A city you can read east to west

West Jordan grew like a tree adds rings. Near Redwood Road you'll find the ramblers and split-entries of the 70s and 80s. Cross Bangerter and the two-story 90s and 2000s subdivisions take over. Keep going toward Mountain View Corridor and the houses are young enough that their first equipment failures are just now arriving. Each ring calls us for different reasons.

  • East side, 70s–80s: swamp coolers due forcentral air conversion, original furnaces on borrowed time, and split-levels that have never once heated evenly.
  • Middle, 90s–2000s: builder-grade furnaces and first-generation AC hitting the 20-to-30-year wall, and finished basements the ductwork was never updated to serve.
  • West side, newer: first repair calls on systems leaving warranty, and homeowners deciding whether to fix builder-grade equipment or step up when it fails.

The split-level problem, solved properly

No housing type generates more comfort complaints per square foot than the split-entry. The lower level sits half underground and runs cold. The upper level catches the sun and runs warm. The thermostat lives on neither level's plane and satisfies nobody. Owners live with it for years because the first company they called quoted a whole new system.

Often the honest fix is smaller: balance the dampers, add a return where the air has no way home, or zone the levels so each gets its own thermostat. We start with the cheap diagnosis, and when a new system genuinely is the answer, it comes with our 5-year labor warranty and sizing done for a split-level's odd load, not a generic square-footage chart.

Basements that became bedrooms

Half of West Jordan finished its basement at some point, and most of those projects passed inspection without anyone extending the ductwork. The result is the coldest guest room in Utah. Adding supply runs and a proper return to a finished basement is routine work for us, and it's the rare HVAC job that transforms a room for a modest price. If you're planning the finish now, call us before the drywall goes up — it's half the cost at that stage.

★★★★★

“My brother recommended this company, after they replaced my nieces AC and did a great job and they had the best bid. … 2 very knowledgeable techs came and replaced the our entire AC and were done in 5 hours. I would recommend Lucas Heating highly and their price is very reasonable.”

West Jordan questions

Straight answers for West Jordan homeowners

Our split-level is freezing downstairs and warm upstairs. Is that fixable?

It's the signature West Jordan complaint and yes, it's fixable. Split-entries and split-levels have half-buried lower floors that lose heat to the ground while the upper half bakes in the sun. Fixes range from duct balancing and added returns to zoning the levels separately. We diagnose before we prescribe — sometimes the fix costs a few hundred dollars, not a few thousand.

We finished our basement but never touched the ducts. Why is it always cold down there?

Because the ductwork was designed for an unfinished storage space, not bedrooms. Finished basements usually need supply runs added or extended and a return path so air actually circulates. We do this work all the time in West Jordan's 80s and 90s stock — it pairs well with a furnace replacement but doesn't require one.

Is it worth replacing our swamp cooler with central air?

On the east side of West Jordan, where homes from the 70s and 80s still run swamp coolers, this is one of our most common jobs. If your furnace has ducts, you're most of the way there: we add a condenser and coil, cap the cooler, and you get real cooling that works during monsoon humidity and keeps smoke out during fire season.
