West Valley Heating and Air Conditioning is a full-service HVAC company serving homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses across West Valley City and the broader Salt Lake County area. From a furnace that quit overnight to an AC that stopped keeping up in July, we handle the full range of heating-and-cooling work that keeps homes and commercial properties comfortable year-round. Our technicians bring the right tools and the right training to every job, and we back that up with code-compliant HVAC work on every job. Heat that holds. Cooling that keeps up. Air that stays clean. Call today and we'll set up your appointment.
We've handled everything from a quick tune-up to a full system swap, and we know what it takes to keep HVAC systems running reliably in this climate. We cover the full scope: AC repair and service, heating and furnace repair, heat pump repair and installation, full system installation and replacement, ductwork repair and sealing, thermostat and smart-control installation, indoor air quality and air filtration, and seasonal maintenance. Whatever your system needs, we'll diagnose it honestly and get the HVAC work done right the first time. Leave the heating and cooling to us.
Before a small issue turns into a full breakdown, it pays to have a trained technician take a look. When your AC is not cooling, not turning on, blowing warm air, making unusual noise, or showing signs of a refrigerant issue, we can diagnose the problem and walk you through your options. A service call covers a full diagnostic, an honest assessment of what the system needs, and a clear recommendation on whether repair or replacement makes more sense. We offer same-day AC repair when our schedule allows, and we treat emergency calls with the urgency they deserve.
When the heat goes out, the clock starts ticking fast in a Utah winter. We handle all types of heating repair, including furnaces that will not start, systems that cycle on and off without warming the house, and air handlers or blowers that are running but not delivering heat. A diagnostic visit covers the key components: ignition, heat exchanger, blower motor, controls, and airflow. We will tell you what we found, what it costs to fix it, and whether the system is worth repairing. Same-day furnace repair is available for urgent situations.
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling from a single system, which makes them a practical choice for many Salt Lake County homes. When a heat pump is not heating in winter or not cooling in summer, the cause is not always obvious without a proper diagnostic. We service all heat pump makes and models, identify the root problem, and handle the repair correctly. If your system is aging or the repair cost is high relative to replacement, we will give you a straight answer on what makes more sense.
Ductless mini-splits are a strong fit for additions, older homes, garages, or any space that lacks existing ductwork. We install and service mini-split systems throughout the area, whether you need a single zone or a multi-zone setup. If your ductless system is not cooling, not heating, or simply not performing the way it should, we can diagnose and repair it. Installation is handled by qualified HVAC technicians who size the equipment correctly for the space.
Leaking or damaged ductwork wastes conditioned air, drives up energy costs, and creates uneven temperatures from room to room. If some parts of your home are always too hot or too cold, or your system runs constantly without reaching the set temperature, the ducts may be the problem. A ductwork inspection identifies leaks, disconnected sections, and airflow restrictions. We repair and seal ducts to restore proper delivery and help your system work the way it was designed to.
A thermostat that is not reading temperatures correctly, not communicating with the system, or simply too old to program reliably can undermine an otherwise well-functioning HVAC setup. We handle standard thermostat replacements and smart thermostat upgrades that give you better comfort control, flexible scheduling, and clearer visibility into how your system is running. Installation is straightforward, and we make sure the new control is properly configured before we leave.
The Salt Lake Valley sits at high elevation with dry winters and periodic air-quality events that push particulate levels up. What comes in from outside, combined with what circulates inside, affects how clean and comfortable your indoor air actually is. We install whole-home air filtration systems and air purifiers that work with your existing HVAC equipment to reduce airborne particles, allergens, and other contaminants. This pairs naturally with whole-home humidification, which we cover in the featured section below.
Staying ahead of HVAC problems keeps your home comfortable and helps avoid the kind of breakdown that always seems to happen at the worst time. A seasonal tune-up covers cleaning, inspection, and adjustment of the components that wear down over time: burners, heat exchangers, coils, filters, refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and controls. We offer both spring and fall maintenance visits so your AC is ready before summer and your heating system is solid before the first hard freeze. We provide prompt response, even for last-minute comfort calls, so if you have been putting off a tune-up, it is not too late to schedule one.
Heating and cooling a home right takes the right tools and a trained hand, and that is especially true when a full system replacement is on the table. We handle new HVAC installations and complete system replacements for both residential and commercial customers. When repair costs are climbing, when a system is past its useful life, or when a building's needs have changed, replacement is often the smarter call. We help you evaluate the options, select equipment that fits the space and the budget, and install it correctly. One number. One call. One HVAC tech at your door. Pick up the phone and we'll get started.
West Valley City winters are serious. The Salt Lake Valley sits at high desert elevation, and temperatures regularly drop well below freezing from November through March. Indoor air dries out fast when forced-air heat runs for months at a stretch. And cold-climate heat pump technology has improved enough that it is now a practical upgrade for many Utah homes. The three services below come up often in this area, and we handle all of them.
A furnace failure in a Utah winter is not a comfort inconvenience. It is a genuine emergency. Forced-air gas furnaces are the dominant heating system in the Salt Lake Valley, and when one fails, getting it repaired or replaced quickly is the priority. We diagnose furnace problems accurately, cover the common failure points, and carry out repairs that hold. When a furnace is too far gone to repair reliably, we handle full replacement and installation so you are back to heat as fast as possible. We offer emergency furnace repair for situations that cannot wait.
Older heat pump technology struggled in temperatures below freezing, which limited its appeal in Utah. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are rated to operate efficiently down to roughly -15 degrees Fahrenheit, which changes the picture considerably for Salt Lake County homeowners. These systems handle both heating and cooling from a single unit, and they have become a fast-growing upgrade option in this area. We install and size cold-climate heat pumps for residential and light commercial applications, and we make sure the equipment is matched correctly to the home's load and layout.
Forced-air heating pulls moisture out of indoor air, and the Salt Lake Valley's high-desert climate starts dry to begin with. By midwinter, indoor humidity levels in many homes drop low enough to cause dry skin, irritated sinuses, static electricity, and damage to wood floors and furniture. A whole-home humidifier mounts directly to the HVAC system and introduces controlled moisture into the air as it circulates. Installation is handled by qualified HVAC technicians who integrate the humidifier with your existing equipment and set it up to maintain a comfortable, consistent humidity level.
We service heating and cooling systems every day, and we're good at it, which means we also know what it looks like when a situation cannot wait. A furnace that goes out during a hard freeze in West Valley City is a health-and-safety issue, not just an inconvenience. An AC failure during a July heat spike can make a home or business uninhabitable fast. We take emergency calls for both heating and cooling failures and work to get a technician to you the same day whenever possible. After-hours and weekend calls are part of what we do. Every emergency repair is carried out with code-compliant HVAC work on every job, because cutting corners on an urgent call creates bigger problems down the road. Call us and we'll handle the rest.
We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and light commercial clients throughout the area. On the residential side, that means single-family homes, older systems that need careful diagnosis, and comfort-driven decisions where the goal is a reliable, efficient system that works without constant attention. On the commercial and rental side, that means apartment buildings, multi-unit properties, retail spaces, and commercial facilities where tenant comfort and code compliance both matter. Being locally owned, our name rides on every service call. When you call, you reach someone who knows this area and takes the work personally.
We are based in West Valley City and serve customers throughout Salt Lake County. That includes Taylorsville, Kearns, Magna, Murray, Midvale, South Salt Lake, Millcreek, and Herriman, along with the neighborhoods in between. If you are nearby and need a local HVAC contractor who knows the area, we are a straightforward call away.
Common signs include the system running but not lowering the indoor temperature, warm air coming from the vents, ice forming on the evaporator coil or refrigerant lines, unusual noise during operation, and the unit cycling on and off more frequently than normal. Any of these points to a problem worth diagnosing before the system fails completely. In a West Valley City summer, catching the issue early avoids being without cooling during the hottest weeks.
A replacement is usually the better call when repair costs are approaching half the price of a new system, when the equipment is more than 15 years old and breaking down repeatedly, or when the system no longer meets the efficiency needs of the home or building. We give you an honest comparison of repair versus replacement costs so you can make the decision that makes the most financial sense over the long term.
A cold-climate heat pump extracts heat energy from outdoor air and moves it inside, even when outdoor temperatures are well below freezing. Modern cold-climate models are rated to operate efficiently down to roughly -15 degrees Fahrenheit, which covers the temperature range West Valley City and the Salt Lake Valley typically see. The same system reverses in summer to provide cooling, so one installation handles both seasons.
Portable humidifiers cover a single room and require regular refilling and cleaning to stay effective. A whole-home humidifier ties directly into your HVAC system and introduces controlled moisture into the air as it circulates through the entire house. In a Utah winter, when forced-air heating and the high-desert climate both work against indoor humidity, a whole-home unit maintains a consistent level automatically without ongoing maintenance demands.
If some rooms are consistently too hot or too cold while others are comfortable, and the system runs without reaching the set temperature, the ductwork is often the cause. Leaking or disconnected ducts can waste a significant share of conditioned air before it reaches the living space. A technician can inspect both the equipment and the duct system and tell you which one is responsible for the problem.
A tune-up covers cleaning, inspection, and adjustment of the components that wear down over time, including burners, heat exchangers, coils, filters, refrigerant levels, electrical connections at the equipment, and controls. The goal is to catch small problems before they turn into failures and to make sure the system is running at the efficiency level it was designed for. We recommend a spring AC tune-up and a fall furnace tune-up each year to cover both seasons.
A no-heat situation during freezing temperatures, a complete AC failure during a heat spike, or a system that has stopped running entirely and will not restart are all genuine emergencies. We also treat situations where a furnace is running but producing no heat as urgent, since occupant safety can become a concern quickly in a Utah winter. Call (385) 556-6289 and we will assess the situation and get a technician to you as fast as possible.
After-hours and emergency calls may carry a different service fee than standard scheduled appointments. We will let you know what to expect before we dispatch a technician so there are no surprises. The priority in an emergency is getting your system running again, and we are upfront about costs before the work begins.
An AC that runs without cooling effectively usually points to one of a few issues: low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty or blocked evaporator or condenser coil, a failing compressor, or a system that is undersized for the space. In some cases, the problem is the ductwork rather than the equipment itself. A diagnostic visit identifies the specific cause so the repair addresses the actual problem rather than just the symptom.
Clear a path to the furnace, air handler, or indoor unit, and make sure the area around the outdoor condenser is accessible. If the equipment is in a closet, basement, attic, or utility room, remove any stored items that block access to the unit or the surrounding panels. For ductwork work, access to registers and return air grilles in each room may also be needed.
A technician starts with a full diagnostic of the system, checking pressures, temperatures, airflow, electrical connections at the equipment, and component condition. For installations and replacements, we also assess the space, the existing ductwork, and the load requirements of the home or building. We explain what we found and what the work involves before any repairs or installation begins.
A burning smell at the start of heating season is often dust burning off the heat exchanger after months of inactivity, which usually clears quickly. A persistent burning smell, however, can indicate an overheating motor or an electrical issue within the equipment and should be diagnosed promptly. A musty smell typically points to mold or mildew growth in the evaporator coil, drain pan, or ductwork, which an air quality or coil cleaning service can address.

How do I know if my furnace needs repair or full replacement?
If your furnace is under ten years old and has had one or two isolated issues, repair usually makes sense. When a system is older, breaking down repeatedly, or losing efficiency to the point where energy bills are climbing, replacement often costs less over the next few years than continued repairs. We give you an honest assessment of both options so you can decide what fits your situation and budget.
What are the signs that my AC needs service before it fails completely?
Warm air from the vents, longer run times without reaching the set temperature, ice forming on the indoor coil, unusual noises, or a sudden spike in your cooling bill are all signals worth paying attention to. Catching a refrigerant leak or a failing component early almost always results in a smaller repair bill than waiting for a full breakdown on the hottest day of the summer.
How often should we schedule heating and cooling maintenance?
Once a year for each system is the standard recommendation. A spring tune-up prepares your AC for summer demand, and a fall furnace inspection gets your heating system ready before temperatures drop. Skipping a season is usually where the expensive mid-winter or mid-summer repair calls come from.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
When a furnace stops in January or an AC quits in July, we offer same-day availability and prompt response, even for last-minute comfort calls. Do not wait for the problem to get worse.
Is the HVAC work permitted and inspected to code?
Yes. Every job we handle is carried out as code-compliant HVAC work. That applies to repairs, new installations, and system replacements. Work done to code protects the equipment's performance, keeps the home safe, and matters when it comes time to sell or refinance a property.
Why is one room in my house always hotter or colder than the rest?
Uneven temperatures are usually a ductwork problem, a sizing issue with the equipment, or a combination of both. Leaky or poorly balanced ducts let conditioned air escape before it reaches certain rooms. We diagnose airflow issues as part of our service calls and can recommend duct sealing or repairs when that turns out to be the cause.
What does a seasonal tune-up actually cover?
A tune-up includes a full inspection of the equipment, cleaning of key components like coils and burners, a check of refrigerant pressures or gas pressure depending on the system type, a filter check, and a test of controls and safety switches. The goal is to catch anything that could cause a breakdown and to confirm the system is running at the efficiency it was designed for.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We tell you what we find and what the work will cost before anything is done. Our goal is a straightforward invoice that matches what we quoted.
Should I try to fix an HVAC problem myself before calling a technician?
There are a few things worth checking first: make sure the thermostat is set correctly, check that the circuit breaker for the unit has not tripped, and look at the filter to see if it is completely blocked. Beyond those basics, HVAC systems involve refrigerant, gas, and electrical components that are best handled by qualified HVAC technicians. Attempting a repair without the right tools and training can turn a small problem into a larger one.
How does a whole-home humidifier differ from a portable unit?
A whole-home humidifier ties directly into your forced-air system and maintains a consistent humidity level throughout the house automatically. You set a target level and the system handles the rest. Portable units only treat one room at a time, require regular refilling, and need to be moved around. For a home in Utah where dry air is a months-long issue every winter, a whole-home unit is a more practical and lower-maintenance solution.
Work Performed by Qualified HVAC Technicians
Every repair, installation, and maintenance visit is handled by qualified HVAC technicians who know the equipment and stand behind the work they do.
What causes a system to short-cycle, and is it serious?
Short-cycling means the system turns on, runs briefly, shuts off, and then starts again in a short loop instead of completing a full heating or cooling cycle. It can be caused by an oversized system, a dirty filter restricting airflow, a refrigerant issue, or a failing component like a pressure switch. It puts extra wear on the equipment and should be diagnosed before it leads to a more expensive failure.
How long does a full system replacement take?
Most residential system replacements are completed in a single day. The exact time depends on the equipment type, whether ductwork modifications are needed, and the complexity of the installation. We will give you a realistic time estimate when we schedule the job so you can plan accordingly.
How do we get a quote for repair or a new system?
Call us at (385) 556-6289 and we will ask a few questions about your system, the issue you are experiencing, and the property type. We then schedule a service call or provide an estimate based on what you describe. We give you clear pricing before any work begins so there are no surprises when the job is done.
