Your furnace runs every month of the year here
Winter nights in Teton County average 8°F, and the furnace has to make up that difference for months at a stretch, not just on the coldest week. That means more cycles, more burner starts, more hours on the igniter and the blower motor. When one of those parts wears out, you find out fast. Summer afternoons average 69°F, mild enough that most homes here get by without cooling at all.
Two-thirds of homes here heat with electricity, so when the power goes out, the heat goes with it. Wyoming households saw outages of 24 hours or longer in 8% of cases last year, and Teton County has logged 203 winter storms and 21 damaging wind events over the past ten years. A furnace that already runs most of the year has less room for something to go wrong, and less time before the cold in the house becomes a problem.

- Why is my heat not working?
- Start with the thermostat. Make sure it's set to heat and the temperature is set above room temperature, and check that it has power or fresh batteries. If the thermostat looks fine, check your breaker panel for a tripped breaker, since a furnace or heat pump that lost power will do nothing at all. With winter nights here averaging 8°F, a furnace that won't fire is worth a same-day call, since a home can lose heat fast in that kind of cold.
- Why is my system running but not cooling the house?
- Check the air filter first. A filter clogged with dust blocks airflow, and the coil behind it can ice over, which stops cold air from reaching your rooms even while the blower keeps running. If the filter is clean, look at the outdoor unit and make sure nothing is blocking it, leaves, grass clippings, or anything piled against the sides. If the system is running and the air coming out feels warm or barely moving, a contractor will need to check refrigerant levels and the coil itself.
- What can I check before calling for HVAC repair?
- Check the thermostat settings and batteries first, since a thermostat set wrong or dead looks exactly like a bigger problem. Next check your breaker panel for anything tripped, and check that the filter isn't clogged. If your system uses a condensate line, look for a full drain pan or a switch that shut the system off to prevent an overflow. If all of that checks out and the system still isn't working, a contractor will need to look at it directly.
