Your AC cools for a while, then the house gets warm again. By the time someone can look at it, the system may be running normally. We help Provo homeowners investigate cooling problems, including ones that come and go, and explain the repair price before work begins.
During Provo's hot summer days, note when the change happens and what you see at the thermostat. Those observations can give our technician a useful starting point, even if you can't reproduce the problem on demand.
Call (801) 983-7333 or request a visit to check the next available appointment.
Make a simple record of what happens
Write down when cooling stops or falls short, the thermostat's displayed and set temperatures, and whether air is still coming from the vents. If the system starts and stops repeatedly, note whether that happens throughout the day or only occasionally. Tell us about a new noise, water, or any change since the last service visit.
A pattern is useful information, but it doesn't identify a failed part. Avoid opening equipment panels or handling electrical components and refrigerant lines. If you see ice on the equipment, turn cooling off at the thermostat and arrange service; don't chip away the ice or apply heat.
Help us prepare for the visit
When you contact us, tell us whether cooling is completely unavailable or intermittent, and share your Provo address. We offer same-day appointments when the schedule allows. We'll confirm availability when you call; the diagnosis and any parts needed affect when a repair can be completed.
Keep previous service records or a repair quote handy if you have them. Let us know how to access the equipment and whether someone needs to be present. There's no need to open the system to find a model number or restart an iced-up unit for the appointment.
Check the easy-to-reach settings
If there's no safety concern, check that the thermostat is set to cool and its set temperature is below the displayed room temperature. Make sure furniture isn't blocking room vents. If you can reach the filter without opening equipment panels, check it and replace it according to the manufacturer's instructions if needed. A clogged filter can restrict airflow, though it isn't the only reason cooling can fall short.
Decide what to do after the diagnosis
We'll assess the complaint, explain what we find and give you upfront pricing before the repair starts. You can ask how the finding relates to the problem you've recorded and what the proposed work includes. If another company recommended replacement, we offer a no-pressure second opinion.
If your system has had repeated problems or needs a substantial repair, compare the proposed work with AC replacement. Consider the condition of the equipment, its repair history and your plans for the home; age alone doesn't settle the decision.

Questions about intermittent cooling
Should I wait until the AC stops completely to call?
You can contact us while the issue is intermittent. Tell us when it happens and what you observe so we can assess the complaint. A system that works again briefly hasn't necessarily resolved the underlying problem.
What if the AC works when the technician arrives?
Share your notes and any recent service records. They can help describe what happened between visits, although testing and the equipment's condition determine what can be diagnosed.
Will an appointment include a repair that day?
We'll explain what we find and the proposed price before work begins. Whether the repair can be completed that day depends on the issue and any parts needed.
What should I do if I see ice?
Turn cooling off at the thermostat and contact us. Leave the ice alone and don't apply heat. The cause needs to be identified before you can rely on the system to cool normally.
