A furnace never fails on a mild afternoon. It fails on the coldest night of a Salt Lake Valley January, when the house loses heat fast and every repair calendar in the county is filling up. Maybe yours is blowing cold air, short-cycling every few minutes, making a noise it never made before — or it won’t start at all, and you’re deciding who to trust at 9pm.
Furnace repair starts with a proper diagnosis, not a parts swap. A technician tests the system under load — igniter, flame sensor, blower motor, limit switches, gas supply, and airflow — to find the actual fault rather than the loudest symptom. You get a clear explanation of what failed, what it costs to fix, and honest advice on whether the repair is worth making before any work begins.
That up-front approach is why homeowners across the valley have rated Larsen HVAC & Plumbing 4.9 stars over more than hundreds of Google reviews — many describing repairs done the same day or the next business day, without the upsell. The team repairs all makes and models, with Rheem and Ruud as declared specialisms, and emergency cover runs after hours and on weekends when a no-heat call can’t wait.
What calling a proper repair team gets you
- A tested diagnosis of the real fault, explained before any work starts
- Up-front pricing, so the decision is yours before a wrench turns
- Repairs on all makes and models, not only the brands a company sells
- After-hours and weekend emergency response for no-heat situations
- A straight answer when replacement would serve you better than another repair
- Carbon monoxide checked as part of the visit, not as an add-on
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
Usually one of four faults: a dirty flame sensor shutting the burner down, a failed igniter, a clogged filter tripping the limit switch, or a thermostat fault calling for fan without heat. Some of these are quick fixes; a proper diagnosis under load tells you which one you have instead of guessing at parts.
Why does my furnace keep turning on and off?
Short-cycling — the furnace firing and shutting down every few minutes — is most often caused by restricted airflow from a clogged filter, an overheating heat exchanger, or an oversized unit. It wears components fast and spikes utility bills, so it’s worth diagnosing early rather than waiting for the full breakdown it usually leads to.
Is a yellow furnace flame dangerous?
Treat it seriously. A healthy gas flame burns blue; a yellow or flickering flame can mean incomplete combustion, which produces carbon monoxide. Turn the furnace off and book a repair visit — combustion testing and carbon monoxide checks identify whether the burner, venting, or heat exchanger is the cause before the furnace runs again.
What to Check Before You Call — and When Not to Wait
A few checks can save you a call-out; a few signs mean you should stop and pick up the phone.
Worth checking yourself first
- Confirm the thermostat is set to heat and the set temperature is above the room’s — our technicians find this more often than anyone admits.
- Check the filter. A fully clogged filter can shut a furnace down on its limit switch, and swapping it takes two minutes.
- Look for the furnace power switch (it looks like a light switch, near the unit) and check your breaker panel — either can be flipped by accident.
- Make sure supply and return vents aren’t blocked by furniture or storage, especially in a finished basement.
- If it still won’t run after those checks, stop there — repeatedly resetting a faulting furnace can turn a small repair into a large one.
Call a professional immediately if
- You smell gas — leave the house first, then call from outside
- Your carbon monoxide detector sounds, or anyone has unexplained headaches or nausea at home
- The flame burns yellow instead of blue, or soot is appearing around the unit
- You hear grinding or metal-on-metal noise — that's a component failing, not a quirk
- The furnace trips the breaker repeatedly, which points to an electrical fault

What Our Clients Say
"Honest, reliable and outstanding service. Shawn fixed my furnace on Christmas Eve day! He noticed my hot water heater was about to burst and 3 days later, I have a new water heater that is now installed to code...the plumber and assistant left my home better than they found it. Thank you so very much. Very impressive company and team!"

Why Furnace Repair Is Urgent Work in West Jordan
The Salt Lake Valley sits in a cold semi-arid climate where winter design temperatures fall near the single digits Fahrenheit — the conditions heating systems here are engineered against, and the conditions they fail in. At those temperatures, a dead furnace isn’t an overnight inconvenience: an unheated house loses safe margin within hours, pipes become a risk, and anyone elderly, ill, or very young in the home feels it fastest.
That’s why furnace repair in West Jordan is treated as urgent work by default rather than booked out like routine maintenance, and why after-hours capability matters more here than it would in a mild climate. A no-heat call on a February evening gets handled as the emergency it is — which is exactly the situation the after-hours and weekend emergency cover exists for.
The practical advice that follows from the climate: don’t run a struggling furnace into the coldest stretch of the season. The faults that strand homeowners in January — failing igniters, worn blower motors, short-cycling — almost always announce themselves earlier, when a repair visit is easy to book and the house isn’t losing heat while you wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer emergency furnace repair in West Jordan?
Yes — after-hours and weekend emergency service is available for no-heat situations, beyond the standard Monday to Friday hours. Call (801) 930-5450 and you’ll reach the team directly. In a Salt Lake Valley cold snap, a furnace failure is treated as the emergency it is.
How much does furnace repair cost?
It depends on the fault — an igniter and a blower motor are very different jobs. What’s fixed is the process: you get the diagnosis and the price up front, before any work begins, so you’re never approving a repair you haven’t seen explained and costed.
Should I repair my furnace or replace it?
Weigh the system’s age against the repair. A furnace past 15 years facing a major component failure is usually better replaced; a younger unit with a first fault is usually worth fixing. You’ll get both paths priced honestly — including when the answer is that a repair is all you need.
Do you repair all furnace brands?
Yes. Larsen HVAC & Plumbing repairs all makes and models, with Rheem and Ruud as the team’s declared equipment specialisms. The technician diagnosing your furnace is trained on the system in front of them, not limited to one product line.
What should I do if my carbon monoxide detector goes off?
Get everyone outside first, then call for help from there. Don’t reset the detector and carry on — carbon monoxide is odorless, and a furnace with a combustion or venting fault can produce it. The furnace should stay off until it has been tested and cleared.
