A century of housing, and we've worked on all of it
Salt Lake City's homes span more than a hundred years of construction, and each era brings its own heating and cooling problems to our phone line.
- The Avenues and Capitol Hill. Victorian and early-1900s homes, many still heated by radiators, most without a duct anywhere in the house. Summer cooling here usually means ductless mini-splits: no ducts needed, quiet, and sized room by room.
- Sugar House, Liberty Wells, and the 9th & 9th cottages.Bungalows from the 1910s through the 1940s with tight utility closets, retrofit ductwork of wildly varying quality, and furnaces squeezed into spaces modern equipment barely fits. We measure before we quote, because in these houses the install is the job.
- Rose Park and Glendale. Post-war ramblers where the original swamp cooler is still on the roof. Converting to central air is one of our most common west-side jobs, and since the ductwork usually exists already, it's often simpler than homeowners expect. Start with AC installation.
Cooling an old house without wrecking it
Older Salt Lake City homes punish shortcuts. Undersized returns choke airflow. A furnace crammed against a closet wall can't be serviced. And a house with 60-amp or 100-amp electrical service may need panel work before it can run a condenser. We flag that last one honestly: we're not electricians, and we'll tell you before the install, not after, if your panel needs an electrician's attention first.
That's also why we quote in person and free. Two bungalows on the same block can be entirely different jobs once you open the utility closet.
The inversion is a Salt Lake City problem, and we treat it like one
Every January the valley floor seals under a lid of cold air, and everything the city exhausts stays in it. Your furnace filter sees that air all day. For homes with kids, asthma, or anyone who watches the air quality index before going outside, a media filter or whole-home purifier turns the house into the clean room the city can't be. It's the same equipment that earns its keep again during wildfire smoke in August. See indoor air quality for what actually works, because some of what's sold doesn't.

“Installing a 4 zone daiken mini split system. We hope to have it operational tonight. It is replacing a swamp cooler — a tremendous upgrade.”
Salt Lake City questions
Straight answers for Salt Lake City homeowners
Can you add air conditioning to a house with radiators?
Yes, and it's one of the most common calls we get from the Avenues and the older east side. Radiator homes have no ductwork, so the usual answer is a ductless mini-split system: one outdoor unit, slim indoor heads in the rooms you use most, no ducts required. Where an attic or crawlspace allows it, compact ducted systems are an option too. We'll look at your house and price both paths.
My bungalow still has a swamp cooler. Is switching to central air worth it?
In most cases the switch pays off in comfort alone: real cooling on 100-degree days, no window left open, no pads to change, and it filters air instead of pulling outside air in during fire season. If your furnace already has ductwork, adding a condenser and coil is a straightforward job. We'll quote it free and tell you honestly if your ducts need work first.
Does the inversion actually affect my furnace or filters?
It affects filters more than equipment. During inversion weeks the valley floor holds fine particulate, and a one-inch filter loads up fast. We recommend checking filters monthly in January and February, and for sensitive households a media filter or air purifier does real work. Ask about indoor air quality options with any service visit.
Do you handle commercial spaces downtown?
Yes, light commercial: shops, restaurants, offices, and small warehouses. Rooftop units, split systems, and ductless for server rooms or additions. Our shop is at 840 W 1700 S, so downtown is minutes away.
