An air conditioner picks its moment. It limps through June, then quits during the first real heat wave of a Salt Lake Valley summer — the same week half the county’s systems fail and the upstairs bedrooms turn unsleepable. Now you need someone who’ll come quickly, tell you the truth about what broke, and not use a 95-degree afternoon to pressure you into a system you don’t need.
Air conditioning repair starts with a tested diagnosis. A technician checks the refrigerant charge, capacitor, compressor, condenser coil, blower, and airflow to isolate the actual fault — because a system that’s “low on refrigerant” has a leak to find, and a dead unit is often a simple, inexpensive capacitor rather than a compressor. You get the finding explained in plain language and the price up front, before any work begins.
That’s the approach behind Larsen HVAC & Plumbing’s 4.9-star average across more than hundreds of Google reviews — homeowners describing repairs done without the upsell, often the same day or the next business day. The team repairs all makes and models, with Rheem and Ruud as declared specialisms, and after-hours and weekend emergency cover handles the failures that won’t wait for Monday.
What calling a proper repair team gets you
- A diagnosis of the real fault, tested rather than guessed from the symptom
- The price stated before work starts — no surprises when the panel goes back on
- Repairs on all makes and models, whatever badge is on the unit
- After-hours and weekend emergency response when the house is cooking
- An honest verdict when a repair would be throwing money at a dying system
- A leak found and fixed, not another season of topping up refrigerant
Why is your AC running but not cooling?
Usually one of four faults: low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty condenser coil that can’t shed heat, a failing compressor, or blocked airflow from a clogged filter. Each has a different fix and a different price, which is why the diagnosis comes before the quote — treating the wrong one wastes your money.
Why is your AC freezing up?
Ice on the refrigerant lines or indoor coil almost always means starved airflow or low refrigerant. A clogged filter, blocked return, or failing blower lets the coil get too cold; so does a refrigerant leak. Switch the system off and let it thaw — running it frozen risks the compressor, which turns a small repair into a replacement question.
Why does your AC keep tripping the breaker?
A breaker that trips once may be a fluke; one that trips repeatedly is protecting you from an electrical fault — commonly a failing capacitor, a compressor drawing excess current, or a short in the wiring. Don’t keep resetting it. That’s a same-visit diagnosis with the right meter, and running through trips can destroy the compressor.
Keeping Your Cool: What Helps and When to Stop
A little care prevents most summer failures — and a few signs mean switch it off and call.
Our tips for avoiding the mid-summer breakdown
- Change the filter before cooling season and monthly through the summer — starved airflow is behind a large share of the failures we repair.
- Keep two feet clear around the outdoor condenser and rinse its fins gently with a hose when they're visibly dusty; a coil caked in debris can't dump heat.
- Don't ignore a new noise or a weaker-than-usual airflow — the failures that strand families in July usually announce themselves in June.
- If the house isn't cooling, check the thermostat mode and batteries and the breaker panel before you call — our technicians find these more often than anyone admits.
Switch the system off and call if
- There's ice anywhere on the refrigerant lines or indoor coil
- The breaker trips more than once — repeated resets can take out the compressor
- You hear grinding, screeching, or a hard buzz from the outdoor unit
- You smell burning from a vent or the equipment
- The unit hisses or bubbles — that's refrigerant escaping, a job for an EPA-certified technician

What Our Clients Say
"I have purchased 4 A/C units from Larsen HVAC and I have never been sorry. They do awesome work!! This week one of my A/C unit was having some issues Shawn came out the day after I called him and fixed the issue. Thanks Shawn for coming out on the holiday!I would absolutely recommend you work with Shawn and his team for new or repairs. He will keep your business."
"We called Larsen HVAC & Plumbing for a second opinion on our AC issue, and I am so glad we did. They were honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough in helping us diagnose and fix the problem. Their advice and workmanship saved us a significant amount of money, and I trusted them completely throughout the entire process. It is rare to find a company that makes you feel this confident and taken care of. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing HVAC & plumbing work."
"Shawn and Ali were awesome. Our AC started tripping the breaker. Shawn came in and was able to diagnose it quickly. He also noticed incorrect wiring that the builder had put in. We were worried that it would cost a fortune, but Shawn was able to look up our specific AC and found that it was still covered under warranty. They handled all the warranty work and everything. Working with them was an extremely smooth and work free process."
"So grateful for Larsen HVAC! My AC wasn’t working in August and they came that same day to troubleshoot. They were able to locate the part I needed and get it taken care of asap! They were dependable, efficient and honest with what needed done. I’ve been a customer of Larsen HVAC for 8 years now and highly recommend them!! Calling now to get my furnace tuned up for winter! Thanks Shawn, Braden and Nick! Appreciate you!"

Why AC Repair Calls Get Answered Quickly in West Jordan
West Jordan’s road map does repair crews a favor. Bangerter Highway (SR-154) cuts a north-west to south-east diagonal across the city — unusual in a valley laid out on a strict grid — while the Mountain View Corridor (SR-85) runs north–south along the western edge. Between them, the two routes put almost every West Jordan neighborhood within a few minutes of a major road, so an air conditioning repair call here is reached quickly whichever side of Bangerter the property sits on.
That geography matters most in cooling season, when a failed system turns a family’s upstairs into the hottest rooms in the house and repair demand across the valley spikes in the same week. A crew dispatched from the Airport Road shop isn’t crossing the county to reach a West Jordan address — it’s minutes from the diagonal or the corridor, and minutes from your street off either one. Quick reach doesn’t fix an air conditioner, but it decides how long you live without one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer emergency AC repair in West Jordan?
Yes — after-hours and weekend emergency service is available beyond the standard Monday to Friday hours, for the failures that arrive mid-heat-wave. Call (801) 930-5450 and you reach the team directly, with a clear arrival window rather than an all-day maybe.
How much does air conditioning repair cost?
It depends entirely on the fault — a capacitor and a compressor are very different repairs. What doesn’t change is the process: tested diagnosis first, then the price stated up front, so you approve the actual repair rather than an estimate that grows on your driveway.
Should I repair my air conditioner or replace it?
Age and refrigerant decide most cases. A unit past 15 years, or one running an obsolete refrigerant where every top-up costs more, is usually better replaced when a major component fails. A younger system with a first fault is worth fixing — and you’ll get both paths priced honestly.
Do you repair all air conditioner brands?
Yes. Every make and model gets repaired here, with Rheem and Ruud as Larsen HVAC & Plumbing’s declared equipment specialisms. The diagnosis process is the same methodical working-through whatever the brand — the fault doesn’t care what’s printed on the cabinet.
Can a refrigerant leak be fixed, or does it need refilling every year?
It can and should be fixed. Topping up refrigerant every season treats the symptom while the leak grows and the compressor strains. Leak detection finds the escape point so it’s repaired once — handled by an EPA-certified technician, as refrigerant work legally requires.
