Industry Tips

Signs That Your Furnace Needs Repair Services

Watching for signs that your furnace may need repair is crucial to avoiding costly breakdowns or premature replacements. Our skilled HVAC technicians highlight some of the most common indicators to help you stay ahead of potential issues:

Unusual noises

  • Banging or popping: Often indicates delayed ignition—gas builds up before igniting, causing a small explosion. This can damage your heat exchanger over time.
  • Screeching or squealing: Usually a failing blower motor or worn belt (in older units). Without repair, the blower could fail completely.
  • Rattling: Could be loose panels, ductwork issues, or internal component problems. Worth investigating before it worsens.

Performance Issues

  • Uneven heating: Some rooms hot, others cold. Could indicate ductwork problems, blower issues, or a furnace that's losing capacity.
  • Short cycling: Furnace turns on and off frequently without reaching target temperature. Often caused by overheating, thermostat issues, or airflow restrictions.
  • Running constantly: Furnace never shuts off. May indicate an undersized system, extreme heat loss, or failing components.

Visible Warning Signs

  • Yellow pilot light: Should be blue. Yellow indicates incomplete combustion and potential carbon monoxide production.
  • Rust or cracks: Any visible corrosion or damage to the furnace cabinet or components warrants professional inspection.
  • Soot around furnace: Black residue indicates combustion problems requiring immediate attention.

Comfort and Cost Indicators

  • Rising energy bills: If your heating costs jump without explanation, your furnace may be losing efficiency due to wear.
  • Frequent repairs: If you're calling for repairs multiple times per season, replacement may be more economical.
  • Age 15+ years: Furnaces over 15 years old become increasingly unreliable and inefficient.

Common Repairs

Common Furnace Repairs We Perform

Air Pros technicians diagnose and repair all types of furnace problems. Here are the most common issues we see in Salt Lake City homes:

Ignition System Problems

  • Failed ignitor: The most common furnace repair. Hot surface ignitors wear out over time and need replacement.
  • Flame sensor issues: A dirty or failed flame sensor prevents the furnace from staying lit. Often just needs cleaning.
  • Pilot light problems: In older furnaces, pilot light issues can prevent heat production.

Blower Motor & Airflow

  • Blower motor failure: Motor may run slowly, intermittently, or not at all. May need repair or replacement.
  • Capacitor replacement: Failed capacitors prevent the blower from starting.
  • Belt replacement: Older furnaces with belt-driven blowers need periodic belt replacement.

Heat Exchanger Issues

  • Cracked heat exchanger: A serious safety issue that often requires furnace replacement.
  • Heat exchanger leaks: Can cause efficiency problems and safety concerns.

Control & Electrical

  • Thermostat problems: Sometimes the issue isn't the furnace—it's the thermostat.
  • Control board failure: The furnace's "brain" can fail, preventing proper operation.
  • Electrical connection issues: Loose or corroded connections cause intermittent problems.

Ductwork & Airflow

  • Duct leaks: Leaky ducts reduce efficiency and comfort.
  • Filter/airflow restrictions: Dirty filters or blocked returns cause overheating.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Furnace

Not every furnace problem requires replacement—but sometimes repair isn't the wisest investment. Here's how to decide:

Consider Replacement If:

  • Your furnace is 15+ years old and facing a major repair
  • Repair costs exceed $1,500 on an older system
  • You've had multiple repairs in the past two seasons
  • Your energy bills keep climbin despite maintenance
  • The heat exchanger is cracked (safety issue requiring replacement)
  • Parts are no longer available for your model

Repair Makes Sense If:

  • Your furnace is under 10 years old
  • The repair is straightforward (ignitor, flame sensor, capacitor)
  • This is your first significant repair
  • The repair cost is under $500
  • Your furnace has been well-maintained
FAQS

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer emergency furnace repair services?

an arrow pointing down

Yes! We offer 24/7 emergency service for furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioning units.. If it heats or cools, we can help get it back online ASAP.

How can I tell if I need a furnace replacement instead of repair?

an arrow pointing down

If your furnace is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or isn’t heating your home effectively, it might be time for a replacement. Our technicians can provide an honest assessment to help you decide.

Will my furnace repair be covered by my warranty?

an arrow pointing down

Furnace repair coverage depends on the terms of your manufacturer’s warranty. Many warranties cover certain parts for a set period (usually 5-10 years), but they may not include labor costs or repairs due to improper maintenance. Be sure to review your warranty and contact us for assistance if you're unsure about what is covered. If your warranty has expired, we offer affordable repair options and financing plans.

How much does a typical furnace repair cost?

an arrow pointing down

Most furnace repairs in Salt Lake City cost between $150 and $600, depending on the problem. Simple fixes like ignitor or flame sensor replacement are on the lower end, while blower motor or control board repairs cost more. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins.

How long does a furnace repair take?

an arrow pointing down

Most furnace repairs take 1-2 hours once the technician arrives. We stock common parts on our service vehicles to complete most repairs in a single visit. Complex repairs requiring ordered parts may require a follow-up appointment.

Can I troubleshoot furnace problems myself?

an arrow pointing down

Some issues have simple solutions: check that the thermostat is set correctly, ensure the furnace switch is on, and replace the filter if it's dirty. Beyond these basics, furnace repair involves gas lines, electrical components, and combustion systems that require professional expertise for safety.

Why does my furnace keep turning off?

an arrow pointing down

A furnace that cycles on and off frequently (short cycling) is usually overheating due to restricted airflow (dirty filter, blocked vents), a malfunctioning flame sensor, or thermostat problems. This issue should be addressed promptly—continuous overheating damages components.

What should I do if I smell gas near my furnace?

an arrow pointing down

Leave your home immediately, don't operate any electrical switches or appliances, and call your gas company from outside. Once they've confirmed safety, contact Air Pros to inspect your furnace. Gas leaks are serious safety hazards requiring immediate professional attention.

I can't recommend Alex and Air Pros Heating & Cooling enough. A friend referred him to us, he came same day to provide a quote and once we approved it, he was able to install within 48 hours for a new furnace + A/C. His quote was complete, he was very communicative, polite and respectful. He also did follow up after completing the job to ensure everything was working as expected and completed the warranty registration for us. Great experience.

Alex was awesome! He really thought about the little details in this project that gave me the confidence that my furnace and air conditioner is going to last for a long time.
