Furnace & A/C repair in Salt Lake City
A/C and furnace emergencies answered seven days a week — we come out and fix what we can that visit.
Old homes, tight spaces, real experience
Salt Lake City is the oldest and most architecturally varied part of the valley, and it shows up in the heating and cooling. Up on the east bench — the Avenues, Federal Heights, and around the University — you’ll find early-1900s homes that were never designed for central air, with tight mechanical rooms, retrofitted ductwork, and in plenty of cases no ductwork at all. Closer to downtown and out on the west side, it’s everything from new condos to mid-century ramblers.
That range is exactly where experience pays off. Servicing a furnace wedged into a 1920s basement, keeping the mini-split that finally cooled a home with no ducts running right, or quieting down a system that bangs and short-cycles all winter — that’s the kind of work we do all over the city, with the same thorough diagnosis and upfront price every time.

Why hire a repair-only HVAC contractor?
The economics of most HVAC companies point toward selling you equipment. Canyon Comfort doesn’t sell or install equipment at all, so there is no replacement quota behind our advice. When a $220 repair fixes it, that’s the whole answer: you see the actual readings and photos of what we found. And on the day a system truly is finished, we tell you straight and walk you through why a new system is the best choice — and if you’d like, we’ll recommend a trusted local installation company.
What actually makes us different
Four things that protect your comfort and your wallet on every visit.
Century-old Avenues & Capitol Hill homes, done right
Bungalows and Victorians up in the Avenues and Capitol Hill were never built with ductwork in mind. We’re used to the tight furnace closets, the retrofit compromises, and the mini-splits these historic homes end up running — we service and repair every brand. See mini-split options →
Every tune-up ends with a System Health Report
Instead of a verbal “all good,” you get the numbers: static pressure, airflow, temperatures, and electrical on every furnace and A/C tune-up, plus a CO safety test on every furnace. See what’s in it →
Rose Park to the East Bench — one upfront price
From working-class Rose Park and Glendale to the East Bench near the U, we quote the same way everywhere — a real diagnosis and a fair price, no neighborhood markup. See our pricing →
Photo proof on every single job
The dirty coil, the cracked heat exchanger, the finished repair — documented before and after. You see the real condition, not just our word. See our real job photos →

The full lineup for an old (or new) SLC home
The add-ons that clean and balance the air — matched to your home, from the air-quality upgrades inversion season calls for on down.
Portable A/C rental in Salt Lake City
If your A/C is down or you are waiting on a part, we deliver two high-efficiency portable A/C units covering about 900 square feet, plus a portable swamp cooler. We set them up fast and pick them up when the fix is done — $150 for delivery, setup and takedown plus $20 a day, and $10 a day for a third unit. Rental pricing →
Smart thermostats
Better scheduling and lower bills, set up right for your system.
Whole-home air scrubbers
Cut dust, dander, and odors throughout the house — a real help during the city’s winter inversions.
5″ media filters
Far more dust caught than a 1″ filter, without choking airflow — changed only every 4–6 months.
Steam humidifiers
Easier on dry skin and on the old wood floors and trim in historic homes.
HRV fresh-air systems
Bring in fresh air without throwing away your heating or cooling — great for tightly sealed remodels.
Surge protectors
Cheap insurance for the expensive control boards and compressors in a modern system.
Furnace & coil cleaning
We clean the blower and indoor coil — where airflow is actually lost — not just your ducts. Why it matters →
Drafty, uneven old home? We can fix that.
Older Salt Lake homes are famous for it — one room you can hang meat in, another that’s stuffy and hot, and ductwork that was added decades after the house was built. You usually don’t need a bigger system to fix it.
Through air balancing, sealing and insulating ductwork, and adding airflow (or a mini-split) where the old layout falls short, we get the whole house closer to one comfortable temperature — and cut the energy you’re wasting along the way. On one Wasatch Front home we measured a vent blowing air 14°F warmer than the A/C coil, just from a single uninsulated duct run. See how even-temperature work works →

Old homes reward doing it right
There’s no faking quality work in a century-old Salt Lake home. The shortcuts that pass unnoticed in a new build — an oversized unit, a sloppy refrigerant charge, a duct connection left half-sealed — show up fast as uneven rooms, high bills, and repeat breakdowns. We bring the full kit to every job and use it: a real diagnosis, proper recovery and deep vacuum on refrigerant work, clean brazed joints, the exact charge weighed in, and a tested result.
It also means straight advice — the real repair-or-replace math. Doing it correctly the first time is cheaper for you than doing it twice.
We leave it cleaner than we found it
Your home isn’t a job site to us. We lay down drop cloths, set our tools and equipment on protective mats, keep the work area organized, and clean up completely before we leave — care that matters in a home with original hardwood and plaster.
It’s a small thing that says a lot — and customers tell us again and again that we “left no trace” any work was done. You shouldn’t have to clean up after the people you hired, and with us you won’t.

Licensed, insured, and 5.0-rated on Google, serving Salt Lake City days, evenings and weekends. Call or text 801-960-5925.
Do you install or replace air conditioners and furnaces in Salt Lake City?
No. Canyon Comfort is a repair-only HVAC company, so we repair existing furnaces and air conditioners but do not sell or install new systems. If testing shows that replacement truly is the right choice, we tell you the diagnosis and walk you through why a new system is the best option — and if you’d like, we’ll recommend a trusted local installation company. No replacement sale influences the advice.
My A/C isn’t cooling or it’s blowing warm air — can you fix it in Salt Lake City?
Yes. Canyon Comfort repairs A/C systems in Salt Lake City that run without cooling, blow warm air, freeze up, or trip the breaker, often the same day. We diagnose the actual cause — such as low refrigerant, a failed capacitor, a dirty or frozen coil, or compressor trouble. If a repair has to wait, portable A/C rental is available to keep the home comfortable.
My system is blowing out cool air, but my home isn’t cooling. What’s wrong?
First, check whether the outdoor A/C unit is actually running. Sometimes the air coming from the vents is just cooler basement air being circulated, or it feels cool simply because it’s moving — even though the A/C itself isn’t cooling. If the thermostat is calling for cooling but the outdoor unit isn’t running, or the system keeps running without bringing the temperature down, call Canyon Comfort at 801-960-5925 for A/C repair.
Do you offer emergency or after-hours A/C repair in Salt Lake City?
Yes. Canyon Comfort provides emergency A/C repair in Salt Lake City during the day, evenings until 10pm, and weekends. The diagnostic is $80 weekdays from 7am–6pm and $120 evenings and weekends, with the $80 diagnostic credited toward an approved repair. If the repair has to wait, portable A/C rental is often available while your system is down. Call or text 801-960-5925.
Do you charge extra for a night or weekend visit in Salt Lake City?
Yes. HVAC diagnostics in Salt Lake City are $80 weekdays from 7am–6pm and $120 weeknights and weekends, which is the regular $80 diagnostic plus a $40 after-hours charge. If you approve the repair, the $80 diagnostic is credited toward it.
Do you service all A/C, furnace, and heat pump brands in Salt Lake City?
Yes. Canyon Comfort diagnoses and repairs all major A/C, furnace, and heat pump brands in Salt Lake City, including Lennox, Goodman, Amana, Carrier, Rheem, and Trane. We work on both older systems and current high-efficiency equipment.
Do you work on older furnaces and A/C systems in Salt Lake City?
Yes — older furnaces and A/C systems are a specialty. We’re a repair-only HVAC company, so we have no reason to call a system too old: we repair older equipment other companies write off, check parts availability before the visit, and walk you through the same repair-or-replace math either way. Age alone never means replacement.
Will you protect my floors and keep the work area clean?
Yes. We put down protective coverings where needed, keep the work area organized, and clean up completely when the job is finished. Your furnace room or hallway closet gets the same care as the finished areas of your home.
Do you work on larger homes with multiple systems?
Yes. Canyon Comfort services Salt Lake City homes with two, three, or more furnace and A/C systems in the same visit. For tune-ups, the first system is $110 and each additional system completed during the same visit is $90; a furnace and A/C combination is $180.
What do you actually check in a furnace tune-up?
A Canyon Comfort furnace tune-up measures airflow, static pressure, temperature performance, and electrical operation and includes a carbon monoxide safety test. The readings are documented in a written System Health Report so you know how the system is actually performing. Tune-ups are $110 for the first system, $90 for each additional system in the same visit, or $180 for a furnace and A/C together, and include a one-year diagnostic warranty that waives the diagnostic fee if the tuned system breaks down within a year.
What happens if my furnace or A/C breaks down after a tune-up?
If a system we tuned up breaks down within a year of the visit, the diagnostic fee is waived — that’s our one-year diagnostic warranty, included with every tune-up. We come out, find the problem, and quote the repair up front, with no diagnostic charge standing between you and the answer.
My remodeled Salt Lake City home is uneven floor to floor — can you figure out why?
Yes. Canyon Comfort diagnoses airflow and comfort problems in remodeled Salt Lake City homes, where additions and layout changes can leave rooms underserved or ductwork mismatched. We measure airflow and static pressure to identify where the problem is before recommending corrections such as air balancing, duct sealing, return-air improvements, or other airflow changes.
Can you diagnose rooms that are always too hot or too cold in Salt Lake City?
Yes — uneven rooms are an airflow problem we diagnose with instruments, not guesses. The $80 Airflow Diagnostic measures total airflow and static pressure to find where air is being lost or restricted, and you get a written plan for fixing it — air balancing, duct sealing, added returns, or zoning where the layout calls for it.
Is it worth upgrading to a high-efficiency system?
Sometimes. Whether a high-efficiency system makes sense depends on the home, existing equipment, comfort problems, energy use, and the cost of the upgrade. Canyon Comfort does not sell or install new systems, so we can explain the options without having a replacement system to sell you.
Do you offer after-hours or weekend emergency HVAC repair in Salt Lake City?
Yes — emergency repair is what we do. We cover Salt Lake City weekdays 7am-10pm and weekends (Saturday 8am–10pm and Sunday 8am–9pm) — whether it’s no heat on a cold night or no cooling in a heat wave. And if we can’t finish the fix that night, you can rent a portable A/C from us so you stay comfortable until it’s done. Call or text 801-960-5925.
My older home has no ductwork — can I still get air conditioning?
Yes — a ductless mini-split is usually the cleanest answer for the Avenues and other historic neighborhoods, adding quiet, efficient cooling (and heat) without tearing up plaster walls. We repair and service them, but we do not install them.
Can you fit a new furnace into a tight, old basement?
We do not sell or install new systems — we are a repair-only HVAC company. But tight, old Salt Lake City basements are where we do a lot of our emergency repair work. If yours needs a full replacement, we’ll diagnose it and walk you through exactly why, so the big job gets done right — with an install company we trust on offer.
Why is my old house so drafty and uneven?
Older homes often have ductwork added long after they were built, plus leaks and insulation gaps. Air balancing, duct sealing, and added airflow (or a mini-split) can even things out without a bigger system. More on even-temperature work →
How fast can you get to my Salt Lake City neighborhood?
Often the same evening you call. The city sits right in the middle of our service area, and we cover it Mon-Fri 7am-10pm, Sat 8am-10pm, and Sunday 8am–9pm. Call or text 801-960-5925 and we’ll get to you as fast as we can — and you can rent a portable A/C from us if the repair has to wait.
