Millcreek Homes Have Been Through a Few Furnaces
A lot of Millcreek went up in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, from the ramblers around Canyon Rim to the homes climbing up into Olympus Cove. The houses have held up well, but most of them are on their second or third furnace by now.
Up in Olympus Cove it runs colder and the homes are bigger, so furnaces work harder. Down in the older neighborhoods it's usually a newer furnace hooked up to original ducts and venting.
Millcreek is about 20 minutes north of our shop in Sandy. We're up there all the time.
What We Find on Millcreek Furnace Calls
These come up over and over in Millcreek homes. Most are fixable in one visit.
Filters nobody can reach
When the furnace is jammed into a closet, the filter slot ends up behind a water heater or a shelf. It gets skipped for years, and the furnace overheats and shuts off.
The back bedroom is always cold
Ramblers have long duct runs to the far end of the house. Leaky joints, crushed ducts, and closed dampers mean that room never warms up.
Old swamp cooler vents
Plenty of Millcreek homes still have the ceiling vent from an old swamp cooler. If it was never sealed, a lot of your heat goes straight into the attic.
Old duct wrap and tape
White wrap or tape on older ductwork can contain asbestos. We don't cut into it. If it needs to come out, we'll point you to someone licensed to test and remove it.
Bigger homes up the bench
Homes up in Olympus Cove are bigger and colder, and their furnaces run long. Blower motors, capacitors, and inducers wear out sooner.
Flame sensors and igniters
Still the most common no-heat calls, no matter how old the house is. Quick fixes, and we usually have the part on the van.

Millcreek Furnace Repair FAQs
How much does furnace repair cost in Millcreek?

Are there rebates if I replace my furnace in Millcreek?
Yes. Millcreek is on Enbridge Gas and Rocky Mountain Power. Enbridge pays $300 to $350 back on a new 95% or higher furnace, and Rocky Mountain Power has rebates on qualifying heat pumps. We'll help you sort out what you qualify for.
My ducts have white tape on them. Is that a problem?
On older homes it might contain asbestos. It's usually fine if it's left alone. We won't cut into it, and if it needs to come out we'll tell you who can test and remove it safely.
Why is my back bedroom always cold?
In a rambler it's usually the duct run to that room. It's long, it may be leaky or crushed, or the damper is closed. We check the furnace first, then the ductwork, before we suggest anything.
How fast can you get to Millcreek?
It's about 20 minutes north of our shop in Sandy, so same day is often possible. Nights and weekends are a $99 dispatch fee.
