Air Conditioning

At Gillette Services - Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, we understand the unique cooling demands that Lehi’s high desert climate places on residential and commercial HVAC systems. As a locally owned and family-operated company committed to putting our customers and employees first, we bring a personal touch to every air conditioning installation, repair, and maintenance job we handle throughout the Lehi area.

The Silicon Slopes corridor running through Lehi means rapid development, new construction, and an ever-increasing number of homes and businesses that need efficient, dependable cooling. Whether you live in a newly built neighborhood near Traverse Mountain or own an older home closer to Main Street, we offer fast response times and take responsibility in our work. We are reliable, and our goal is to keep your indoor environment comfortable all summer long without unexpected breakdowns or sky-high energy bills.

Air Conditioning Installation for Lehi Homes and Businesses

Choosing the right air conditioning system requires careful analysis of your property’s square footage, insulation quality, ductwork condition, and your family’s specific comfort preferences. We begin every installation project with a thorough load calculation, which measures the precise amount of cooling capacity your space requires. Oversizing a system leads to short cycling, increased humidity, and premature component wear, while undersizing results in continuous operation and inadequate comfort. Our technicians use Manual J calculations to ensure exact sizing for every project we take on.

Modern air conditioning units are rated by their Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, commonly known as SEER2 under the updated Department of Energy standards that took effect in 2023. Today’s high-efficiency systems can achieve SEER2 ratings above 20, meaning they use significantly less electricity than units manufactured even ten years ago. For Lehi homeowners considering an upgrade, the energy savings alone can offset equipment costs over the system’s lifespan. We walk you through every available option, explain the long-term value of each, and help you make a decision that fits your budget and comfort goals. We are here to understand and offer personalized service tailored to your situation.

Comprehensive Air Conditioning Repair

When your AC stops working on a sweltering July afternoon, you need a team that responds quickly and diagnoses accurately. Common air conditioning problems we encounter in the Lehi area include:

• Refrigerant leaks that reduce cooling capacity and increase compressor strain
• Failed capacitors that prevent the compressor or fan motor from starting
• Frozen evaporator coils caused by restricted airflow or low refrigerant levels
• Thermostat malfunctions that lead to erratic temperature control
• Clogged condensate drains that can trigger system shutdowns or water damage

Our technicians arrive equipped with diagnostic tools and commonly needed parts so that many repairs can be completed during the first visit. We explain what went wrong, what we recommend, and why, so you are never left guessing about the work being performed in your home.

Preventive Maintenance That Extends System Life

Industry data from the Department of Energy indicates that routine maintenance can improve air conditioning efficiency by up to 15 percent and significantly extend equipment lifespan. We recommend scheduling a professional tune-up each spring before Lehi’s cooling season begins. Our maintenance process includes a detailed checklist:

1. Inspect and clean the condenser and evaporator coils for optimal heat transfer
2. Test electrical connections and tighten components to prevent arcing or failure
3. Verify refrigerant charge and check for leaks throughout the system
4. Lubricate moving parts and assess belt tension where applicable
5. Evaluate thermostat calibration and airflow across all registers

This proactive approach catches small issues before they become expensive emergencies, keeping your system running at peak performance throughout the hottest months of the year.
