Question 1

How fast can you get here?

Accepted Answer

We schedule as quickly as we can and often have openings the same or next day in Surprise and the West Valley. Maintenance plan members go to the front of the line.

Question 2

What does a diagnostic cost?

Accepted Answer

$89 for a full system diagnostic, and we waive it entirely if you approve the repair. You'll see the repair price before we touch a single screw.

Question 3

Should I repair or replace my system?

Accepted Answer

Our rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than a third of a new system and the unit is past 12 years old, replacement usually wins. We'll show you both numbers and let you decide — we don't work on commission.

Question 4

How often should an Arizona system be serviced?

Accepted Answer

Twice a year. Our summers run equipment far harder than most of the country, and a spring tune-up is the single cheapest way to avoid an August breakdown.

Question 5

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

We don't currently offer financing, but we're looking into it.

Question 6

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Fully licensed, bonded and insured — ROC 367120. Every tech is background checked and drug tested.

Question 7

Do you charge extra for evenings or weekends?

Accepted Answer

Emergency calls outside Mon–Sat 8am–5pm may carry an after-hours rate. We tell you the price before we head out.

Question 8

What forms of payment do you take?

Accepted Answer

Cash, check and all major credit cards. Payment is due when the work is complete — we don't ask for deposits on repairs.

Question 9

How long should an AC system last in Arizona?

Accepted Answer

Twelve to fifteen years is realistic here, versus 15–20 in milder climates. Maintained systems land at the top of that range; neglected ones often fail around year 10.

Question 10

What SEER rating should I buy?

Accepted Answer

For most Valley homes, 15–17 SEER2 is the efficiency sweet spot. Above that, the payback period usually stretches past the equipment's life unless your bills are unusually high.

Question 11

Do you offer a warranty on repairs?

Accepted Answer

One year on parts and labor for repairs we perform. New installs carry the manufacturer's parts warranty — typically ten years once registered — plus our labor warranty.

Question 12

Can you service a home warranty claim?

Accepted Answer

We work directly for homeowners rather than home warranty companies, so you're not waiting on an adjuster. We're happy to provide documentation if you're filing a claim yourself.

Question 13

Will you tell me if I don't need the work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it happens often. Techs are paid hourly, not on commission, so there's no upside to selling you something you don't need.

Question 14

My system freezes up. What causes that?

Accepted Answer

Almost always restricted airflow (dirty filter, closed vents, dirty coil) or low refrigerant. Shut the system off, run the fan to thaw it, replace the filter, and if it refreezes it's a service call.

Question 15

Why are some rooms hotter than others?

Accepted Answer

Usually duct sizing, return-air starvation or leaky duct runs in a hot attic — not the equipment. We measure static pressure to find out before anyone talks about a new system.

Question 16

What temperature should I set in summer?

Accepted Answer

78–80°F while home is the efficient range, with a small setback while out. Setting it to 68° doesn't cool faster; it just runs the compressor longer than it can keep up with.
