What homeowners in Sunset should know about furnace replacement
Furnace replacement in Sunset 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 Sunset that are running at 70% efficiency instead of the 95% they were sold as. With Sunset winter lows hitting 22°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 Sunset: what we plan for
- Elevation
- about 4,400 ft
- Typical winter low
- about 22°F (Davis County figure)
- Climate zone
- IECC zone 5B, cold and dry
- Homes
- mostly built before 1970
- Gas furnace input at this elevation
- about 10% below its sea-level rating
At about 4,400 ft, a gas furnace is fired about 10% 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 72,000 BTU in Sunset. That is why a new furnace in Sunset 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.
Homes built before 1970 often still have their original duct trunks, and some heat with a boiler and radiators rather than a forced-air furnace. Before new heating goes in we check whether the old ducts can carry the airflow, and we inspect the chimney or metal flue an older gas furnace may share with the water heater.
What we see in Sunset homes
- Sunset's 1950s HAFB-era homes often have original cast-iron gravity furnaces that have been converted twice, every install here needs a full duct redesign, not just equipment swap.
- Heating and cooling is most of our Sunset work, and our recent heating and cooling calls have been full system installs and estimate visits; we size the new system from a load calculation, not the old nameplate.

Furnace Replacement FAQ, Sunset edition
How much does furnace replacement cost in Sunset?
For Sunset 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 Sunset's climate (winter lows around 22°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 Sunset it's worth a real conversation. Modern cold-climate heat pumps work efficiently down to 0°F and below, well below Sunset'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 Sunset?
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 replace furnaces in Sunset, Utah?
Yes. Heating and cooling is most of what we do in Sunset, and our recent heating and cooling calls here have been full system installs and estimate visits. Because so many homes here started with gravity furnaces and were converted later, we include a duct redesign with the install so the new equipment actually delivers the comfort it is rated for.
Why does a Sunset home need new ductwork with a new furnace?
Many 1950s Sunset homes were built with cast-iron gravity furnaces and oversized trunk lines. Converted to forced air once or twice since, that ductwork cannot move air the way a modern furnace needs. A new furnace on old ducts underperforms from day one, so we redesign the ducts as part of the job.
