Heating

At Gillette Services - Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, we provide comprehensive heating solutions designed to keep American Fork families warm, safe, and comfortable throughout the harshest months of the year. As a locally owned and family-operated company, we are committed to putting our customers and employees first while delivering personalized service that larger corporate providers simply cannot match.

American Fork sits at an elevation of roughly 4,600 feet in Utah County, which means residents experience extended heating seasons that often stretch from October through April. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, heating accounts for approximately 43% of total home energy use in the Mountain West region, making efficiency and reliability paramount concerns. We understand these local conditions because we live and work here, and our technicians are equipped to handle the specific challenges that American Fork’s geography and climate present.

Our Heating Services and Methodologies

We take a thorough, detail-oriented approach to every heating job we handle. Whether you need a brand-new furnace installation, routine seasonal maintenance, or an emergency repair at two in the morning, our process begins with careful diagnostics. Our technicians perform comprehensive system evaluations that assess airflow, heat exchanger integrity, thermostat calibration, electrical connections, and combustion efficiency. This methodical inspection allows us to identify the root cause of problems rather than simply treating symptoms, which saves our customers money and extends the life of their equipment.

For furnace installations, we conduct a detailed Manual J load calculation to determine the precise heating capacity your home requires. This industry-standard process factors in square footage, insulation levels, window quality, ceiling heights, and local climate data to ensure your new system is neither oversized nor undersized. An improperly sized furnace can lead to short cycling, uneven temperatures, excessive energy consumption, and premature wear on components. We take the time to get this right because we believe in doing work we can stand behind, and we offer fast response times that keep projects on schedule.

Types of Heating Systems We Work With

Modern heating technology has evolved significantly, and American Fork homeowners now have more options than ever. We work across a wide range of heating systems to ensure every home gets the solution that fits its unique needs. High-efficiency gas furnaces with AFUE ratings of 96% or higher are among the most popular choices in our area, converting nearly every dollar of fuel into usable heat. We also service and install heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, and electric furnaces depending on the home’s existing infrastructure and the homeowner’s preferences.

• Gas Furnace Installation and Repair including single-stage, two-stage, and modulating models that offer varying levels of comfort and efficiency
• Heat Pump Systems that provide both heating and cooling capabilities, ideal for homeowners seeking year-round climate control from a single unit
• Dual-Fuel Hybrid Systems combining a heat pump with a gas furnace backup for maximum efficiency across fluctuating Utah temperatures
• Preventive Maintenance Plans designed to catch small issues before they become costly breakdowns during peak winter demand
• Emergency Heating Repair because furnace failures rarely happen at convenient times and families cannot afford to wait

Giving Back to the American Fork Community

Being “Your Homegrown Service Pros” means more than just providing excellent heating services. We take great pride in serving our community and giving back whenever possible.
