Answers to Common Questions About Your Home's Heating

All Utah Plumbing, Heating & Airs knows your home’s heating is a fundamental part of modern living, and as technology evolves, so too do our questions about it.

We know it’s hard to keep your place comfortable especially when you don’t know how the furnace, boilers and water heaters work. This goes for home or office.

That’s why we asked our HVAC technicians your most popular questions. View the questions below and click to see the answers.

How does a furnace work?

A furnace works by burning fuel to produce heat, then using a blower to circulate warm air through your home’s ductwork. Thermostats regulate the temperature to keep your space comfortable.

How often should I service my heater?

Regular servicing every six months to a year should be enough to keep your system running smoothly. Ideally, before winter season. Regular maintenance prolongs the unit’s lifespan.

How long do furnace usually last?

The average lifespan of a well maintained furnace is 15 to 20 years, with proper care and maintenance.

What temperature should I set my heater to?

In Utah and most places, it’s best to keep your AC at 78°F (25°C) in the summer and 68°F (20°C) in the winter for the most comfortable and energy-efficient experience.

Lowering it by 5-10°F (4-5°C) while you’re sleeping or away can save energy.

Why does my heater run constantly?

A heater running constantly may indicate a thermostat issue, an improperly sized unit, or a lack of proper insulation.

If your heater runs constantly then your system may be too small. There could be a problem that needs fixing. It’s best to consult a professional to diagnose and fix the problem.

We had a problem with our water heater that made it unsafe. John made sure it was taken care of right away. They had a new one installed in a timely manner. Me and my husband now feel safe. I would recommend them and will use this company in the future. Thankyou!

They showed up on time, very professional, made sure we knew exactly what happened and how they fixed it. Also with the A/C replacement they made sure to insulate the pipes going into our house. They also replaced our Heater and a pressure gage as well as our water heater! Phenomenal services! Will use again!

John and Anthony were professional and worked hard to diagnose what was causing the sewer'y smell in our sinks and drains. In the end, they recommended an easy solution we can do ourselves. A great result for the cost of a service call. Highly recommend!

Got an estimate on Monday and Tuesday by 1:30 I had a new subfloor and toilet installed. The professional and friendly manner John and Coy presented was notable. I would highly recommend this company and their service.

Customer service at it's best. This is my second experience with All Utah Plumbing, Heating and Air and I can confidently state they are my go to for anything heating, plumbing and HVAC related. I highly recommend them.
