Murray HVAC Pros runs a real 24/7 emergency cooling line - a Murray HVAC Pros tech answers the phone, dispatches a truck from our Murray shop, and gets your house cooling again the same day.

What Your Emergency AC Call Probably Looks Like
The most frequent emergency ac calls we get from Murray and the surrounding cities, with the typical Murray-area price range.
When AC Failure Is a Real Emergency
Call us same-day or after-hours for: complete no-cool when outdoor temperature is over 90°F, anyone in the home with a heat-sensitive medical condition (cardiovascular issues, MS, infants under 6 months, elderly residents), water actively flooding from the indoor unit, burning smell from any part of the system, or visible smoke.
For elderly residents and infants in particular: heat stress hits faster than most people expect. Indoor temperatures over 85°F sustained for 4+ hours are genuinely dangerous for at-risk residents. Don't wait for morning - call us, and in the meantime move the at-risk person to the coolest room in the house, run fans, draw the blinds, and stay hydrated. If anyone shows signs of heat exhaustion (dizziness, nausea, headache, rapid pulse), call 911.
For water flooding from the indoor unit: this is usually a clogged condensate drain line that overflowed the safety pan. Turn the AC off at the thermostat to stop the water generation, then call us. We'll clear the line and dry out the area - typical fix runs $120–$300.
Why Local Murray AC Service Matters in July
Murray HVAC Pros' emergency line goes to the same dispatchers and techs who run our day shifts. They live in Murray, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, and Millcreek. Drive time on a Saturday afternoon is minutes - and our trucks carry the most common Murray-area AC parts (capacitors, contactors, fan motors, common control board models) so we usually fix the issue on the first visit.
Compare that to the national AC chains: their “24/7 emergency line” routes to an answering service that takes your name. A tech might call back same-day. They might not. They're probably driving from Sandy or Lehi. They probably need to order parts. Three days later, you're still in a 95° house. We've done a lot of next-day calls cleaning up after exactly that situation.
Common Emergency Diagnoses
About 60% of emergency AC calls in Murray are a failed capacitor - the small electrical component inside the outdoor condenser that helps the compressor and fan start. Symptoms: outdoor unit humming but fan not spinning, AC trips the breaker, system cycles on/off rapidly. Fix is $150–$300 and you're cooling again in under an hour.
About 15% are failed contactors - the relay that switches power to the compressor. Symptoms: outdoor unit completely silent, no hum, no fan. Fix is $150–$350.
About 10% are failed fan motors. Symptoms: outdoor unit running but cooling is weak or warm, fan blade not spinning, unusual buzzing sound. Fix is $300–$700.
The remaining 15% are more involved - compressor failure, major refrigerant leaks, control board failures, electrical issues at the breaker panel. These get diagnosed first, then we walk you through your options before any work starts.

What Emergency AC Typically Costs in Utah
The ranges below are typical Utah and Salt Lake Valley prices - industry averages, not a quote. What you actually pay depends on your system's age, brand, parts, and what the contractor finds on-site. Always get the price in writing before any work starts.
Most Utah contractors roll the diagnostic fee into the repair invoice once you approve the work - ask before you book.
Four Steps, No Run-Around
Calling an HVAC contractor should be the easy part of having a broken furnace. Here's exactly what happens when you call Murray HVAC Pros.
Call or Request Online
Real Murray dispatcher picks up - no answering service, no menu trees. We log your issue and your address.
We Roll a Truck
Most Murray, Holladay, and Millcreek calls see a truck on the driveway inside 30 minutes during business hours.
Diagnose & Quote
Tech walks you through what's wrong, what the fix costs, and what the cost is to replace if it's close. Written estimate before any work starts.
Fix It Right
Most repairs done same-day with parts on the truck. Warranty on labor, manufacturer warranty on parts, follow-up call to make sure it's right.
What You Get When You Call Us
Six commitments we make to every Murray homeowner who picks up the phone.
Local Murray Crew, Not a Franchise
Our shop is on 900 East at 5400 South. Our techs live in Murray, Holladay, Millcreek, and Cottonwood Heights. You get the same crew every visit - not whoever the dispatch app pulled from three counties over.
Up-Front Pricing, In Writing
You see the number before we lift a wrench. No 'what we found' surprises after we've pulled the unit apart. If the diagnosis changes the price, we stop and call you first.
Altitude-Smart Installs
Murray is at 4,300 feet. Cottonwood Heights is closer to 4,800. Most furnaces ship from the factory tuned for sea-level air - at altitude, that means burning too hot and cracking heat exchangers years early. We derate every install with a combustion analyzer.
Real After-Hours Pickup
Call us at 2 AM in January when the furnace dies. A real Murray HVAC Pros tech picks up the phone - not an answering service that takes your name and hopes someone calls back.
One Crew, Heat & Cool, Every Season
We're a full HVAC contractor - not a furnace-only shop you have to replace in April. Same crew works your AC in July and your furnace in January, with parts on the truck for both.
Honest Repair-vs-Replace
Multiply the system's age by the repair quote. Over $5,000? We'll bring you a replacement quote too - and explain when the repair is actually the smarter call. No pressure either way.

Real Reviews from Real Homes
“Called at 9pm on a Saturday in January - furnace had died and the house was at 52. They actually picked up. Tech rolled up at 10:15, diagnosed a bad inducer motor, had the part on the truck. Heat was back on by midnight. Charged me the price they quoted on the phone.”
“Got three quotes for a new AC. The other two tried to sell me a 5-ton system on a 1,400 sq ft rambler - Murray HVAC Pros came out, did an actual load calc, said a 2.5-ton would be plenty and saved me almost $3,000. Install was clean, on time, and they walked me through the new thermostat before they left.”
“Used them for a furnace tune-up. The tech showed me a video of the cracked heat exchanger inside my 18-year-old unit. No high-pressure pitch - just facts and a written quote for replacement that wasn't due for two weeks. We got the install done and the new furnace is half as loud as the old one.”
