Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc. sits 0.8 miles east of Downtown Tempe and reaches most neighborhoods within 15 minutes, restoring comfort fast.
Since 1982, Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc. has rescued more than 150 000 Valley homes from scorching temperatures. Our BBB A+ team is fully licensed, bonded and insured, never steered by private-equity quotas. Located near the Tempe Center for the Arts, we deliver same-day residential AC repair without extra evening or weekend fees. From McClintock High to the condos at Tempe Marketplace, our technicians arrive fast, diagnose accurately and fix it right the first time, making us “The Logical Choice” for reliable cooling.
When your air conditioner quits during a 110 °F afternoon, every minute counts. Our central shop on West 1st Street is less than 10 minutes from Kiwanis Park, Tempe Marketplace and the ASU campus, allowing our dispatchers to send help quickly. Each service van carries factory-approved parts to handle the failures we see most often in Tempe:
Before replacing any component, our EPA-certified technicians perform a thorough system check, explain your options and quote a flat price, no uncomfortable surprises. If a repair is not the economical path, we can discuss high-efficiency air conditioning installation or complete HVAC system replacement tailored to your home’s square footage. Either way, you receive the same courteous service that has earned 4-plus star reviews across Google and HomeAdvisor.
Emergency calls will always happen, yet most system failures start as small, inexpensive issues. Sign up for an annual AC maintenance plan and our team will visit every spring and fall to clean coils, flush the condensate line, inspect electrical components and verify refrigerant charge. The service takes about one hour and can be scheduled before work or after dinner, remember, we do not charge extra for evenings. Members also receive priority scheduling and a 10 percent discount on any future same-day AC repair. Our tune-ups routinely lower energy bills in South Tempe ranch homes and keep student apartments near ASU humming through finals week. By catching worn capacitors or loose fan belts early, you avoid surprise outages and stretch the lifespan of your cooling investment. Every visit is documented with photos, readings and a digital health report you can reference before selling your home or renewing your home-warranty coverage.

Our average response time within Tempe city limits is 60 minutes or less. Because our headquarters is at 820 West 1st Street, near Rio Salado Parkway, dispatchers can route the closest stocked van to your address immediately. Same-day appointments are available until 7 PM, and there is never an extra fee for evenings or weekends, so you get relief quickly without paying premium rates even during record-setting summer heatwaves in Tempe.
Most thermostat hiccups only mask a deeper issue such as a failed capacitor, low refrigerant or shorted control board. You can try replacing batteries and confirming the set temperature, but if the system still will not start, call us. Our technicians arrive with multimeters, refrigerant scales and smart diagnostic tools that pinpoint the root problem, preventing repeat breakdowns and saving money compared with guessing or repeated DIY resets at home.
We recommend a comprehensive tune-up every spring before temperatures climb above 90 °F. This visit verifies airflow, cleans coils and tests safety controls. Many customers pair it with a fall heating inspection to maintain warranty coverage. Regular maintenance not only reduces unexpected repair calls by up to 80 percent but can lower monthly energy bills, improve indoor air quality and extend equipment life by several additional Arizona summers without costly breakdowns later.
Yes. Through our partnership with local and national lenders, qualified homeowners may choose low-interest, zero-interest or deferred-payment plans on new equipment installs.

Our technicians are trained on all major residential brands, including Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Carrier, Rheem, York and American Standard. We follow factory-authorized procedures, use OEM parts when required and document each step digitally, so your existing manufacturer warranty or extended service agreement remains intact.
