Most installations finish the same day. Our crew arrives at 7 AM, removes the old unit, sets the new condenser, installs the air handler, reconnects refrigerant lines, tests airflow, charges refrigerant and programs your thermostat. A typical 3-ton system in Tempe averages six to eight hours, barring ductwork surprises. You sleep in cool comfort that night without paying extra evening fees, because we bring factory-stocked parts, delays are almost never experienced.
Yes. Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc. schedules Saturday and Sunday installs at no additional labor charge. Simply call before 5 PM Friday, and we’ll secure the equipment and paperwork so our technicians arrive with your new system first thing the next morning. Because we stock popular Rheem, Trane and Carrier models locally, you won’t wait for shipping. Same dependable workmanship, same warranties, just faster relief from triple-digit heat even in holiday periods.
SRP currently offers $200–$800 rebates for qualifying 16-SEER2 and higher heat-pump systems, plus a $75 smart-thermostat bonus. Our team files all paperwork electronically the same day we install, ensuring you receive your check or bill credit within four weeks. Pair that with potential federal tax credits up to $2,000 and many clients recover a significant portion of their investment while saving up to 30 percent on monthly energy costs every year.
A properly sized variable-speed system reduces humidity and runs longer low-speed cycles, filtering more particulates than your current single-stage unit. During installation, we perform complimentary duct leakage testing and can quote air-duct sealing or air purifier installation. Addressing leaks plus better filtration often drops dust levels, pollen intrusion and musty odors dramatically, so allergy sufferers notice clearer breathing within days without increasing utility bills thanks to higher-efficiency compressor technology employed.
Our 44-year track record, non-private equity ownership and 150,000 satisfied customers mean stable pricing and no shareholder shortcuts. Technicians average 12 years experience and receive ongoing factory training. We pull city permits, register manufacturer warranties and include first-year AC maintenance at no cost. Evening, weekend and holiday availability with no surcharge seals the deal, making us Tempe’s proven, long-term partner rather than a fly-by-night coupon outfit you can rely on always.
