Salt Lake City Furnace Repair & Service

If you don’t see a pilot light, you most likely have a hot surface ignitor or electronic spark ignition. Furnace manufacturers eliminated standing pilots to improve safety and efficiency years ago. Most modern furnaces use electronic ignition instead of pilot lights. 

If you’re struggling to get the electronic ignition working correctly or need further assistance starting up your furnace, contact Manwill. Our licensed furnace technicians can quickly get your furnace working correctly.

Water leaking out of your furnace is usually condensation backing up because of a drainage issue.

If you notice your furnace leaking any liquid, you likely have an issue that an HVAC technician should address. You should schedule an appointment with a Manwill expert as soon as possible.

High-efficient furnaces, also known as 90+ efficiency furnaces, create condensation during system operation. This condensation can pull an extra 10-18% heat out of the gas during the secondary heat exchange process. 

These 90+ efficient furnaces are also engineered with a drainage system that drains the condensation to an appropriate drain or pump. The water around the furnace or floor typically shows a backed-up drain or a bad secondary heat exchanger. If you notice any of these issues, you should make an inspection appointment with one of our HVAC technicians.

No. All forced-air furnaces, even those burning natural gas, need electricity. In modern gas furnaces, while the primary fuel burned to generate the heat is gas, the blowing and ignition systems are usually still powered by electricity. Generally, this gas/electric combination works safely and efficiently. However, it could be problematic if you are in an area with little to no access to electricity. 

If you are looking for a furnace option that doesn’t require electricity, there are several Natural and Propane Gas Fireplaces that operate without electricity. These can be a good source of supplemental heat if you don’t have electrical capabilities. However, furnaces that use electricity offer the most optimal heating features.

While it would be nice to have a quick number to reference, heating and air conditioning prices are just too complex. Many factors affect a home’s heating needs and, therefore, its heating costs. Understanding those factors and selecting the right furnace for the job can go a long way in keeping your heating costs lower overall.

A lot goes into choosing the right furnace, including the price. The cost of replacement furnaces ranges depending on the size and type of furnace you are considering. You should work with an experienced estimator if you want to select the right furnace for your home. These estimators will assess a variety of factors.

The size of your home will be a significant factor in determining how much a new furnace might cost. Heating large spaces requires a furnace with more capacity, efficiency, or both. Other factors include when your home was built, the amount of insulation, windows, walls, and doors. 

Working with an expert, you will find the option that best fits your budget and needs. 

Our team also recommends a heat load calculation to ensure you get the best furnace option. A good company should also provide different brands and furnace types with price quotes for each option. They may even have newer models that offer more energy efficiency. These energy-efficient furnaces can save you money over the long run by reducing your monthly heating costs.

An average furnace tune-up will take about an hour from start to finish. What happens during that hour?

The checklist ensures that everything is done properly and that nothing gets missed.

Most furnaces in Utah have an average life expectancy of approximately 16-18 years. For your furnace to last its full term, it must receive regular maintenance. A poorly maintained furnace will most likely last less time, while a well-maintained furnace may last up to 20 years.
