Immediate Relief from Mechanical Failures

Homeowners rarely think about their heating, cooling, or plumbing systems until they stop working. Unfortunately, these breakdowns often occur during extreme weather conditions. In the height of summer or the dead of winter, a malfunctioning system shifts from a minor inconvenience to a safety hazard. S.O.S. Heating & Cooling understands that time is critical when your living environment is compromised.

Our approach focuses on rapid mobilization. Whether it is a furnace refusing to ignite, an air conditioner blowing warm air, or a water heater that has sprung a leak, the goal is to stabilize the situation immediately. We service the entire Park City region, addressing common issues exacerbated by local environmental factors. From addressing frozen pipes caused by sharp temperature drops to fixing AC units strained by dry heat, our technicians bring the right tools and parts to the job site on the first visit.

Today’s Services: Fast, Efficient, and Reliable

When you schedule a service visit, you are looking for a definitive answer to the problem, not a temporary patch. Our technicians perform a comprehensive system audit upon arrival to identify the root cause of the failure. This goes beyond symptom management; we look for the underlying mechanical or electrical faults that caused the breakdown.

For heating and cooling systems, the diagnostic process includes:

• Airflow Analysis: Technicians measure static pressure and airflow to ensure the blower motor and ductwork are delivering air efficiently. Restricted airflow is a primary cause of compressor failure and heat exchanger cracks.
• Electrical Component Testing: We inspect capacitors, contactors, and control boards. Loose connections or worn-out electrical parts are frequently responsible for intermittent operation.
• Refrigerant and Gas Pressure Checks: Ensuring your AC has the correct refrigerant charge and your furnace has the proper gas pressure is vital for safety and efficiency.
• Safety Inspection: This involves checking for carbon monoxide leaks, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, and testing all limit switches.

For plumbing systems, the scope includes:

• Leak Detection: Using advanced listening devices and moisture meters to locate leaks behind walls or under slabs without unnecessary destruction.
• Drain Line Video Inspection: We insert high-resolution cameras into your sewer lines to identify blockages, tree root intrusion, or pipe collapse.
• Water Heater Diagnostics: checking elements, thermostats, and gas control valves on tank and tankless units.
• Pressure Testing: verifying that your home’s water pressure is within a safe range to prevent stress on fixtures and appliances.

Your Guide to Quick HVAC and Plumbing Service

Understanding what happens during a service call eliminates the stress of the unknown. We have streamlined our process to ensure efficiency and transparency from the moment a truck pulls into your driveway. There is no guesswork involved; you receive a clear roadmap of the work required to restore your systems.

• Arrival and Assessment: A uniformed technician arrives within the scheduled window, fully equipped with a stocked vehicle. They listen to your observations regarding the noise, smell, or performance issue before beginning the physical inspection.
• Thorough Diagnostics: The technician isolates the system and runs a series of stress tests. For HVAC, this means cycling the system through various modes. For plumbing, this involves isolation testing and pressure checks.
• Clear Explanation and Quote: Once the issue is identified, you receive a detailed explanation of what failed and why. We provide a flat-rate quote for the repair. You approve the price before any work begins, ensuring there are no surprises on the final bill.
• Execution of Repairs: Most common parts are available on the truck, allowing for immediate repair. If a specialized part is needed, we handle the sourcing and logistics to expedite the return visit.
• System Verification: After the repair is complete, the system is not just turned on; it is tested to ensure it reaches peak performance parameters. We check temperature splits for AC, combustion efficiency for furnaces, and flow rates for plumbing.
• Site Cleanup: The workspace is left cleaner than it was found. All debris, old parts, and packaging materials are removed from your property.

Deciding Between Repair and Replacement

One of the most difficult decisions a homeowner faces is whether to invest in repairing an aging system or to replace it entirely. This decision involves balancing immediate costs against long-term savings and reliability. We provide the data you need to make an informed financial choice based on the specific condition of your equipment.

Consider replacement if the following factors apply:

• The 50% Rule: If the cost of the repair approaches 50% of the value of a new system, replacement is generally the wiser financial move. Investing heavily in an old unit often leads to "throwing good money after bad."
• Age of the Equipment: Furnaces typically last 15-20 years, air conditioners 10-15 years, and water heaters 8-12 years. If your unit is nearing the end of its expected lifespan and requires a major repair, a new unit offers better reliability.
• Frequency of Breakdowns: If you have required multiple repairs in the last two years, the system is likely entering a phase of rapid decline. Continued repairs will likely accumulate to exceed the cost of a new installation.
• Efficiency Ratings: Older units are significantly less efficient than modern standards. A 15-year-old furnace may operate at 60-70% efficiency, meaning 30-40 cents of every dollar spent on gas is wasted. upgrading to a 95%+ efficiency unit can lower monthly utility bills enough to offset the installation cost over time; view rebates today.
• Comfort Issues: If your system runs constantly but fails to maintain the set temperature, or if you have hot and cold spots throughout the house, the unit may be undersized or the compressor may be failing.

Local Guidelines: Ensuring Compliance and Efficiency

Operating HVAC and plumbing systems in Utah requires adherence to specific local codes and an understanding of regional environmental factors. The high altitude and specific climate conditions in Park City affect how equipment operates and how it must be installed.

• High Altitude Derating: Gas furnaces and water heaters operating at high altitudes need to be derated. The thinner air affects the air-to-fuel mixture during combustion. If a system is not properly calibrated for elevation, it will operate inefficiently and can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
• Hard Water Considerations: The region is known for hard water, which wreaks havoc on plumbing systems. Mineral buildup accelerates corrosion in water heaters and clogs fixtures. We assess water quality and recommend softeners or specific piping materials, such as PEX, that resist scale buildup better than copper in certain applications.
• Permitting and Inspections: Major installations, such as replacing a water heater, furnace, or re-piping a home, require permits from the local municipality. This ensures the work meets safety codes regarding gas line sizing, venting requirements, and electrical grounding. We handle the permitting process to ensure your home remains compliant and safe.
• Winterization Needs: Given the freezing winter temperatures, plumbing in unheated spaces (like crawl spaces or attics) requires specialized insulation or heat tape. Hose bibs must be frost-free, and irrigation systems must be properly blown out.
• Dry Climate Cooling: In our dry summer climate, air conditioners must handle sensible heat load effectively. We check that evaporator coils are matched correctly to condensers to maximize cooling capacity without freezing over, a common issue when airflow is low and the air is dry.
