Furnace Installation in Orem, Utah – Orem Heating and Air Pros
We are your local Orem Heating and Air Pros, and furnace installation is one of the most significant home improvement decisions an Orem homeowner makes. A new furnace will be responsible for keeping your family warm through Utah Valley winters for the next 15 to 20 years. Getting it right — the right system, sized correctly, installed with care — pays dividends every single winter. Getting it wrong means years of callbacks, inefficiency, and a system that never quite delivers the comfort you expected.
We are the trusted local furnace installation experts in Orem. We have installed furnaces throughout this community — in older ranch homes near the university with original ductwork, in newer two-story builds in north Orem, in townhomes near Vineyard, and in homes converting from electric resistance heat to gas for the first time. Every installation starts with proper sizing and ends with a complete commissioning process that confirms the system is performing safely and efficiently before we leave your home.
If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, go outside immediately and call 911 – this is a serious emergency that needs urgent attention from the gas company.

Furnace Installation
Installing a new furnace in an Orem home is a process that starts long before any equipment is unboxed. It begins with understanding your home — its size, layout, insulation levels, ductwork condition, and how the existing system has been performing. A replacement furnace installed without this context will either repeat the mistakes of the previous installation or introduce new ones. We have done too many Orem furnace installations to skip these steps, and the homeowners we serve benefit from that discipline every winter.
Common Reasons Homeowners Choose Installation
- Existing furnace is over 15 years old and repairs have become frequent and costly
- The current system cannot maintain comfortable temperatures during the coldest Orem winter days
- Energy bills have increased year over year despite consistent usage patterns
- Heat exchanger has been found cracked and the system is no longer safe to operate
- The existing furnace was improperly sized and has always short-cycled or struggled
- Significant repair is needed and the age of the equipment makes replacement the better long-term decision
- Home is converting from electric baseboard heat to a gas furnace system
- New home construction requires a complete furnace installation from scratch
- Upgrading to a two-stage or variable-speed system for improved comfort and efficiency
Every furnace installation in Orem starts with a proper Manual J load calculation. We account for square footage, ceiling heights, insulation values, window area, infiltration rates, and the specific weather data for Orem and Utah Valley. An undersized furnace runs constantly and still cannot keep up on the coldest days. An oversized furnace short-cycles — it heats the air near the thermostat quickly, shuts off before distributing warmth evenly throughout the home, and wears out faster than it should. We size it correctly, every time, without exception. After installing the new equipment, we connect the gas supply and verify the gas pressure, connect the flue venting and confirm proper draft, test electrical connections and control wiring, replace or inspect the line set and condensate drain where applicable, and run the system through a complete startup sequence. We measure supply air temperatures at the registers, check combustion quality, and confirm the thermostat and all controls are communicating correctly before we call the job complete. If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, go outside immediately and call 911 – this is a serious emergency that needs urgent attention from the gas company.
High Efficiency Furnace Installation
High-efficiency furnace installation in Orem is one of the most impactful upgrades a homeowner can make for long-term heating costs. Standard furnaces have AFUE ratings in the 80 percent range, meaning 20 percent of the heat they generate escapes through the flue. High-efficiency furnaces — those with AFUE ratings of 90 percent or higher — extract most of that heat before it exits, delivering significantly more warmth from the same amount of gas. In Orem’s climate, where heating systems run hard through a genuine winter, that difference adds up meaningfully over a season and across years.
Common Reasons Homeowners Choose Installation
- Existing standard-efficiency furnace has reached end of service life and upgrade is the natural next step
- Gas heating bills have become a significant concern and higher efficiency is a priority
- The home has good insulation and air sealing that makes a high-efficiency system pay back faster
- Current furnace cannot maintain even temperatures throughout the home on cold days
- Upgrading from a single-stage system to a variable-speed or two-stage high-efficiency model
- A new build in Orem specifies a high-efficiency system as part of the construction plan
- Home has been significantly renovated and the old furnace is now undersized for the updated layout
- Homeowner wants quieter, more consistent heat delivery than a standard single-stage furnace provides
- Existing flue system is being replaced anyway and the switch to a PVC vent high-efficiency system makes sense
High-efficiency furnace installation in Orem requires specific attention to the venting system. Standard-efficiency furnaces use a metal flue that exhausts hot combustion gases. High-efficiency models extract so much heat that the exhaust gases condense inside the heat exchanger — which is why they are called condensing furnaces — and the resulting low-temperature exhaust vents through PVC pipe rather than metal. This means installing a new vent path, typically through a side wall, and a condensate drain to handle the water produced during the condensing process. We plan the venting route carefully in each Orem home to ensure proper drainage slope and adequate termination clearances. We also evaluate the existing ductwork to confirm it can support the airflow requirements of the new system — high-efficiency variable-speed furnaces move air differently than the single-stage systems they often replace, and a duct system that was borderline adequate with the old equipment may need attention to fully support the new one. We identify any such issues before the installation begins so there are no surprises after the new system is in place.
Why Orem Homeowners Choose Orem Heating and Air Pros
Proper Sizing Every Time
We have gone behind other companies in Orem homes and found furnaces that were dramatically oversized — short-cycling from day one, never running long enough to distribute heat evenly, wearing out the heat exchanger prematurely. We have also found undersized systems that ran continuously through every Utah Valley cold snap and still left the home below the setpoint. Both situations are the result of skipping the load calculation or using an inadequate rule of thumb. We do not operate that way. A proper load calculation takes time and requires real information about the home, and the homeowner benefits from it for the lifetime of the equipment.
We Know Orem Homes and Their Duct Systems
Furnace installation does not happen in isolation — the ductwork the new system feeds air through matters as much as the equipment itself. We have worked in enough Orem homes to know what duct configurations are typical in different housing eras, where leaks most commonly develop, and when a duct system needs attention before it can support a new furnace effectively. We evaluate the duct system as part of the pre-installation process and address any issues before the new equipment goes in, not after the homeowner is already living with the results.
Safety-First Installation Standards
A furnace installation involves gas lines, high-voltage and low-voltage electrical systems, and a flue venting path that must function correctly for the safety of everyone in the home. We do not rush any of these steps. Gas connections are tested for leaks before the system is operated. Flue systems are inspected for proper draft and correct termination clearances. Electrical wiring is verified against manufacturer specifications. The commissioning process at the end of every installation confirms that all of these systems are working correctly together before we leave your Orem home.
Equipment Selection Matched to Your Home
We are not committed to a single brand or a single product line. We work with quality equipment from several manufacturers and select what actually fits your Orem home’s needs — the right capacity, the right efficiency level for your usage patterns and how long you plan to stay in the home, and the right features for your level of comfort control preference. We explain the differences between options in plain language and let you make an informed decision.
Clean Work and Clear Communication Throughout
We protect floors and work areas during installation, we remove and dispose of the old equipment, and we leave the work area clean. We communicate clearly throughout the process — what we found in the assessment, what we are doing during the installation, and what we confirmed during commissioning. Orem homeowners should understand exactly what was done in their home and feel confident in the result before we leave.
Our Service Process
Step 1 – Contact Us to Discuss Your Furnace Needs
Reach out by phone or through our website. Tell us about your current furnace and what is driving the decision to replace it. We will schedule a home assessment to evaluate the equipment, ductwork, and any other factors that affect the installation approach before recommending a specific system.
Step 2 – Home Assessment and Load Calculation
We visit your Orem home, inspect the existing equipment, evaluate the ductwork, and perform a proper load calculation to determine the right system size and configuration. We discuss our findings with you and present the options that make sense for your home, your usage, and your goals. We answer all questions before any work is scheduled.
Step 3 – Professional Installation Day
On installation day, we arrive with the equipment and everything needed to complete the job correctly. We remove and dispose of the old furnace, install the new system according to manufacturer specifications, connect all gas, electrical, venting, and control components, and take care of your home throughout the process.
Step 4 – Full Commissioning and Homeowner Walkthrough
After installation, we commission the system fully — checking combustion quality, gas pressure, airflow balance, heat exchanger integrity, and control function. We walk you through the new system, show you how to operate any new controls or thermostat features, and answer all remaining questions before we leave.

Professional Furnace Installation vs DIY Attempts
Furnace installation is one of the most complex and consequential home projects possible, and it involves systems that carry real safety risks when handled without the right training and equipment. We want Orem homeowners to understand specifically what those risks are.
Gas connections are the first and most serious concern. A gas line that is connected incorrectly, not tested for leaks, or run with improper fittings creates a potential for gas accumulation in the home. Natural gas has an odorant added specifically so people can detect it, but a slow leak in an enclosed space can accumulate without being obvious until it reaches a concentration that presents a hazard. Every gas connection we make on a furnace installation is tested with an appropriate leak detection tool before the system is operated. If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, go outside immediately and call 911 – this is a serious emergency that needs urgent attention from the gas company.
Flue venting is the second critical area. A furnace that vents combustion gases improperly — back-drafting into the home rather than exhausting outside — allows carbon monoxide to enter the living space. This is not detectable by smell, and the consequences can be severe. Proper flue design, correct sizing, and confirmed draft performance are non-negotiable parts of every furnace installation we do in Orem.
The load calculation — determining the correct furnace size — is an area where well-intentioned DIY attempts almost always fall short. Without the right methodology and the local climate data for Orem, sizing comes down to guesswork. The consequences of that guesswork last for the entire service life of the equipment.
Homeowners who want to be involved in the process can absolutely help with preparation — clearing the work area, knowing where the gas shutoff is, having a current utility bill available for reference. The installation itself belongs to trained professionals. Contact us today and we will handle it correctly from the first step to the last.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what size furnace my Orem home needs?
Furnace size is determined by a Manual J load calculation, not by the size of the old furnace or a square footage rule of thumb. We calculate the actual heating load for your home based on insulation, windows, ceiling height, infiltration, and Orem climate data. The result is the correct output capacity — not an estimate and not a guess.
How long does a furnace installation take in Orem?
A standard replacement — removing the old furnace and installing new equipment in the same location — typically takes a full day. More complex installations involving new ductwork, electrical panel work, or converting from one fuel type to another take longer. We give you a clear timeline before the work begins.
Should I replace my furnace and AC at the same time?
If both systems are approaching end of service life, replacing them together is often practical. The indoor coil and air handler interact with both systems, and a combined replacement can reduce total installation time and cost compared to two separate jobs. We can evaluate your cooling system at the same time as the furnace assessment and give you an honest recommendation.
What AFUE rating should I look for in a new Orem furnace?
The federal minimum for new gas furnaces is 80 AFUE. High-efficiency models range from 90 to 98 AFUE. The right choice for your Orem home depends on how long you plan to stay, your current gas usage, and the cost difference between equipment options. We help you evaluate this clearly so you can make a confident decision.
What is a two-stage furnace and is it right for my home?
A two-stage furnace operates at a lower firing rate for moderate days and ramps to full capacity on the coldest Orem winter nights. This results in more even heat distribution, quieter operation, and better efficiency on days when full output is not needed. For larger homes or homeowners who notice significant room-to-room temperature variation, it is worth the investment.
Do you remove and dispose of the old furnace?
Yes. We remove the old equipment as part of the installation and handle disposal properly. You do not need to arrange separate haul-away.
How long will a new furnace last in Orem?
With proper installation and annual maintenance, most gas furnaces last 15 to 20 years in Utah Valley’s climate. Systems that are correctly sized and installed see fewer stress-related failures and consistently reach the upper end of that range. Annual tune-ups are the most cost-effective way to protect that investment.
What brands do you install in Orem homes?
We work with quality equipment from multiple manufacturers with strong reliability records and readily available parts. We are not locked into one brand, which means we recommend what fits your home rather than what is convenient for us. When you ask about specific brands, we give you honest information about reliability and performance.
Can you install a gas furnace in a home that currently uses electric baseboard heat?
Yes. We handle this type of conversion in Orem homes regularly. The project involves installing the furnace, running ductwork if it does not exist, connecting to the gas supply, and installing the flue venting. The energy savings for Orem homeowners making this switch are typically significant, especially in larger homes with high electric heating costs.
What should I expect during the installation day?
We arrive on time, set up protective coverings in the work area, remove the old equipment, and install the new system over the course of the day. We keep you informed as the work progresses. At the end, we run the commissioning process, walk you through the new system, and answer any questions before we clean up and leave.
Is a high-efficiency furnace worth the additional investment in Orem?
For most Orem homeowners who heat primarily with natural gas and plan to stay in the home for several years, yes. The difference between 80 AFUE and 96 AFUE in heating cost savings accumulates meaningfully over Orem winters. The exact payback period depends on current gas rates, your home’s heating load, and the cost difference between the equipment options. We help you run through those numbers honestly.
