Quick answers
Furnace won't turn on at all?
Answer: Check the thermostat (Heat mode, new batteries), the furnace power switch, the breaker, and the furnace door panel, which has a safety switch. If those are fine, request service.
Furnace lights then shuts off?
Answer: This is often a dirty flame sensor or a venting or pressure-switch problem. Repeated restarts can be a safety lockout; have a technician check it.
Should I worry about a cracked heat exchanger?
Answer: Yes, it can let combustion gases into the home. Make sure you have working CO alarms and get a second opinion if a contractor recommends replacement for this reason.
Winter furnace emergencies in Utah County
Winter nights along the Wasatch Front regularly drop well below freezing, and a furnace that quits in January can let a house get cold fast. Pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces can freeze if a home loses heat for long. If your furnace stops, check the thermostat, breaker, furnace switch, and filter first. If it still won't run, use safe space heaters (never a gas oven or grill indoors), open cabinet doors under sinks, and request help.
Carbon monoxide: if a CO alarm sounds or anyone feels dizzy or sick, get everyone outside and call 911. Smell gas? Leave, then call your gas utility from outside.
Before you hire anyone
Check the license yourself
HVAC work in Utah is done by state-licensed contractors. Before you sign anything, look the company up on the Utah DOPL license lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
Ask the right questions
Ask each company what the visit includes, what work they recommend and why, and the warranty on parts and work. For a replacement, ask for the model numbers and efficiency rating (AFUE for furnaces, SEER2 for AC).

Frequently asked questions
What affects a furnace repair?
It depends on the part that failed and the work involved. Ask the technician to explain the problem before work starts.
Repair or replace my furnace?
Many homeowners consider replacing a furnace that is roughly 15–20 years old, needs a major repair, or has a cracked heat exchanger. Ask each contractor to explain both repair and replacement options so you can compare.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
Common causes are a dirty flame sensor, a failed ignitor, a clogged filter causing the furnace to overheat and shut off the burners, or a thermostat fan set to On instead of Auto.
