The right size beats the bigger one.
An oversized system cools the house fast, shuts off, and leaves it clammy and the bill high. We measure before we quote.
What a real quote includes
- A Manual J load calculation, room by room, using your windows, insulation and orientation.
- A duct check: static pressure and visible leaks. Most Mesa duct systems leak into the attic.
- Two or three equipment options, with the efficiency, noise and price of each.
- Permit, new pad or curb, new thermostat, haul-away and a written labor warranty.
SEER2, EER2, and why EER2 matters here
SEER2 is the efficiency rating everyone quotes. It’s an average across a range of outdoor temperatures. EER2 is the efficiency at a single hot condition, 95 degrees outside. Arizona is in the federal Southwest region, which sets a minimum EER2 for central air conditioners because so many hours here are hot hours. On a 115-degree afternoon, EER2 tells you more about your bill than SEER2 does.
Rebates and credits
The federal 25C energy-efficiency tax credit for heat pumps ended on December 31, 2025. SRP and APS have offered rebates on qualifying heat pumps; check the current program with your utility before you buy. We’ll fill in the paperwork.

Asked about replacing.
Are R-410A systems still allowed?
New systems are now built with lower-impact refrigerants like R-454B or R-32. The EPA removed the installation deadline for R-410A equipment made before 2025, so you may still see leftover stock offered. We’ll tell you which refrigerant every option uses and why it matters for future repairs.
How long does an AC last in Arizona?
Usually 12 to 15 years. Heat, dust and long run times wear systems faster here than in milder climates.
