When the weather gets really hot in Orem, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Many common problems with air conditioning systems can arise. Our team at Skylake Heating & Air wants you to be aware, prepared, and ready to solve these air conditioning issues so you and your family can stay cool this summer.

Home ownership comes with a great deal of responsibilities and an ever-growing to-do list. Add to that the responsibilities of a career and a family, and you see why modern life runs at a constant, fast pace here in Orem. It’s easy to bump things like an air conditioner tune-up down the priority list, both in terms of time and money. It’s very likely you have higher priorities requiring more urgent attention than an air conditioner that seems to be working just fine.

Should you repair or replace? That’s always the big question when it comes to major home systems like air conditioning (AC). Repairs are easier on the pocketbook in the short run, but too many of them can add up. 

Can you imagine a hot Orem summer without air conditioning? Your air conditioning system can be your very best friend on the warmest days.

It’s the first really hot day of summer in Orem when the floor fans and the open windows just don’t cut it anymore. You head over to your thermostat and select “air conditioner” and wait for that refreshing icy air to start blowing out of your vents. When you check a few minutes later, you feel only hot air. Why? Many reasons can cause an air conditioner to malfunction, resulting in warm or hot air blowing through your vents. Our Skylake Heating & Air professionals want to help you diagnose those problems quickly and then get them fixed, so you can cool down your family and your home.

A freeze up is when a layer of ice forms on the outside of your air conditioning unit. It can look a bit disconcerting, but don’t panic. It’s fixable. Whether you have a central air system or a window unit, the causes and effects, as well as the solutions, are the same.
