Arizona

Air Conditioning in Arizona: what's different

Air Conditioning across Arizona depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 2–5). In hot-dry climates outdoor units run at very high temperatures, which is hard on capacitors, contactors and compressors. Dust and blowing sand clog condenser coils, and rooftop and attic equipment bakes in the sun.

In Arizona specifically: monsoon dust. Dust storms clog filters and outdoor coils. Roof-mounted equipment: Rooftop package units need roof curb sealing and safe access for service.

Arizona licenses contractors through the Registrar of Contractors (ROC). Check the ROC license and complaint history before hiring. Common systems in Arizona: Heat pumps, Rooftop package units, Evaporative coolers, Gas furnaces in the high country.

APS, SRP and Tucson Electric Power are the main electric utilities. Southwest Gas supplies natural gas in most metro areas.

FAQ

Air Conditioning questions in Arizona

Can I get air conditioning service anywhere in Arizona?+

Our contractor network covers many Arizona ZIP codes. Call with your ZIP code and we will tell you whether a licensed contractor serves your address.

How long do AC systems last in Phoenix?+

Often 10–15 years because of long run times in extreme heat.

Is an evaporative cooler enough in Arizona?+

On dry days yes, but during the monsoon humidity makes it far less effective, so many homes also have refrigerated AC.

How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?+

Age, refrigerant type and the failed part decide it. A newer system with a bad capacitor or fan motor is a repair. An older R-22 system with a failed compressor or leaking coil is usually a replacement.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?+

Common causes are a dirty filter or coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed outdoor fan or capacitor, or a frozen indoor coil. Turn the system off if you see ice and call for a diagnosis.
