Since 1982 Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc. has installed thousands of air handlers in Tempe’s varied neighborhoods, from colorful bungalows near Downtown Tempe to new builds around South Mountain Village. Homeowners trust our BBB A+ team because we remain locally owned, never private-equity driven.

With 150,000 happy customers, we have the tools and track record to keep your system efficient and your family comfortable.
An air handler is the heart of your cooling system, circulating conditioned air through every register in your house. When the blower motor or coil has failed, simply swapping parts often costs more in the long run than installing a new, high-efficiency unit. Our Tempe crew handles the entire replacement process:
Because the air handler touches every room, we often pair installation with a preventive AC maintenance agreement or advise on indoor air quality upgrades such as HEPA filtration. The result is quieter operation, lower energy bills and balanced airflow, even during 110°F afternoons in Papago Park or McClintock neighborhoods.
Worried about downtime? Most air handler installations are finished in one visit. We carry trusted OEM equipment, honor manufacturer warranties and back our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If a concern arises after we leave, a certified technician will return promptly at no extra cost.
Booking your AC handler installation should be as comfortable as the cool air you expect afterward. Call our live Tempe dispatch line between 6 AM and 6 PM and speak with a local coordinator—never a national call center. Because our shop sits just 0.4 miles west of Tempe Beach Park, technicians can reach most Valley Metro neighborhoods in 30 minutes or less.
We arrive at the promised time, present a clear, line-item estimate and review rebate or financing options before any work begins. No mystery fees for evenings, weekends or holidays—just the fair pricing that earned us the nickname “The Logical Choice.” Every installation is backed by manufacturer warranties plus our own workmanship guarantee. Should you need future service, your project details stay in our digital archive for quick reference, whether you call for a seasonal AC tune-up or full HVAC upgrade.

For most single-zone systems our team completes removal, setup, duct sealing and testing in about four to six hours. Because we pre-measure and preload equipment on the truck, there is minimal downtime. Larger homes or projects involving electrical panel upgrades can take a full day, but we will outline the timeline before any work begins so you know exactly when cool air will start flowing again today.
Yes. Modern variable-speed blowers run longer, slower cycles that allow your evaporator coil to remove more moisture with each pass. Combined with properly sized refrigerant lines and sealed ducts, homeowners typically notice the sticky feeling drop within the first day. If excessive humidity remains, we can add a whole-home dehumidifier during installation for even tighter control, keeping comfort levels steady without cranking the thermostat lower on scorching August afternoons too.
Matching age and efficiency levels between your indoor air handler and outdoor condenser maximizes performance and warranty coverage. However, if your condenser is newer, correctly sized and uses the same refrigerant, we can often connect the new handler without issue. We will measure static pressure and inspect coil condition during the estimate to help you weigh cost versus benefit and make an informed, budget-friendly decision for your Tempe home today.
Manufacturers typically require at least one documented professional tune-up per year. Our Comfort Club plan includes coil cleaning, filter replacement, electrical inspection and refrigerant check, all performed according to ACCA guidelines. We upload digital records directly to your equipment file, satisfying warranty terms and catching small issues before they become costly. You will also receive priority scheduling and discounts on any parts your system may need throughout the year period.
Yes. SRP and APS frequently offer cash incentives for installing ENERGY STAR rated equipment, and we stay updated on current programs. Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc. will complete the paperwork and submit the rebate on your behalf. We also partner with trusted lenders to provide low-interest financing with flexible terms, allowing you to spread payments over time and start enjoying lower energy bills and improved comfort immediately after installation is done.
