Most projects finish in one working day. We begin around 8 a.m., remove the old system, set the pad, run lines, pressure-test, evacuate, charge, wire the thermostat, and balance airflow. By 5 p.m., cool air is flowing and our crew reviews maintenance steps with you. Larger homes needing duct modifications can run into a second morning, but 90 percent of Tempe installations wrap up before dinner, saving your family from overnight heat.
Square footage is only one factor. We also evaluate ceiling height, window orientation, insulation, shade trees, and occupancy. Most 1,800-square-foot Tempe homes land between 2.5 and 3.5 tons, but our Manual J calculation determines exact capacity so you avoid short cycling or inadequate cooling. After measurement, we present at least two SEER2-rated options and explain how each impacts monthly bills and rebate eligibility while protecting overall system longevity and comfort.
Absolutely. Our scheduling team offers Saturday and Sunday installations at no additional charge, ideal for Tempe professionals with demanding travel calendars. Because many flights leave early, we can arrive at 7 a.m., complete work, and perform final walkthroughs before you unpack your luggage. Weekend city inspectors are limited, so we pre-arrange any required permit sign-offs the following Monday, ensuring your warranty and code compliance remain intact for total peace of mind.
In many cases we do, because R-410a operates at higher pressures than R-22 and requires different oil compatibility. During our inspection we pressure-test your current line set, check wall thickness, and inspect for acid buildup. If lines are less than ten years old and properly sized, we may flush and reuse them to save costs. Otherwise, we run new insulated copper to guarantee efficiency, longevity, and warranty compliance for homeowners.
We recommend your initial tune-up approximately six months after installation, ideally before the next cooling season begins. This timing allows filters to collect enough debris for evaluation while components are still under full labor warranty. Our https://azrs.com/service/ac-maintenance plan includes coil cleaning, refrigerant check, and thermostat calibration that satisfy manufacturer documentation requirements. Consistent service keeps SEER2 ratings intact, safeguards parts coverage, and can cut energy costs by up to fifteen percent.
