Split-Levels and 20 Year Old Furnaces
Taylorsville was mostly farmland until the 70s and didn't become a city until 1996. Most homes went up in the 70s and 80s, and a lot of them are split-levels and ramblers.
Most of those houses are on their second furnace, and plenty of the replacements went in around the early 2000s. That puts them around 20 years old, which is when the bigger parts start going.
We're a short drive up I-215 from Sandy and in Taylorsville every week, with the same pricing as Sandy.
Common Taylorsville Furnace Problems
Split-levels and 20 year old furnaces have their own set of problems. Here's what we fix most.
Upstairs hot, lower level cold
Split-levels fight themselves. Warm air rises to the top floor while the lower level stays cold. Often it's dampers, fan settings, or return air, not the furnace.
Thermostat in the wrong spot
In a lot of split-levels the thermostat sits where it reads one floor and controls all of them. Moving it or adding a sensor can fix a lot.
Frozen condensate line
If a high-efficiency furnace drains outside or through a cold garage, the line can freeze on a cold night and shut the furnace down.
Inducer and pressure switch trouble
On a furnace around 20 years old, these are the parts we replace most. A noisy start-up is the warning.
Short cycling
Running a few minutes, then off, then on again. Usually a dirty flame sensor, a clogged filter, or the furnace overheating.
No heat on the first cold night
The first real cold snap is when weak igniters and tired capacitors finally give up. A tune-up in the fall catches most of them.
Quick Checks Before You Call
Try these first. They fix more Taylorsville no-heat calls than you'd guess.
- Thermostat on Heat and set above the room temperature
- Filter isn't clogged
- If the drain line runs outside or through the garage, check that it isn't frozen
- Furnace switch and breaker are on
- Registers on the lower level are open and not covered by furniture
- Smell gas? Leave the house first, then call Enbridge Gas or 911 from outside. Don't flip switches.
Our weekday charge to come out and figure out what's wrong, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. Go ahead with the repair and we put the $39 toward it.
Nights, weekends, and holidays: $99.

Taylorsville Furnace Repair FAQs

Why is one floor of my split-level always colder?
Warm air rises, and split-levels have a lot of levels for it to rise through. Usually it's dampers, the fan setting, return air, or where the thermostat is. We look at all of it before we tell you anything needs replacing.
My furnace shut off on a really cold night. What happened?
On a high-efficiency furnace, a frozen condensate line is a common cause, especially if it drains outside or through the garage. Other causes are a weak igniter or a dirty flame sensor. We'll find which one it is.
My furnace went in around 2004. Is it worth fixing?
Usually, if it's one part and the heat exchanger is solid. At 20 years, if it needs a big part or keeps breaking, we'll give you both the repair and replacement price so you can decide.
Do you come to Taylorsville after hours?
Yes. Nights, weekends, and holidays are a $99 dispatch fee. Weekdays 9 to 5 it's $39, and that goes toward the repair.
