An AC replacement in Arizona is a five figure decision you will live with for fifteen years, through roughly 45,000 hours of desert runtime. The equipment brand matters less than most people think; the sizing, the installation quality, and the company behind it matter far more. These ten questions surface all three.
About the Sizing
- One: Will you perform a load calculation on my house? The right answer involves measuring your home, not reading the old unit’s label. Oversized systems short cycle and dehumidify poorly forever.
- Two: What will you do about my ducts? A new system on leaky ducts throws away the efficiency you just bought. Sealing should at least be evaluated.
- Three: Heat pump or AC with furnace, and why for my house? There is a right answer for your setup; see our comparison and expect the contractor to reason, not recite.
About the Money
- Four: What efficiency tier pays off at my runtime? The honest math is in our SEER guide; beware anyone selling the top tier to every house.
- Five: Is the quote itemized? Equipment, labor, permits, disposal, any duct or electrical work, all visible.
- Six: What financing exists? Reasonable monthly payments through partners like GoodLeap beat draining savings in the hottest month.
- Seven: What do the warranties actually cover? Parts and labor are different warranties with different lengths. Get both in writing, and ask what registration steps keep them valid.
About the Company
- Eight: Are you licensed, bonded, and insured, and what is your ROC number? Ours are on every page of this site and on the van.
- Nine: Who services what you sell? The installer who answers their own phone in July is worth real money.
- Ten: What do your reviews say about installs specifically? Read the ones that mention sizing, cleanup, and follow up visits.
