What actually determines the cost
Every tune-up here gets a real multi-point inspection — the same standard we’d want on our own systems. We go through the whole thing: motors, electrical connections, airflow, combustion safety, efficiency — measuring and documenting as we go instead of eyeballing it. Here’s exactly what that covers:
- Blower motor & wheel — bearing wear, balance, and buildup that restricts airflow
- Capacitors, contactor & amp draws — tested against rated spec, not just “does it start”
- Static pressure & airflow (CFM) — how hard the system is working to move your air
- Temperature split — confirms it’s actually heating or cooling to spec, not just running
- Furnace burners, flame sensor & gas pressure — plus a CO safety test on every furnace
- Camera inspection of the heat exchanger and AC coil — the only way to actually see a blockage instead of guessing
- Outdoor unit — coil cleanliness, condenser fan & compressor amps
- Filter & ductwork — checked, and corrected on the spot if something’s off
When something’s a quick fix — a backwards filter, a loose connection, a simple adjustment — we take care of it on the spot as part of the visit, no separate charge.
Every one of those numbers goes into your System Health Report — documented, not just “looks fine.” We don’t upsell: if we spot a potential problem, we show it to you plainly and let you decide, and since we’re repair-only, there’s no commission riding on finding something wrong either way — we’re paid the same flat rate no matter what we find.

What a new furnace & AC costs in Salt Lake City
We're a repair-only company and don't sell or install new systems — but we get asked about replacement cost often enough that it's worth a straight answer. A complete furnace and air conditioner replacement in the Salt Lake City area generally starts around $10,000 and can climb past $25,000, depending on the size of your home, the equipment you choose, and the complexity of the job. Here's what actually drives that price, and if you've already got a quote, we'll give it a free online second opinion.
Varies by home, equipment & complexity
Doing both together avoids future issues and costs less than replacing each separately every 10 years.
Depending on size & complexity
We almost always recommend pairing it with the AC — more on that below.
Depending on the complication
Older line sets, electrical, or tight access can move the number.
Often paired with a furnace (dual-fuel)
More parts & complexity than a straight AC — and more important to install right.
Why the lowest quote usually isn't the deal it looks like
The cheapest furnace and AC on the market is going to be single-stage, a low-end brand, and low-efficiency equipment. The price tag makes it look like a steal — but it usually isn't. Step up to mid-range two-stage or variable-speed equipment and you get more comfort, higher efficiency, and a longer lifespan — the difference is small compared to the total job but dramatic in quality.
A quality install beats fancy equipment — every time
Spending a bit more on a genuinely good company is worth more than buying higher-end equipment. A quality install with good equipment beats a bad install with amazing equipment, every single time. One caution: a high price doesn't guarantee a good install — some of the largest, private-equity-owned companies charge premium prices without the premium workmanship to back it up.
Why we recommend replacing the furnace & AC at the same time
We always recommend doing the furnace and AC together — even if one of them doesn't quite need it yet. It heads off future problems, gets you a better deal than replacing each one separately every 10 years, and breaks the cycle of always having a problem with one while the other is fine. Splitting them up complicates the whole process and makes it more difficult and expensive over time.
Why we love heat pumps in Utah
Heat pumps cost a bit more than a straight AC — more parts and complexity — and they're even more important to install correctly with a decent brand. They start around $14,000 paired with a furnace and can climb past $24,000. We love them at Canyon Comfort: in Utah's mild winters they heat efficiently down to about 35°F, right about where a gas furnace starts to become the more efficient choice (which is exactly why pairing the two — “dual-fuel” — works so well here). They do have more moving parts and control boards that can fail over time, so they aren't right for every home — but for many Utah homeowners, they make a lot of sense.
Watch for exclusions. Some companies quote you, say, $14,000 — then hit you with a surprise $2,000 charge for new refrigerant lines (which heat pumps need replaced more often). It's either buried in the fine print, or sprung on you after they've already pulled out your old system — when you're stuck and just want it done. Make sure whoever quotes you includes the whole job, lineset included, upfront. No hostage bills, no add-ons after the fact.
“A quality install with good equipment beats a bad install with amazing equipment — every time.”
Don't fall for high-pressure sales tactics and fancy words. On a residential system, most of it is fluff you don't need.
Pricing FAQ
How much does an HVAC diagnostic cost in Salt Lake City?
$80, flat, during standard hours (Mon–Fri, 7am–6pm). It’s credited toward any repair you approve, so if you move forward with the fix, the diagnostic itself is free. Evenings and Saturday days add $40; after-hours (Saturday evenings and all day Sunday) is a flat $220.
How much does an HVAC tune-up cost in Salt Lake City?
$110 for the first system, $90 for each additional system in the same visit. Every tune-up includes a full System Health Report — the actual measured numbers in writing, not just a verbal “it’s fine.”
What's the difference between a diagnostic and a tune-up?
A diagnostic is for when something’s already wrong — we find the cause and quote the fix. A tune-up is preventive maintenance on a working system — a full multi-point service that catches small issues before they become expensive ones, and ends with a written report.
Is the diagnostic fee credited toward the repair?
Yes. If you approve the repair, the diagnostic fee is credited toward the total — so you’re not paying twice.
Do you install new furnaces and air conditioners?
No — we're a repair-only company and don't sell or install new systems, so we have zero incentive to push you toward one. We'll give you a free online second opinion on a quote you've already got, and we offer an independent post-install inspection so you know it was installed right.
How much does a new furnace and AC cost in Salt Lake City?
A full furnace and air conditioner replacement generally starts around $10,000 and can go past $25,000, depending on the size of your home, the equipment, and the complexity of the install. The biggest factors are equipment quality (single-stage vs. two-stage or variable-speed) and the quality of the company doing the install.
How much does a new furnace cost in Salt Lake City?
A furnace on its own typically runs $4,000–$10,000+ installed, depending on the size, efficiency, and complexity of the job. We almost always recommend replacing it together with the AC to save money and avoid repeat issues down the road. See the full 2026 cost breakdown →
How much does a new air conditioner cost in Salt Lake City?
An air conditioner on its own usually runs about $4,000–$12,000+ installed, depending on the complexity — things like older line sets, electrical work, or tight access can affect the price.
Should I replace my furnace and AC at the same time?
Usually, yes. Replacing them together — even if one isn't quite due — heads off future problems, costs less than doing each separately every 10 years, and avoids the cycle of constantly repairing one while the other is fine. Splitting them up tends to complicate the process and cost more over time.
Is a high-end "communicating" system worth the extra cost?
In our opinion, usually not for a residential home. Communicating systems are efficient but cost thousands more, have more parts that can fail, take longer to repair, and need special wiring that many installers won't run correctly. You might gain around 5% efficiency, but the added upfront and repair costs rarely justify it. We prefer simple, high-efficiency systems that do the same job and keep your long-term costs down.
How much does a heat pump cost in Salt Lake City?
A heat pump system typically starts around $14,000 (often paired with a furnace as a dual-fuel setup) and can climb past $24,000. They cost a bit more than a straight AC because of the added parts and complexity — and they're more important to install correctly. One tip: make sure your quote includes the refrigerant lineset, since heat pumps more often need it replaced — that's a common surprise charge with other companies.
Do heat pumps work in Utah winters?
Yes — very well. In Utah's mild winters, a heat pump heats efficiently down to around 35°F, which is right about where a gas furnace starts to become the more efficient choice. That's why we often pair a heat pump with a furnace (“dual-fuel”): the heat pump handles most of the season, and the furnace takes over on the coldest days. It's one of the best setups for our climate.
