From the hallway, a furnace that will not heat looks the same no matter what broke. Inside the cabinet, though, the sequence is strict: inducer on, pressure switch closed, igniter glowing, gas valve open, burners lit, flame proven, and finally the blower moving heat through the ducts. Diagnosis is mostly a matter of finding where that chain breaks. In Lehi homes, it tends to be the same handful of culprits: a flame sensor coated in oxide, a hot surface igniter cracked by thermal cycling, a pressure switch held open by a tired inducer or a plugged condensate trap, or a control board with a burned relay.

When to Call for Furnace Repair in Lehi
The sooner you notice these red flags, the easier and cheaper the fix. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- Grinding or high-pitched squeals from the blower
- A furnace that shuts off every few minutes before the house warms up
- Burners light, run a few seconds, then shut down repeatedly
- Booming or banging at light-off from delayed ignition
- A fan that keeps running while the registers blow cool air
- Water, rust stains, or black soot around the flue or cabinet
- Yellow, wavering burner flames where they should be sharp blue
- Clicking and a glowing igniter with no burner flame
