Keeping Cool in the City: Expert AC Repair Services in Salt Lake City

Air conditioning problems can challenge your patience under even the best circumstances in Northern Utah.

If your AC breaks down during the summer when wildfire activity is high and drying lake beds fill the air with dust, the impact on your comfort and health in the Wasatch Front is beyond compare. 

Opening windows does not improve comfort. An electric fan provides relief only if you remain in the breeze it creates. Are you cooling off in front of an open refrigerator? There are better ways to beat the heat. You urgently need expert air conditioning repair services.

In the meantime, if your air conditioner refuses to start, blows lukewarm air, cycles on and off quickly, or emits odd sounds and odors, it needs attention. Here are a few typical AC problems: 

• Dirty Condenser Coil
  Dust storms from the Great Salt Lake, smoke during wildfire season, and particulate pollution from other sources can settle inside your outdoor unit, dirtying the condenser coil and fins.
  
  Dirt on the condenser coil in the outdoor AC unit can interfere with heat transfer. Your system may run longer, overheat, and break down.  

• Clogged Air Filter
  Those same contaminants that dirty the outdoor air can come into your home through open windows, doors, and cracks or holes in your home’s envelope and clog your air filter. A dirty air filter can restrict airflow to your air conditioner, causing it to overheat and possibly break down.
  
  Replacing a clogged filter keeps air flowing and lowers your AC system’s energy consumption by up to 15 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

• Frozen Evaporator Coil
  Airflow problems, layers of dirt and dust, a blocked condensate drain, and low refrigerant can cause an evaporator coil to freeze. A frozen coil will not correctly remove heat from the air. It will send lukewarm air into your home and may damage other components. 

• Low Refrigerant
  If the refrigerant level is low because of a leak, you may feel weak airflow and warm air blowing from your vents. Ice may form on the evaporator coil and freeze it.
