There are some very hot places in Utah, St. George comes to mind. I don't know if Orem fits into this category. There are many posts about upgrading the A/C. Count on about $1500 if you are willing to do the labor yourself. I would not bother trying to get your current system back up and running unless it has some of these upgraded parts already installed. At a minimum you will need to replace the hoses with a newer "barrier hose". The old hoses will leak about 1.5 pounds of refrigerant per year. The latest and greatest thing is parallel flow condensers. They are only for R134A systems and provide a 30% or so efficiency gain. Good Luck.
