The system runs and the house stays warm
Often a dust packed outdoor coil, low refrigerant from a leak, or a failing capacitor. The unit is working, but not moving heat.

Examples of our work
What goes wrong in a St. George summer
The unit hums but the fan is still
A failed capacitor, most often. Turn it off and call.
Ice on the lines or the indoor coil
Too little airflow or too little refrigerant. Do not chip the ice.
On and off every few minutes
Short cycling, from a dirty coil, a failing sensor, low refrigerant or an oversized system.
A heat pump that will not heat in winter
Freezing nights happen here. A stuck reversing valve, a failed defrost control or dead heat strips are the usual suspects. We repair heat pumps.
A summer plan for St. George homes
- Before the heat. Rinse the outdoor coil gently with the unit off, replace the filter, clear weeds and debris, and have the system checked. See the AC tune up pricing guide.
- During triple digit weeks. Hold a steady thermostat setting, close blinds on west windows, and check the filter every couple of weeks, since dust loads it quickly.
- If it quits. Move to the coolest room, drink water, check on older neighbors and call early. Heat wave days are our busiest.
What a good diagnosis includes
We test before we guess. That means checking the capacitor and other electrical parts with a meter, reading refrigerant pressures, measuring the temperature drop across the indoor coil, checking the fan and blower motors, and inspecting the outdoor coil for dust.
If one repair points to a second weak part, we tell you before replacing anything, so you do not pay twice.
Questions St. George customers ask
Is it worth repairing an older system?
It depends on what failed. A capacitor or fan motor on a system that otherwise runs well is usually worth it. A compressor on a unit that is 12 to 15 years old often is not. We give you both prices.
Should I switch to a heat pump?
Many homes here use one. It cools like an AC and heats on mild winter days. See heat pump installation in Washington.
Who is my electric provider?
Rocky Mountain Power serves part of the area, and some cities run their own electric utilities, so check your bill. It matters for rebates.
Before you call
A few checks take five minutes and sometimes solve the problem:
- Make sure the thermostat is set to cool, below the room temperature, and has power or fresh batteries.
- Check the breaker. Reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off.
- Look at the filter. A clogged filter can freeze the coil.
- Look at the outdoor unit. Is the fan turning? Is the coil coated in dust?
