Larsen HVAC & Plumbing Expands Summer AC Service Availability

WEST JORDAN, UT - June 15, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

Larsen HVAC & Plumbing, a family-owned heating and cooling company headquartered at 6752 South Airport Road in West Jordan, Utah, has announced expanded availability for air conditioning service appointments this summer, citing a notable increase in homeowner requests for AC diagnostics, repairs, and system installations ahead of the region's peak heat season.

The company, which serves residential customers throughout Salt Lake County and surrounding communities, confirmed that its technicians are now scheduling same-day and next-day service windows for AC-related calls through the summer months, a move the business says is directly tied to rising seasonal demand along the Wasatch Front. Service coverage extends across West Jordan, South Jordan, Sandy, Taylorsville, West Valley City, Murray, Midvale, and Draper, with the company's Airport Road location placing it centrally within the communities it most frequently serves.

"Every summer, we see homeowners discover their air conditioner isn't performing when temperatures climb," said Shawn Larsen, owner of Larsen HVAC & Plumbing. "This year, we made a point of building out our scheduling capacity earlier in the season so families are not left waiting when they need service most."

Demand for residential air conditioning service in Utah has grown steadily in recent years, driven in part by hotter summers across the intermountain region and an aging stock of residential HVAC equipment installed during earlier home-building cycles. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, air conditioning accounts for a significant share of home energy use in western states during summer months, making system performance a practical concern for households managing utility costs.

Larsen HVAC & Plumbing reports that a significant portion of its summer calls involve systems that have not received routine maintenance, with worn components such as compressors, capacitors, and refrigerant lines cited among the most common causes of cooling failure. The company indicates that pre-season tune-ups remain the most effective way for homeowners to identify potential issues before they develop into larger repairs or full system failures.

"A lot of the repairs we handle in July and August were preventable," Shawn Larsen noted. "When a unit has not been checked in two or three years, it is much more likely to fail under heavy load. That is exactly the kind of situation we are trying to help homeowners avoid."

Beyond repairs, the company has also seen increased interest in AC installation and replacement. Shawn Larsen attributed this in part to a growing segment of homeowners choosing to invest in higher-efficiency systems, motivated by long-term energy savings and available utility rebate programs such as Rocky Mountain Power's Wattsmart Homes initiative and Enbridge Gas Utah's ThermWise program, both of which offer financial incentives for qualifying HVAC equipment upgrades in Utah.

Industry data from the Air Conditioning Contractors of America suggests that residential cooling systems typically have a service life of 15 to 20 years, and a large share of housing stock across Salt Lake County falls within or beyond that range. For homeowners in established West Jordan neighborhoods such as Copper Hills and the Jordan Landing area, as well as communities along the Bangerter Highway corridor, system age is increasingly becoming a factor in summer cooling reliability.

The company notes that when technicians assess an aging system, they evaluate not just whether the unit is currently running, but whether its efficiency and remaining capacity justify continued repair investment. Larsen HVAC & Plumbing's technicians hold EPA 608 Universal certification, as required by federal regulation for handling refrigerants used in residential cooling systems, and the company operates as a Rheem Pro Certified Partner, reflecting manufacturer-recognized installation standards. In cases where a system is nearing the end of its useful life, technicians provide homeowners with a clear comparison of repair costs against replacement options, including potential savings from modern high-efficiency equipment.

"We never pressure anyone into a replacement," Shawn Larsen said. "Our job is to give homeowners the full picture so they can make a decision that actually makes sense for their household and their budget. Sometimes a repair is the right call. Sometimes the numbers point clearly toward a new system."

Airflow efficiency is another area the company addresses as part of its summer service push. Restricted or poorly balanced airflow is among the more common contributors to uneven cooling in residential homes, particularly in multi-story properties or homes with older duct configurations in West Jordan and surrounding Salt Lake County communities. The company's technicians assess duct integrity and blower performance as part of broader system evaluations, identifying airflow limitations that may be reducing comfort even in systems that are otherwise functioning normally.

The connection between indoor air quality and a well-maintained cooling system is also a factor the company highlights in its pre-season outreach. Air conditioning systems play a direct role in managing indoor humidity levels, and units that are not operating at proper capacity can allow moisture buildup that affects comfort and air quality throughout a home. This is particularly relevant for Salt Lake County residents during periods of elevated outdoor air pollution, when the Salt Lake County Health Department Air Quality Bureau advises residents to limit outdoor exposure and rely on indoor environments for clean air. Larsen HVAC & Plumbing offers indoor air quality assessments alongside its AC services, helping homeowners understand how their cooling equipment interacts with the broader comfort environment inside their residence.

Founded in February 2017 by Shawn Larsen, who holds an EPA 608 Universal certification and an Associate's Degree in Applied Sciences from Salt Lake Community College, the company operates under a Utah Division of Professional Licensing specialty contractor license. All installations adhere to the 2021 Utah State Mechanical Code, and permit-required work is completed in accordance with the inspection process administered by the West Jordan Building and Safety Division.

The company is currently accepting appointments for AC inspections, repairs, and new installations for the summer season, with standard service hours from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and 24/7 emergency service availability for urgent cooling failures.
