There is never a hidden surcharge for Saturday or Sunday visits. Our price book is identical seven days a week because we believe fairness builds long-term relationships. You will get a written estimate before work starts, and we honor that number even if the repair takes longer than expected. The only change in cost would be if you approve additional services, such as an optional coil cleaning or thermostat upgrade.
Because our dispatch center is less than two miles from ASU, we typically arrive within 30 minutes for campus-area calls, even on Sundays. Traffic data from Loop 202 and Rural Road helps us route the closest van automatically. If an unexpected delay arises, you will receive real-time GPS updates on your phone so you can plan accordingly. Speed and transparency are core parts of our weekend service promise to you.
Our vans carry over 400 OEM components including capacitors, contactors, blower motors, fan blades, condensate pumps, universal relays, control boards and refrigerant in both R-410A and R-22 alternatives. We also stock thermostats, fuses, high-pressure switches, Schrader cores and leak-sealant kits. By traveling with this mini-warehouse, we solve roughly 90 percent of breakdowns on the initial visit, saving you the discomfort and cost of return trips or temporary window units installations.
Absolutely. All weekend technicians are trained to perform heat-load calculations and can provide multiple equipment options on site. We partner with leading manufacturers and offer financing that can be approved online in minutes, even on Sundays. Once you choose a model, we can schedule installation for the next available day — sometimes the very next morning. Meanwhile, we will provide tips to minimize heat gain until the new unit arrives.
While R-22 is no longer manufactured, we still stock reclaimed refrigerant and compatible parts for many legacy systems. Our technician will inspect your unit and present the cost of repair versus the long-term savings of a modern R-410A system. If a minor fix keeps you cool through the season, we are happy to perform it. We never pressure customers into premature replacements — the decision remains completely yours to make.
