Need whisper-quiet cooling in Tempe’s Mill Avenue District? Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc. delivers fast, precise ductless AC installation just 1.2 miles east of Downtown Tempe. Our technicians can be at your condo near Tempe Town Lake in under 10 minutes from our 820 W 1st St shop.

Because we are licensed ROC #056235, you can trust every connection is up to code.

A typical two-zone Mitsubishi or Daikin system installed by our licensed team averages between $7,500 and $10,000, including equipment, permits, electrical, and labor. Pricing varies based on line-set length, wall material, and whether a concrete condenser pad is required. We provide written quotes upfront, honor them for 30 days, and can combine SRP rebates with zero-interest financing to bring your net investment down even further without surprise change-orders or fees.
Yes. Modern inverter-driven mini-splits are engineered for high ambient conditions common in Maricopa County. They automatically ramp compressor speed to maintain capacity without short cycling, even at 118°F. We select models with enhanced vapor injection and oversized condensers to ensure reliable performance during extreme heat. Proper sizing, professional installation, and reflective line-set insulation further improve efficiency, keeping indoor temperatures steady while lowering energy consumption compared with older central air systems.
Most South Tempe HOAs require a simple architectural request outlining equipment dimensions and location. Our project coordinator prepares the documentation, manufacturer spec sheets, and site photos for you, accelerating approval. Because mini-split condensers are compact, quiet, and meet city noise ordinances, boards seldom object. We also offer attractive wall brackets and color-matched line-set covers that blend with stucco, preserving curb appeal while satisfying any aesthetic guidelines the HOA may enforce.
Every ductless unit includes a reusable electrostatic filter that should be rinsed monthly to prevent airflow restriction from desert dust. Twice a year, schedule professional maintenance where we deep-clean the indoor coils, flush condensate drains, inspect electrical connections, and verify refrigerant pressures. Signing up for our Comfort Club plan at azrs.com/service/ac-maintenance means automatic reminders, priority scheduling, and fifteen-percent discounts on any parts your system might eventually need through its lifetime.
In most condos we complete installation in six to eight hours, including mounting the indoor air handler, installing the outdoor condenser on a balcony bracket, running concealed line sets, evacuating and charging the system, and performing startup diagnostics. Because we pre-plan electrical circuits and secure HOA approvals beforehand, work begins promptly at 8 AM and you are enjoying cool, quiet air by late afternoon without overnight disruption or debris left behind.
