Older Salt Lake City homes ask a lot of an air conditioner. Upstairs bedrooms in bungalows and story-and-a-half homes heat up fast, and an aging AC can run all afternoon without catching up. When you need air conditioning repair, we take calls and online bookings 24/7.
We fix all major AC and heat pump brands. You get a full diagnostic, a clear explanation of what failed and the price before we start.
What wears out Salt Lake City air conditioners
Hot upstairs rooms
In older homes, upstairs rooms often have few or undersized ducts. Sometimes the AC is fine and the problem is airflow, so we check both.
Outdoor units in tight spaces
Many city lots put the outdoor unit against a wall or under a window. Poor airflow around the coil makes it run hotter, louder and less efficiently.

When to stop repairing it
An AC under about 12 years old with a reasonable repair is usually worth fixing.
If it’s older, runs on R-22 or needs a compressor, compare the repair with a heat pump. It cools like an AC, heats most of the winter, and Salt Lake City homes get $1,450 back from Rocky Mountain Power, guaranteed, on every heat pump we install.

We pull the permit
A permit means a city or county inspector checks the work for safety and code. It also protects you when you sell your home. Not every HVAC company pulls permits. We do on every job.
We haul away the old equipment
Your old furnace, AC or heat pump leaves with us. Nothing is left in your yard or garage for you to deal with.
We leave it cleaner than we found it
We clean up before we go and leave your home cleaner than we found it, so the only thing you notice is the new system.

AC repair in Salt Lake City: questions
How fast can you get to my Salt Lake City home?
We’re open 24/7 and take calls and online bookings any time. Call 801-396-0019, and many AC repairs are finished in one visit.
How much does AC repair cost in Salt Lake City?
A $129 diagnostic, then an upfront price. A capacitor or contactor costs much less than a refrigerant leak repair or a compressor. Essential Care Plan members save 10%.
Why is the upstairs of my older home so hot?
Older Salt Lake City homes often have few or undersized ducts upstairs, and heat rises. A single-speed AC shuts off before it mixes the air. A variable-speed heat pump runs longer and steadier, which is how Mark T. in Sugar House got rid of a 14° difference between floors.
Why is my outdoor AC unit so loud?
Worn fan motor bearings, a loose fan blade or a failing compressor are common causes. A unit that suddenly gets louder should be checked soon.
Should I repair my old AC or replace it with a heat pump?
Repair it if it’s under about 12 years old and the fix is reasonable. If it’s older or needs a compressor, a heat pump is usually the better buy, with a guaranteed $1,450 Rocky Mountain Power rebate.
