Furnace Repair Services for Gas and Electric Systems
A malfunctioning furnace in the middle of winter isn’t just inconvenient—it can be dangerous. Our expert technicians are trained to repair both gas and electric furnace systems, restoring heat quickly and safely.
From ignition problems to blower motor failures, we handle every furnace repair using manufacturer-approved parts and the latest diagnostic tools and equipment.
Common Furnace Repairs in Utah Homes
Utah homeowners rely on their heating systems to perform through long, cold winters—so when something goes wrong, quick furnace repair service is essential. At Western Heating & Air, we’re equipped to repair all types of gas and electric furnaces, restoring comfort and safety as quickly as possible.
Gas Furnace Repairs
Gas furnaces remain one of the most common systems in Utah homes due to their strong heat output and energy efficiency. However, they can experience unique problems that require certified technicians for safe repair.
Common issues include:
- Ignition or pilot light failure: Without a steady flame, your gas furnace can’t heat properly. This often points to a thermocouple or gas supply issue that needs immediate attention.
- Clogged burners or dirty components: Over time, soot and debris can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Regular HVAC maintenance prevents buildup and helps extend system life.
- Strange odors or yellow flames: If your furnace emits unusual smells or the flame burns yellow instead of blue, it could indicate incomplete combustion—an urgent sign to call for gas furnace service.
- Blower motor problems: Worn-out belts or bearings can cause loud noises or weak airflow through your home’s ductwork.
Our licensed HVAC technicians follow strict safety protocols for every gas furnace repair, ensuring your system runs efficiently and safely before the next cold front hits.
Electric Furnace Repairs
While electric furnaces don’t rely on gas combustion, they have their own set of challenges. These systems tend to be simpler and cleaner to operate, but depend heavily on electrical components that can fail over time.
Frequent electric furnace issues include:
- Heating element failure: The coils responsible for generating heat can burn out, resulting in uneven or weak warmth.
- Faulty limit switches or relays: Electrical components control temperature regulation; if they malfunction, your system may short-cycle or blow cool air.
- Wiring or power supply problems: Flickering lights or tripped breakers can be signs that your electric furnace is drawing too much current.
- Blower fan malfunctions: Similar to gas units, electric systems also rely on clean, well-functioning blowers to distribute air properly.
Because electrical issues can escalate quickly, professional electric furnace repair ensures safety and helps prevent unnecessary downtime or energy waste.
Whether you have a gas or electric model, timely furnace service keeps your heating system dependable through Utah’s coldest months. Our experienced team offers comprehensive gas furnace services, expert electric furnace repairs, and complete HVAC solutions to keep your system performing at its best.

Signs You Need Furnace Repairs
You don’t have to wait for a complete breakdown to call for help. Watch for these early warning signs that your furnace needs professional attention:
- Rising energy bills: A sudden spike in utility costs may indicate an inefficient system.
- Cold air or weak heat: Your heating system should deliver steady warmth; inconsistent output signals trouble.
- Unusual sounds or smells: Banging, rattling, or burning odors are all signs your unit needs inspection.
- Frequent cycling:If your system turns on and off repeatedly, it may be overheating or misreading thermostat signals.
- Yellow or flickering flame (Gas Furnaces): This could indicate incomplete combustion—a serious safety concern.

Furnace Installation and Replacement Services
When it’s time for a new heating system, choosing the right furnace and the right installation team makes all the difference. Western Heating & Air provides expert furnace installation services across Utah, specializing in both gas and electric furnace systems.
Whether you’re upgrading an older unit or replacing a failed one, our certified HVAC installers ensure your new system runs efficiently, quietly, and safely from day one.
We carry and install a wide range of furnaces, including:
- Gas Furnaces: Reliable, energy-efficient systems ideal for Utah’s colder climates.
- Electric Furnaces: Great for homes without gas lines, offering clean, consistent heat.
- Condensing Furnaces: High-efficiency units with AFUE ratings up to 98%, designed to maximize heat from every drop of fuel.
Every installation includes a full system inspection, proper duct sizing verification, and a clean setup that meets or exceeds manufacturer standards.
Energy Efficiency Considerations
Upgrading your furnace isn’t just about comfort—it’s also about energy performance. A modern furnace can lower your energy costs by as much as 30% compared to older, inefficient models.
If your furnace is more than 15 years old, upgrading can help reduce energy consumption, increase comfort, and enhance air quality. Our team can also help you qualify for potential rebates and manufacturer incentives on high-efficiency systems.
When to Replace Instead of Repair
It’s not always easy to decide whether to repair or replace your furnace. Here are a few guidelines that can help you make the best choice:
- Age of the System: Furnaces older than 15–20 years are more prone to breakdowns and inefficiencies.
- Repair Costs: If repairs exceed 50% of the cost of a new unit, replacement is typically the smarter investment.
- Energy Bills: Consistently rising energy costs are a sign your system is losing efficiency.
- Uneven Heating: Persistent comfort issues often indicate deeper mechanical wear.
- Frequent Repairs: Needing service calls more than twice a season suggests your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan.

Preventative Furnace Maintenance & Seasonal HVAC Services
Routine furnace maintenance is the best way to prevent breakdowns and ensure efficient heating all season long. At Western Heating & Air, our HVAC experts offer professional tune-ups and inspections that help catch small issues before they become major repairs.
Utah’s climate can be hard on heating systems—cold winters, dry air, and frequent temperature swings lead to faster wear and tear. Scheduling seasonal HVAC service helps maintain performance, lower energy bills, and extend your system’s lifespan.
Best Time for a Furnace Tune-Up in Utah
For most Utah homeowners, the best time to schedule furnace service is in early fall, around September or October. A pre-winter tune-up ensures your heating system runs efficiently before temperatures drop.
It’s also smart to book a quick HVAC maintenance visit in spring (March or April). This allows for filter changes and a post-season check to keep your system clean and ready for the next cold season. Regular tune-ups twice a year can help prevent breakdowns and extend the life of your furnace.
