Overview
What fails on Orem furnaces — and what it costs
Most furnace repair calls in Orem come down to the same half-dozen failures — flame sensor, ignitor, blower motor, pressure switch, gas valve, or control board. Our techs carry all of them on the truck in common sizes, which is why 70%+ of repair calls finish the same visit.
Orem's older housing stock means we see a lot of furnaces in the 18 to 25 year range. That cohort has its own pattern: gas valves drifting, control boards going intermittent, blower motors seizing, and the big one — heat exchanger cracks. We do a heat exchanger visual inspection on every repair call, full stop. Cracked exchangers leak CO into the supply air, and that's not negotiable.
The six most common Orem calls
- Flame sensor cleaning or replacement — $145 to $245, usually 30 minutes
- Hot surface ignitor replacement — $245 to $395
- Pressure switch — $285 to $485 (common on the 90s/2000s Orem cohort)
- Gas valve — $385 to $685 (very common on aging Orem furnaces)
- Blower motor — $485 to $925 (ECM pricier than PSC)
- Control board — $385 to $825
Repair-first when the math works
Orem households tend to be budget-conscious. We lean repair-first when we can. A $245 flame sensor on an otherwise-healthy 14-year-old unit gets you 4 to 6 more winters. A $385 pressure switch on a maintained 12-year-old, same thing. We'll show you the part that failed, explain what it does, and quote flat-rate before we turn a wrench.
When replacement is the honest call
Sometimes the math flips. A $900 control board on an 18-year-old furnace? You're 40% toward a brand new 95% AFUE that'll last another 15 to 20 years and cut gas bills 15 to 25%. Cracked heat exchanger? Almost never worth repairing — replace the unit. We do the actual numbers with you and let you make the call. No upsell pressure.
Property managers and rental calls
Significant chunk of our Orem furnace repair volume is rental property — 800 N student housing, fourplexes off Center Street, multi-tenant on State Street. We invoice direct to the property management company, send PDFs to AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, ResMan, or Propertyware. Tenants don't pay if they don't own. Quality Service Club HVAC for properties with 5+ units gets bulk pricing.
Winter emergencies
Below 20°F overnight, a failed furnace means frozen pipes in 4 to 6 hours, especially in older galvanized-pipe Orem homes. We dispatch from State Street with priority on cold-snap nights. After-hours surcharge $95 to $150. Quality Service Club HVAC members skip the regular dispatch queue.

Warning signs
Signs Your Orem Furnace Needs Attention
Most furnace failures announce themselves before the full breakdown. If you're hearing or seeing any of these, get it looked at before it dies in January.
Furnace blows cold air or lukewarm instead of hot
Short cycling — runs 2-5 minutes then shuts off, repeats
Thermostat is calling for heat but furnace isn't responding
Pilot light (older units) keeps going out
Clicking or rumbling from the burner area
Strange smells — electrical burning, gas, or musty
Yellow flame color instead of blue (carbon monoxide risk)
Higher gas bills with no change in thermostat setting
House has uneven heating — some rooms cold, others fine
Below zero
No heat on a 10° Orem night? Don't wait.
Below 20°F overnight, a dead furnace turns into frozen pipes in 4-6 hours — especially in older galvanized-pipe Orem homes. 60-minute emergency dispatch from State Street, 24/7 all winter.

The Process
How an Orem Furnace Repair Call Goes
On the truck
Cable machine, jetter, and pipe camera — every call.
Phone triage
We ask the symptom, model if you have it, age of the unit. Half the time the diagnosis is 80% locked before we dispatch from State Street.
Full-system diagnostic
Tech tests ignition sequence, gas pressure, flame rectification, pressure switch, blower amperage, heat exchanger visual, and thermostat call. Walk-through before any quoting.
Honest quote
Flat-rate for the repair, given upfront. If your system is 17 years old and the quote is $900, we do the math on replacement before you authorize. No upsell pressure.
Same-visit fix when possible
Most common parts are on the truck. Control boards for less-common brands occasionally need to be ordered (next day).
Safety check before we leave
CO test at every register, flame color check, combustion analysis on newer units. Not optional — we don't leave with an unsafe unit running.
