A furnace that shuts off after two to five minutes is usually short cycling because of a dirty flame sensor, a tripped high limit switch or a pressure switch problem. A clogged filter is the easiest cause to rule out yourself, so replace it first. If the problem continues, the furnace needs testing. In Brighton, pressure switches that are not rated for our elevation are a frequent cause, so we check the rating as part of every short-cycling repair.

No. Colorado's ultra-low NOx rule, which took effect January 1, 2026, applies only to new gas furnaces sold or installed in the state. A working furnace can be repaired and kept running for as long as it is safe. The rule matters when you replace a furnace, because the new unit must meet the 14 nanograms per joule NOx limit, which narrows the models available and can affect replacement cost.
Most gas furnaces last 15 to 20 years with yearly maintenance, and repair usually stops making sense somewhere in that range. Furnaces that were never set up for high altitude, or that skipped regular filter changes, often wear out sooner. If your furnace is over 15 years old and needs a major part like a control board or inducer motor, we will give you a repair price and a replacement option so you can compare.
No, the federal 25C energy efficient home improvement credit ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025, so a furnace installed in 2026 does not qualify. Utility rebate programs change often, and Xcel Energy has shifted much of its heating incentive toward heat pumps. Before you replace a furnace, check Xcel Energy's current rebate page for what applies to your home.
Leave the house right away, without flipping light switches or using your phone inside, and call Xcel Energy's gas emergency line or 911 from outside. Do not try to find the leak yourself. Once the gas utility has made the area safe, call us to inspect the furnace, the gas valve and the connections. A faint burning smell for the first few minutes of the season is different and is usually dust burning off the heat exchanger.
