AC Repair in West Jordan and the Wasatch Front
Salt Lake summers do not give an AC much room to coast. When the unit stops keeping up, the house heats up fast. J & M has been working on Utah air conditioners since 1965 and our techs know what tends to fail and what is worth fixing.
Most AC problems show up the same way. The thermostat is set to cool, the system is running, but the air coming out of the vents is room temperature or barely cool. Sometimes the outdoor unit hums and stops, sometimes the line set is iced over, and sometimes the breaker keeps tripping. Each of these has a real cause, and a tech who knows the equipment can usually find it within the first part of the visit.
Common AC repairs in West Jordan, South Jordan, Sandy, Draper, Herriman, Riverton, Taylorsville, and Salt Lake City include capacitor replacement, contactor failure, refrigerant leaks at line set fittings, condenser fan motor failure, blower motor problems, clogged condensate lines, and stuck float switches. The fix can be quick once we know what we are dealing with.
We charge by the job, not the hour. The tech walks you through what they found, gives you the options, and tells you the price up front. If the unit is at the end of its life, we will say so and lay out what a replacement looks like instead of selling you a repair that will not last the season.
Common Signs You Need AC Repair

Repair or Replace?
A capacitor or contactor on a healthy 8 year old AC is a clean repair. A failing compressor on a 14 year old R-22 system is usually the wrong place to spend the money. We will compare the cost of the repair against a replacement on paper so the choice is easier to make.
What Affects the Price
- What component failed and how hard it is to source
- Refrigerant type and amount needed
- Age and overall condition of the system
- Access to the indoor unit and outdoor condenser
- Whether there is collateral damage like a burned-out blower
- Whether other parts are nearing failure at the same time
We charge by the job, not the hour. The technician explains your options on site and gives you the job price before any work starts.
