Denver

Furnace Repair in Denver: what's different

Denver furnaces face cold snaps and rapid temperature swings, and altitude affects how they burn. Many repairs involve igniters, flame sensors, inducer motors and pressure switches, as well as combustion adjustments for elevation.

Older bungalows often have basement furnaces with original ductwork. Denver requires licensed contractors and permits for furnace replacement, and Xcel Energy has offered programs for efficient heating upgrades.

Ask the tech to verify gas pressure and combustion readings after any repair. At Denver's altitude, these readings confirm the furnace is burning safely and efficiently. If your furnace is over 15 years old, ask for a heat exchanger inspection as well.

FAQ

Furnace Repair questions

Why does altitude matter for furnace repair in Denver?+

Furnaces must be adjusted for elevation to burn cleanly. Incorrect setup can cause poor performance or carbon monoxide.

Why does my furnace turn on then off right away?+

The most common reason is a dirty flame sensor, which can't prove the flame so the board shuts the gas off. Other causes are a weak pressure switch or a blocked vent.

Is a cracked heat exchanger dangerous?+

It can be, because it may let combustion gases mix with house air. A tech will usually shut the furnace off and red-tag it until it is repaired or replaced.
