What homeowners in Francis should know about furnace replacement
Furnace replacement in Francis comes with a wrinkle most contractors skip: at this elevation, gas furnaces have to be configured with a high-altitude orifice kit and proper combustion-air adjustments, or they run rich and soot the heat exchanger within a year. Builders rarely do this, so we see plenty of 10-year-old furnaces in Francis that are running at 70% efficiency instead of the 95% they were sold as. With Francis winter lows hitting 8°F, an oversized or improperly tuned furnace short-cycles, wastes gas, and dies young. Every furnace we replace gets sized via Manual J, configured for elevation, and combustion-tested with a digital analyzer before we leave.
Heating in Francis: what we plan for
- Elevation
- about 6,580 ft
- Typical winter low
- about 8°F (Summit County figure)
- Climate zone
- IECC zone 7, alpine cold
- Homes
- a mix of older and newer homes
- Gas furnace input at this elevation
- about 18% below its sea-level rating
At about 6,580 ft, a gas furnace is fired about 18% below its sea-level rating (the rule is roughly 4% for every 1,000 ft above 2,000 ft), so a furnace labeled 80,000 BTU input runs at about 65,600 BTU in Francis. That is why a new furnace in Francis is sized from a Manual J heating load with the elevation in it, gets the manufacturer's high-altitude setup where it calls for one, and is checked with a combustion analyzer before we leave.
What we see in Francis homes
- Furnace tune-ups that include altitude derating and combustion checks for 6,580 feet.
- Heat pump installs matched to Zone 7 lows near 8 degrees, with gas furnace backup where the home wants it.
- Ductwork repair and attic runs so a new system actually delivers heat to the far rooms of an older Francis home.
We work across Francis, including Francis Proper and Woodland border.

Furnace Replacement FAQ, Francis edition
How much does furnace replacement cost in Francis?
For Francis furnace replacements the price depends on size (60K to 120K BTU), efficiency (80% vs 95%+ AFUE), single-stage vs two-stage vs modulating, and whether ductwork modifications are needed. The in-home estimate is free, and you get the flat-rate price in writing before any work starts.
How long does the install take?
Standard 1-for-1 swap: one day, 5-7 hours. If we're modifying ductwork or relocating the furnace it can run 1-2 days. Winter no-heat emergencies get priority swaps when stock allows.
What efficiency rating should I get?
For Francis's climate (winter lows around 8°F), 95-97% AFUE high-efficiency furnaces are the sweet spot. They pay back the price difference in 3-5 years through reduced gas bills. 80% AFUE is fine for milder climates; in Utah you're leaving real money on the table.
Should I consider a heat pump instead of a gas furnace?
In Francis it's worth a real conversation. Modern cold-climate heat pumps work efficiently down to 0°F and below, well below Francis's typical winter lows. Combined with a backup electric strip or downsized gas furnace ("dual-fuel"), they often beat gas-only systems on operating cost. Utah Power's heat-pump rebate makes the math even better. We model both options at the estimate.
Do you do emergency furnace replacement in Francis?
Yes, when your furnace dies in January and indoor temps are dropping, we prioritize. We carry common sizes in stock and can usually turn the swap around within 24 hours for 60K-100K BTU residential units. Call (801) 407-9320.
Do you do furnace repair in Francis?
Yes. We service furnaces, heat pumps and mini splits in Francis, and every visit includes an altitude and combustion check because a furnace set for the valley runs rich at 6,580 feet. If the unit is worth repairing we say so, and if it is not we explain why.
Can one company handle heating, plumbing and electrical in Francis?
Yes. At Your Service Pros does all three trades, so a heat pump install, the circuit it needs and the condensate line it drains into are one job with one point of contact. That saves a second and third contractor driving up SR-32.
