failures. Professional diagnosis identifies the specific cause and determines the appropriate repair solution.
Strange noises during operation
Unusual sounds like banging, squealing, rumbling, or rattling indicate mechanical problems that need attention.
Frequent cycling (turning on and off repeatedly)
Furnaces designed for extended operation cycles that instead turn on and off frequently are “short cycling” – a condition that wastes energy and increases wear on components.
Thermostat issues
When your thermostat setting doesn’t match your home’s actual temperature or the system doesn’t respond to setting changes, the problem could lie with either the thermostat itself or the furnace’s control system.
Yellow flame instead of blue
Gas furnaces should produce a steady blue flame during combustion. A yellow or flickering flame indicates incomplete combustion, which reduces efficiency and can produce carbon monoxide.
Increasing utility bills
If your heating costs have risen significantly without corresponding changes in thermostat settings or fuel prices, your furnace is likely operating inefficiently. Problems with combustion, heat transfer, or airflow force the system to work harder and use more fuel to maintain the same temperature.
These issues might involve wiring problems, calibration errors, or electronic failures. Accurate diagnosis determines whether a simple thermostat replacement will resolve the issue or if deeper furnace repairs are needed.
Furnace issues that might cause carbon monoxide production include cracked heat exchangers, blocked vents, or improper combustion adjustments. These safety-critical problems require immediate professional attention to protect your family’s health and safety.
Carbon monoxide detector activation
If your carbon monoxide detectors sound an alarm, this indicates a potentially serious problem with your furnace’s combustion or venting. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and extremely dangerous. Furnace issues that might cause carbon monoxide production include cracked heat exchangers, blocked vents, or improper combustion adjustments.
Pilot light or ignition problems
If your gas furnace won’t light or frequently loses its pilot flame, the problem may lie with the thermocouple, pilot assembly, or ignition system. For newer units with electronic ignition, control board or igniter problems may prevent proper startup. Beyond heating repairs, our team provides complete general plumbing services including gas line work, fixture installations, and water heater maintenance.
