When it comes to tenant build-outs, getting the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system just right is essential for creating a comfortable and functional space. Whether you're setting up a new office, restaurant, retail shop, or even a gymnastics studio, proper HVAC work can make all the difference.
Let's break it down a bit. First, ductwork is a key component of any HVAC system. These are the metal or fiberglass channels that distribute conditioned
When it comes to maintaining comfort in flat-roof homes in Phoenix, proper ductwork installation is crucial, especially given the strict regulations set by homeowners' associations (HOAs). We are often tasked with navigating these guidelines while still ensuring efficient airflow and temperature control.
One of the primary challenges with flat-roof homes is the visibility of ductwork. Many HOAs enforce strict rules about the aesthetics of exterior modifications, often prohibiting exposed ductwork. To comply, we have a
It's no secret that Phoenix experiences severe weather in the summer, and your HVAC unit has to work hard to keep up. To make it easier on your unit, we offer whole-house re-ducting. This is where the home is evaluated for any air flow issues or "hot spots," such as that one room you have which never seems to cool down. Also, the ductwork is evaluated to ensure proper sizing, installation, and efficiency of the
It's no secret the Phoenix area experiences severe weather in summer, and your HVAC unit might have to really labor to keep your home cool. One solution to make it easier on your unit is to conduct a whole-house performance evaluation and determine if reducting is warranted.

Have you heard the news? The refrigerant R-22 is banned, as of 2020!What does this mean for you?Will you need a new AC unit in 2020?
Yes, it is true, the refrigerant R-22 will no longer be allowed to be produced, as of the year 2020.The EPA has determined R-22, which contains chlorine, is detrimental to the ozone layer in our atmosphere.They have mandated a chlorine-free replacement, by the name of R-410A, be used instead.
Great question, because there are a lot of different types of filters out there. The right one for your A/C unit will depend on a few different things:
1. Budget (be careful here, low budget air filters may cost you in the long run) 2. Environment, type of A/C unit 3. Filter size 4. Level of filtration required.
By now, I think everyone has heard of Pinterest! This electronic pinboard site is incredibly popular and full of creative ideas, ranging from the latest cookie dough recipes (my favorite) to methods on how to upcycle your old toilet paper rolls (my LEAST favorite-nothing says classy like a toilet paper roll wreath on the front door). With all the ideas out there, of course people have pinned tips regarding A/C units. We will look

Approximately 3 weeks ago, I had a Heating/Air Conditioning tech come to my residence to conduct the annual inspection of my AC systems before the summer heat arrived. He was from a supposed well regarded Phoenix company with good reviews. It went down hill after that.
When completed, the tech reported that he would replace 4 of my electric motor run capacitors to the tune of $655.00. He also said that the R-22 refrigerant in my 5 ton main floor AC unit was low on refrigerant and that the unit was 'not cooling'. And finally, he stated that both of the ceiling mounted air filters were dirty.
Here's the rub.
Replacing a capacitor, though you should know what your doing to prevent being shocked, is not rocket science. Though I didn't really believe my capacitors were failing, I'm one who believes in preventative maintenance. So I replaced them myself with high quality Made in America capacitors for $130.00. It takes about 5 minutes each to replace them. Not $655.00.
The tech didn't know that two days before he arrived, I had replaced both my air filters with brand new clean ones. They weren't dirty though it would help if he opened the air handler door to check them in the first place.
Finally, the R-22 refrigerant.
R-22 is being phased out by the EPA for supposed damage to our atmosphere. This tech said that he would replace both of my AC units to the tune of just under $13,000.00 and that if I ordered them "today", he would not charge me to top of my supposedly low R-22. I said the one 5 ton unit was only 4 years old. I said no.
I then contracted with another Phoenix HVAC company, "Clark Heating and Cooling".
Dave, the owner, was professional, customer service orientated and above all, runs an "honest" company. He has to be, his name is on the side of his service trucks.
The tech who arrived from Clark HVAC, Eric , was on time and a knowledgeable and courteous HVAC tech. I told him that I was having doubts believing the R-22 refrigerant in the big 5 ton unit was low and as the previous tech stated "the one AC isnt' cooling". Which is a strange assumption since it was COLD in this home when he arrived. 2 + 2 isn't 5.
The Clark Heating and Cooling tech quickly inspected the 5 ton AC in both the air handler unit in the attic and the condenser and reported that this AC unit was working "perfectly" and was not low on R-22 refrigerant nor was there anything else wrong with it. Running perfectly. I realize this is a wordy review, but when you find an HONEST contractor, you should award him with praise and your continued business and let people know about this small, professional and most of all, honest contractor. I HIGHLY recommend "Clark Heating and Cooling" and Dave Clark and his staff, Ivan and Eric for all of your HVAC needs.
