From Maple-Ash bungalows to new condos near Tempe Marketplace, high-efficiency split HVAC systems deliver targeted cooling without bulky ductwork. Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc. installs Energy Star units sized for our 100 °F summers, giving you quieter operation, zoning options and up to 30% utility savings versus aging packaged units. Because we’re located on 1st Street, our technicians can survey your attic insulation, electrical panel and outdoor clearances the same day you call.

What to Expect From “The Logical Choice”

Choosing Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc., an independent Tempe HVAC company, has honed split-system craftsmanship since 1982. Here’s how we make installation logical rather than stressful:

  • Transparent sizing: We perform Manual J load calculations, review window orientation and recommend right-sized condenser and air handler combinations, never an oversell.
  • Fair pricing: Because we’re not private equity funded, our quotes match real parts and labor, with no weekend or evening up charges.
  • Certified installers: Every technician is background checked, ROC licensed and factory trained on ductless and traditional split equipment.
  • Rapid timelines: Living without AC is brutal. Our Tempe warehouse keeps common condensers and line sets in stock, enabling many same day replacements.
  • Full integration: We can add smart thermostats, upgrade insulation and test static pressure so your new system operates at peak SEER.

We service the entire East Valley, so if you’re reading from Chandler, Mesa or Gilbert, the same standards apply. More than 150,000 Arizona homeowners already trust our award winning work and BBB A+ rating, proof that doing things the logical way pays off in long term reliability.

Our Split Install Process

Detailed Home Load Assessment

We start with a Manual J calculation, attic inspection and infrared scan to uncover heat gain unique to your Tempe home. By measuring window orientation, insulation depth and duct leakage, we select the perfect-size split condenser and air handler, preventing short cycling, humidity issues and high bills. Homeowners along Rio Salado Parkway appreciate this data-driven clarity before spending a penny.

Seamless Same Day Installation

With permits secured, our licensed crew arrives in stocked trucks, removes the old unit, sets vibration-isolating pads and brazes new line-sets without mess. We pressure-test with nitrogen, evacuate to 500 microns and charge to factory spec, all before the Arizona sun hits its peak. Because our warehouse is minutes away, forgotten parts never delay jobs in Downtown Tempe or Kiwanis Park neighborhoods.

Comprehensive Post Install Check

After startup, we verify refrigerant subcool and superheat, record supply and return temps, and balance airflow at every register. A walkthrough teaches you filter changes, thermostat scheduling, and warranty registration. We also book your first discounted AC maintenance visit at azrs.com/service/ac-maintenance to safeguard the system. Homeowners near Tempe Marketplace leave confident that their split equipment runs efficiently and carries our 100 percent satisfaction promise.

What customers say

Our 1980s split finally died during July. Arizona Refrigeration replaced it the next morning, cleaned everything and showed thermostat tips. Electric bill dropped and our Maple-Ash house feels incredible again.

Lisa G

Living near ASU means noise travels. Their new split system is whisper quiet, and installation took only six hours. Fair price, honest crew and no upsell nonsense, highly recommended here.

Marcus T

Emergency AC failure on a Saturday night had us panicked. Tech arrived within an hour, patched unit, then installed a high efficiency split Monday. Impressive coordination and zero overtime fees.

Tempe Split System Installation FAQs

How long does a typical split system installation in an average Tempe three-bedroom home really take start to finish today

Most installations are completed in one workday. Our crew arrives at 7 AM, removes the old unit, sets the pad, runs lines, pressures tests, vacuums and completes startup by around 4 PM. Electrical inspections and final cleanup wrap by 5 PM. Homes needing electrical upgrades or attic duct adjustments may extend into a second day, but we provide temporary cooling to keep you comfortable during the process without any extra cost to you.

Will a new split AC system really lower my SRP or APS energy bills during Tempe’s triple-digit summer months significantly

Yes, modern split systems reach SEER2 ratings of 15–20+, often cutting cooling costs 20–40 percent compared to 10-year-old units. Features like variable-speed compressors, ECM blowers and smart thermostats adapt output to real-time demand, eliminating energy waste. We calculate projected savings for your specific address and help file SRP or APS rebates that further accelerate payback. Lower utility statements typically appear on the very next billing cycle after first month of operation.

Do you install both ductless mini-splits and traditional split systems, and how do I decide which design suits my property

We install and service ductless, ducted and hybrid split configurations. Ductless mini-splits excel in additions, garages or older homes lacking ductwork, providing room-by-room zoning. Traditional split systems tie into central ducts, ideal for larger footprints needing uniform distribution. During your consultation we evaluate insulation, room usage and budget, then model efficiency and installation cost for each option. You receive side-by-side numbers and our recommendation, but the final choice is yours.

What warranties and post-installation maintenance plans come with a split system installed by Arizona Refrigeration Service Inc. in Tempe today

Most equipment carries a 10-year parts warranty when registered within 60 days, paired with our two-year labor guarantee. Enroll in our affordable Preventive Maintenance Agreement and we extend labor coverage to five years while providing two precision tune-ups, priority scheduling and 10 percent repair discounts annually. These visits keep factory warranties intact and spot small issues before they become costly failures, maximizing comfort and system life in the Arizona climate year-round.

Can Arizona Refrigeration Service dispose of my old R-22 split system responsibly and help me claim available recycling incentives locally

Absolutely. Our technicians recover remaining refrigerant into certified cylinders, then transport the outdated equipment to an EPA-approved recycling facility. We provide a disposal certificate you can forward to SRP or city programs offering rebates for eco-friendly upgrades. Metal components are recycled, and hazardous oils are processed per federal guidelines, meaning nothing harmful reaches Tempe landfills. You gain peace of mind and potential cash back simply by choosing our licensed team.
