Air conditioning repair
Not cooling, blowing warm, frozen coil, tripping breaker, refrigerant leaks. Charge checked by superheat and subcooling, the way it's supposed to be done. Most St. George AC calls are fixed in one visit.
Yates HVAC Solutions is a one-truck heating and air conditioning shop based in St. George. Call or text and you're talking to me, Greyson, the owner and the technician. No dispatcher, no sales rep, no second guy you've never met.
Owner-operated
Most HVAC companies in St. George route you through a call center, a dispatcher, and a comfort advisor before a tech ever sees your system. Here, that's all one person.
The person you call, the person who quotes the job, and the person who shows up are all the same guy. Nothing gets lost in a handoff, and you never have to explain the problem twice.
Nobody here gets paid to sell you a new system. If a $40 part fixes it, that's what I'll tell you, and that's what I'll charge you for.
No office lease, no fleet, no ad budget baked into your bill. You pay for the part and the time it takes to do it right.
Old part in your hand, a photo of the problem, and a plain explanation of what I did. You'll know exactly what you paid for.
Services
Central air, heat pumps, furnaces, thermostats, and the ductwork that connects them. Repair first. Replacement when it's the right call, and I'll show you the math.
Not cooling, blowing warm, frozen coil, tripping breaker, refrigerant leaks. Charge checked by superheat and subcooling, the way it's supposed to be done. Most St. George AC calls are fixed in one visit.
No heat, short-cycling, strange noises, ignition trouble, a heat pump stuck in defrost. I carry the common failure parts for both.
AC check in spring before the heat hits, furnace or heat pump check in fall. Capacitor, contactor, refrigerant charge, static pressure, condensate line, filter. You get the readings in writing.
Smart thermostat install and wiring, including older systems with no C-wire. I'll set it up and show you how to use it before I leave.
A real load calculation, equipment sized for your house, and a written quote. If your old unit still has years left, I'll tell you that too.
Rooms that never warm up, dust everywhere, a return that howls. A static pressure test finds the real cause. The fix is rarely a bigger blower.
Also: mini-splits for garages and casitas, swamp cooler startups and winterizing, water heaters, and odd jobs a bigger company won't send a truck for. If you're not sure it's an HVAC problem, text me a photo and ask.
How it works
Tell me what's happening. A photo of the unit and its data plate helps me show up with the right parts.
I'll ask a few questions, tell you what it's likely to be, roughly what that costs, and the soonest I can be there.
Me, my truck, and the common parts already on board. I'll call when I'm on my way, not a four-hour window.
You see the old part and get an itemized invoice that matches the quote. No pressure on anything else.
St. George, Utah
Summers here run past 100° for weeks at a time, and an air conditioner in St. George works harder than almost anywhere else in Utah. That's when capacitors, contactors, and condenser fan motors give out, usually on a Saturday in July. I keep the parts that fail here on the truck.
Winters are mild, so a lot of homes in Washington County run heat pumps instead of furnaces, and plenty still have a swamp cooler on the roof next to the AC. I work on all of it.
Somewhere else in Washington County? Text me the address and I'll tell you honestly whether it makes sense.

Straight answers
If the repair costs less than about a third of a replacement and the unit is under 12 years old, I'll usually say repair. Past 15 years here, with a compressor failing or a leaking coil, replace. Either way you get both numbers and the decision is yours.
Nine times out of ten it's a capacitor or a contactor, both small parts that cook in St. George heat. The condenser fan motor is next on the list. All three are on my truck, so that call is usually a same-visit fix.
Less than the brochure says. With the hours they run here, 12 to 15 years is typical for a well-maintained system. Keeping the outdoor coil clean and the charge correct is what gets you to the high end of that.
AC in April, before the first 100° day. Furnace or heat pump in October. A new filter every month in summer, since the dust here plugs them fast, and every two to three months the rest of the year. The filter alone prevents about half the frozen-coil calls I get.
About
I've spent ten years working on residential air conditioners, heat pumps, and furnaces, most of it for bigger outfits where the tech who diagnosed your system had a quota to hit. I started Yates HVAC Solutions to do it the way I'd want it done at my own house: one person, straight answers, and a bill that matches the quote.
I live in St. George, my truck is usually within half an hour of you, and I'd like to be your AC guy for a long time. That only works if you trust me, so I'd rather lose a sale than push one.
