Local conditions that affect your system
Inversions
During inversion season, better filtration and a tight duct system help keep indoor air cleaner.
Evaporative coolers
Swamp coolers are efficient in dry heat but need seasonal start-up, pad changes and winterizing.
Snow and venting
High-efficiency furnace intake and exhaust pipes must stay clear of snow to avoid lockouts.
Seasons and peak demand in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake summers regularly top 95°F with very low humidity, while winters bring snow, single-digit nights and inversion stretches that can last a week or more. Evaporative coolers handle dry heat well; central AC and heat pumps take over on the hottest and smokiest days. Fall is the time to check furnaces before inversion season.

Salt Lake City HVAC FAQ
What filter helps during Salt Lake inversions?
A MERV 11–13 media filter, if your system can handle the airflow, with the fan running more often during bad air days.
When should a swamp cooler be winterized?
Before the first freeze, typically in October. Drain the water line and pan and cover the vent to stop heat loss.
