Larsen HVAC & Plumbing Launches Fall Furnace Inspection Program for Residential Customers

WEST JORDAN, UT - September 14, 2026 -

Larsen HVAC & Plumbing, a family-owned HVAC and plumbing contractor headquartered at 6752 South Airport Road in West Jordan, Utah, has launched a structured fall furnace inspection program for residential customers across Salt Lake County, providing homeowners with a dedicated pre-season service window to evaluate heating system condition before winter demand peaks across the Wasatch Front.

The program responds to a recurring pattern the company observes each fall, in which homeowners discover heating system issues when activating furnaces for the first time after months of dormancy. By opening a dedicated inspection schedule in September and October, Larsen HVAC & Plumbing aims to give residential customers in West Jordan, South Jordan, Sandy, Taylorsville, West Valley City, Murray, Midvale, and Draper sufficient lead time to address any identified issues before the coldest months of the year.

"The fall window is the most practical time for a homeowner to find out whether their heating system is ready," said Shawn Larsen, owner of Larsen HVAC & Plumbing. "By the time temperatures drop consistently in November and December, our schedule is running at full capacity and a homeowner who discovers a problem then has very limited options for timely service."

The inspection program covers heat exchanger evaluation, burner and ignition system checks, flue and venting inspection, blower component assessment, filter condition review, and gas pressure verification. Larsen HVAC & Plumbing's technicians hold EPA 608 Universal certification and operate under a Utah Division of Professional Licensing specialty contractor license. Inspections are conducted by certified technicians trained to identify component wear and system irregularities in accordance with manufacturer specifications and applicable residential mechanical standards.

Heat exchanger integrity is among the more critical elements assessed during fall inspections. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission identifies cracked or failing heat exchangers as a source of potential carbon monoxide exposure in residential heating systems, and recommends that homeowners have furnaces inspected annually by qualified technicians. Larsen HVAC & Plumbing's inspection process includes a dedicated heat exchanger evaluation as a standard component of every fall service visit.

"A heat exchanger issue is not something that presents obvious symptoms inside the home," Larsen noted. "It requires a technician who knows what to look for. That is precisely why an annual inspection by a certified technician has practical value beyond just keeping the system running efficiently."

As a Rheem Pro Certified Partner, Larsen HVAC & Plumbing services all major furnace makes and models, with a specialty in Ruud furnace systems. The company's West Jordan location at 6752 South Airport Road places it centrally within the Salt Lake County residential communities it serves, including established neighborhoods such as Copper Hills and the Jordan Landing area, as well as communities along the Bangerter Highway corridor.

The fall inspection program also addresses furnace efficiency as a practical concern for homeowners managing winter utility costs. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heating accounts for the largest share of energy use in most American homes, and furnaces operating with dirty filters, misaligned burners, or degraded components consume more energy to produce the same heat output. Larsen HVAC & Plumbing's technicians calibrate burner performance and blower operation during each inspection visit, ensuring that systems entering the heating season are running at optimal efficiency rather than compensating for deferred maintenance through increased fuel consumption.

The timing of the program is also relevant for homeowners whose furnace systems fall within or near the end of their typical service life. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that residential furnaces generally have an expected service life of 15 to 20 years, and systems in this range are statistically more likely to experience component failures during periods of sustained operation. For West Jordan and Salt Lake County homeowners whose equipment was installed during the residential development cycles of the late 1990s and early 2000s, a fall inspection provides an early opportunity to assess whether the system is a strong candidate for continued repair investment or whether a planned replacement ahead of peak season is the more practical path.

Qualifying high-efficiency furnace installations are eligible for rebate incentives through Enbridge Gas Utah's ThermWise program, which offers homeowners financial incentives for upgrading to high-efficiency natural gas heating equipment. Eligibility is determined by equipment specifications and program terms administered by Enbridge Gas Utah, and Larsen HVAC & Plumbing technicians can provide customers with relevant equipment details during the evaluation process.

Larsen HVAC & Plumbing was founded in February 2017 by Shawn Larsen, who holds an Associate's Degree in Applied Sciences from Salt Lake Community College and more than fifteen years of HVAC field experience. The company operates under a Utah Division of Professional Licensing specialty contractor license and maintains 24/7 emergency service availability for urgent heating failures, with standard service hours running from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
