Is It Time for a New Furnace?
Furnaces don’t quit all at once. They fade. Maybe one room never gets warm. Maybe the system runs nonstop, and your bills climb every month.
You might hear a low rattle when it starts or smell something that wasn’t there before. Those are all signs it’s wearing out.
If your furnace is 15 years old or more, it’s worth having a technician check it. Sometimes a simple repair can add a few more seasons. Other times, replacement is the smarter call.
A new system runs quieter, uses less fuel, and keeps the temperature steady through every cold stretch in Salt Lake City.
How to Choose the Right Heating System
Every home is different. What works in a downtown SLC bungalow might not work in a newer home near Draper or Sandy. We start by looking at your layout, insulation, and how you use your space.
A smaller, well-sealed home might do best with a high-efficiency furnace or heat pump. A larger home with older ducts might need a different setup.
Our team explains your options in plain terms. We’ll tell you what’s worth fixing and what isn’t, then help you choose a system that fits your comfort and your budget.
Types of Heating Systems
There’s more than one way to heat a home in Utah. Here are the most common systems we work with:
Gas Furnaces
The standard for many Salt Lake City homes. Gas furnaces heat air quickly and deliver steady warmth even on the coldest nights.
Electric Furnaces
A good choice for homes without a gas line. They’re simple to maintain and last a long time, though they can use more electricity.
Heat Pumps
A heat pump does both heating and cooling. It moves heat instead of creating it, which makes it efficient and clean. It’s a strong option for moderate SLC winters.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Perfect for homes without ductwork or for rooms that never stay the right temperature. They let you control heat room by room and run quietly.
Boilers
Boilers use hot water or steam to provide radiant warmth. They’re dependable, energy-efficient, and great for older homes with radiator systems.

FAQs
How long do home heating systems last?
Most last 12 to 20 years. Regular service makes a big difference in how long yours will run.
What are the signs that I need furnace repair?
Uneven heat, unusual noises, or higher bills are early warnings. If the system struggles to keep up, call for service before winter sets in.
How often should I schedule heating maintenance?
Once a year, ideally in the fall. A quick inspection and cleaning can save you from a breakdown when temperatures drop.
What size heating system does my home need?
Sizing depends on square footage, insulation, and window quality. Our technicians calculate it so your system heats evenly without wasting energy.
Are high-efficiency furnaces worth it?
Yes. They use less fuel, lower monthly costs, and often qualify for energy rebates in Utah.
