Question Answers
My air conditioner is running but not cooling my Moab home. What's usually the cause?
In our hot, dry climate, the most common culprits are a dirty or clogged air filter restricting airflow, a refrigerant leak, or a failing compressor. Dust and debris from our environment can quickly coat condenser coils, reducing efficiency. We recommend starting with a filter check, but for a proper diagnosis, our technicians can perform a full system evaluation to pinpoint the issue and get your cool air flowing again.
Why is my smart thermostat acting up or not communicating with my HVAC system?
Smart thermostats can lose connectivity due to Wi-Fi fluctuations, outdated firmware, or incorrect wiring during installation. The power from your HVAC system can also sometimes 'brown out,' causing a reset. We'll check the wiring, ensure it's receiving constant power, reconnect it to your network, and update its software. Often, it's a quick fix to restore the convenience and energy savings you expect.
How often should I service my HVAC system living in Moab's extreme climate?
We strongly recommend bi-annual maintenance—once in the spring before the summer heat and once in the fall before winter. Our intense summer heat pushes AC units to their limit, making spring tune-ups crucial for preventing breakdowns. Fall service ensures your heating system is ready for colder nights. This proactive care improves efficiency, extends your system's life, and helps avoid costly emergency repairs during peak seasons.
