AC repair that starts with a real diagnosis
Warm air from the vents in a Salt Lake City July is its own kind of emergency. We find the actual problem, quote the fix before we touch a wrench, and repair every make and model on the Wasatch Front.

The AC problems we see most in Salt Lake City
Every summer the same patterns show up on our schedule: systems that run nonstop without cooling, units that start and stop every few minutes, outdoor fans that hum but never spin, and thermostats that seem possessed. Behind those symptoms sits a shorter list of causes — refrigerant leaks, failed capacitors, dirty coils, clogged condensate drains, worn contactors, and blower motors on their way out.
The symptom rarely names the cause. A frozen line can mean low refrigerant or just a filthy filter. A dead outdoor unit can be a $20 part or a failing compressor. That's why we put instruments on the system before we put a price on the repair.
Repair or replace? We'll give it to you straight.
A repair quote should come with context. If your system is under ten years old and the failure is a single component, fixing it is almost always the right call. Past twelve to fifteen years, the question gets harder: compressors and coils cost real money, older refrigerants keep getting more expensive, and a new system starts to compete on monthly operating cost.
We put both numbers in front of you — the repair today and what a replacement would run — and we tell you what we'd do in your house. No scare tactics, no "it could fail any day" theater. If the repair makes sense, we're happy to make it.
Built for the way Utah summers actually work
Salt Lake City cooling season is short but brutal: weeks of high-90s heat, bone-dry air, and systems that sit idle for eight months before sprinting for four. That start-of-season slam is when weak capacitors and marginal motors give up, which is why our phones melt every June.
We also work on a lot of older homes in the valley — bungalows and ramblers that started life with swamp coolers and picked up central air along the way. Odd ductwork, undersized returns, and creative wiring don't scare us. We've been inside these houses since 2006.
Pricing
What drives the price
We don't guess at repair prices over the phone, because the honest answer depends on what's actually broken. You'll get a firm price after diagnosis, before any work starts. Here's what moves the number:
- Which part failed — a capacitor and a compressor live in very different price brackets
- Refrigerant type and how much your system needs, if there's a leak
- Your system's age and brand, which decide how easy parts are to get
- Where the equipment sits — a unit wedged in a crawlspace takes longer than one on a pad
- Whether the fix is electrical, mechanical, or refrigerant-side
- After-hours dispatch, if you need us outside Monday–Friday, 8 to 5
How it works with us
No surprises, start to finish
Call or text us
Tell us what the system is doing. A photo or a video of the unit helps us show up prepared.
We diagnose it
A tech runs the system, tests components, and finds the actual fault instead of the loudest symptom.
You approve a firm price
We explain what failed, what it costs to fix, and whether the repair is worth it. Nothing happens until you say go.
We fix it and stand behind it
Most repairs finish the same visit when we have the part on the van.
AC Repair questions
Straight answers
How fast can you get here?
Call us at (801) 678-5748 and we'll give you an honest answer based on the day's schedule. We run Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, and after-hours service is available by dispatch. We'd rather tell you a real time than promise a fake one.
Why is my AC running but blowing warm air?
The usual suspects: low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor keeping the outdoor unit from starting, a dirty or frozen coil, or a tripped breaker on the condenser. Each one has a different fix and a different price, which is why we diagnose before we quote.
Why is there ice on my AC line?
Ice means the coil is getting too cold, usually from low refrigerant or from weak airflow due to a clogged filter or blower problem. Turn the system off so the ice melts, and don't chip at it. Running it frozen can kill the compressor, which turns a small repair into a big one.
Is it worth repairing a 15-year-old air conditioner?
Sometimes. If the fix is small and the rest of the system is healthy, repair wins. If the compressor is failing or the system uses an older refrigerant that's getting expensive, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We'll show you the math for your system and let you decide — we make the same money either way we'd rather earn your trust.
Do you work on my brand?
Yes. We repair and service all makes and models. It doesn't matter who installed it or how old it is — if it cools a house, we've probably had our gauges on one like it.
