Utah has a variable weather. Summers are very hot, sometimes touching up to 110 degree F, while winters bring incessant snow.

Common Issues with Heating Systems
• Total loss of heat
Suppose you turn the furnace on and the heating system gives you no response; you could say there is a total loss of heat. The problem could be as simple as a blown fuse to fused electric connections. In this case, you will need the services of an expert.
• Partial heat loss
The furnace is giving you heat, but not at its peak efficiency.
• Issues with the ductwork
The furnace supplies heated air to all the rooms, through a network of ducts. In some cases, these ducts may be blocked or there might be leaks, which might cause the heat to escape.
• Malfunctioning thermostat
If there is a considerable fluctuation in the temperature inside your home, there might be an issue with the thermostat. It may be in need of recalibration. If the thermostat cannot be repaired, replacing it with a new one can reduce your heating bills.
• Pilot light problem
The furnace will heat only when the pilot light is continuously lit. The flame in the pilot light should be blue and not yellow. A weak pilot light can raise carbon monoxide levels in your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can You Use Two Thermostats with One Furnace?
To install two thermostats, you’ll need to rewire your system and install dampers to create different zones. In addition to being complicated, this can lead to a loss of efficiency over time. Instead, we recommend opting for a two-system solution or ductless heating.
-
Can I Put My Furnace in the Attic or Crawl Space?
You should only install your furnace in the attic or crawl space if there’s sufficient insulation. Old homes are likely to have insulation issues, affecting your furnace’s efficiency.
-
Will My Furnace Run With A Cracked Heat Exchanger?
If your heat exchanger overheats, it can crack. Even the smallest cracks in your heat exchanger can release harmful gases like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrous oxide into your home, which is why it’s crucial to get it replaced immediately.
-
Why Is My Furnace Making a Popping Sound?
If you’ve recently replaced your furnace, it may make a popping sound when it first turns on. This is because the new blower is stronger than on the old one, causing the ductwork to expand and contract as it adjusts to the temperature.
-
Will My Furnace Run Without A Thermostat?
Yes, you can install a furnace without a thermostat by using a wire nut to connect the red and white wires together. However, it’s always best to seek help from the HVAC professionals to ensure your furnace functions safely and effectively.
-
How Do I Troubleshoot My Furnace?
If your furnace suddenly stops working, check your thermostat settings, circuit breaker, and furnace switch. If everything looks good, inspect or replace your air filter, wipe off your furnace flame sensor with a clean cloth, and look for error codes on your furnace’s display. If that doesn’t help, it’s time to contact Genuine Comfort for help.
-
What's the Difference Between an Upflow Furnace and a Counterflow Furnace?
Upflow furnaces blow air from the top of the furnace, while counterflow furnaces blow air from the bottom. Your duct system is configured for one or the other, and an HVAC technician can help you determine which is best for your home.
-
Do Furnaces Run off 110 Volts or 220 Volts?
Most traditional gas furnaces run off 110 to 115 volts. Some air handlers — especially older models – require more power, up to 220 volts.
-
What is a Furnace Condensate Pump?
Condensate is the water produced as a byproduct of the heating and cooling processes. The condensate pump removes and transports this water, preventing damage and improving system efficiency.
-
Why Is My 90% Furnace Leaking Water?
Your 90% furnace may be leaking water because the condensate line is blocked, your heat exchanger or humidifier is malfunctioning, or the drainage system is clogged.
-
Can I Use My Existing System to Heat My Basement or Addition?
Finishing your basement may require some changes to your HVAC system. Your HVAC system is sized based on the square footage. If you’re building an addition or finishing your basement, your existing HVAC system may not be large enough and the duct system may not be configured correctly to keep up with the additional demand.
-
What Do Blinking Lights on a Furnace Mean?
If there are blinking lights on your furnace, check the owner’s manual or the inside of the access panel to determine the pattern. It could indicate no heat or a system failure, ignition failure, flame sensor issues, pressure switch issues, or other electrical or mechanical failures.
-
Should I Leave My Furnace Fan on All the Time?
The furnace fan is responsible for circulating air throughout your home. Even if you’re not using the heater or air conditioner, leaving the furnace fan on can help maintain balanced temperatures cross different floors, improve indoor air quality, and enhance overall comfort.
-
Do Gas Furnaces Cause Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
As long as your gas furnace is properly maintained, you don’t have to worry about gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Other misconceptions about gas furnaces include the idea that you don’t need to schedule maintenance if it’s working fine, turning your furnace up heats your home faster, repairs are less expensive than replacement, gas furnaces dry out the air in your home, and closing vents in unused rooms saves you money.
-
Why Is Furnace Sizing Important?
The right size furnace for your home depends on square footage, layout, window configurations, and more. An undersized furnace will not be able to effectively heat your home, even if it’s running nonstop. An oversized furnace can cause fires, uneven heating, and decreased efficiency.
-
How Can I Fix Uneven Heating in My Home?
Uneven heating can be caused by restricted airflow, poor insulation, or HVAC system imbalances. Make sure all your vents are open and unobstructed, replace the air filters, use the ceiling fans in reverse, add weather stripping or insulation, or install a smart thermostat. If the problem persists, it’s time to call Genuine Comfort.
-
When Should I Upgrade My Old Furnace?
Signs that it’s time to upgrade your furnace include skyrocketing repair costs, rising energy bills, noisier operation, yellow furnace flames, ineffective heating, and poor indoor air quality.
-
Why Is My Furnace Short Cycling?
Short cycling is when your furnace turns on and off rapidly before it has completed a full heating cycle. It can occur due to dirty air filters, an overheating system, a dirty or damaged flame sensor, thermostat issues, or air leaks.
