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

About a year after buying my house in Phoenix, we noticed water dripping from through the thermostat during a storm. (Yes, the thermostat!)
After determining where I thought the leak was, I ended up calling Dave. His guy Ivan came over to patch up the condensation drain pipe (I explained I was confident this was where the water was entering the house).
After spending a solid amount of time "going to town" patching up any possible leak on the roof, Ivan was ready to leave and had me sign the invoice. I asked if he had any concern about mold, since there had been a handful of heavy storms before we called Dave. By his own suggestion, he went up into the attic to inspect it. While we were up there, Ivan noticed daylight coming in through the seal of the AC unit to the roof. The unit wasn't sealed correctly or possibly had shifted since being installed. Ivan pointed out that was the actual source of the leak. (And wasn't easy to detect from on top of the roof.) He went back on the roof and reinforced the seal.
I was very satisfied because Ivan wasn't at all in a hurry to get the job done and get out of there. His top priority was clearly doing the job right, and it's because he had that thorough mindset that we were able to identify the source of the leak. We've had storms since then with no further issues.

Ivan was able to complete the repair at 1/3 the cost of our first HVAC company that was recommended by our home warranty people, and that's a different story...

CHC replaced my home AC system on 21Jun2024 (117F and muggy!). My old system was a high performing 19 yr old American Standard product where the compressor died of old age. My new system is same as my old system except a York product. It is a 5 ton split system with gas furnace / air blower / controller and evaporator heat exchanger, located in a central closet inside the house, and condenser heat exchanger / 3 phase compressor, located in a cabinet on the ground outside. It took two technicians Gabe, and Robert, 8 hrs to remove the previous equipment, install the new equipment, adjust controls/fluids and clean the jobsite. Everything but the house mounted control wires and refrigerant lines was replaced. The new system seems reliable and performs very well. The workspace in the central closet was very challenging requiring CHC to carefully plan and execute the disassembly/removal of the old equipment and assembly/installation of the new equipment. I was very pleased they completed all the work in one day at a price under $10k. There were no unexpected costs or changes and CHC disposed of all the old equipement and related trash. Robert and Gabe were very professional and surprisingly robust in the horrible heat. Job well done!

I scheduled a check-up for AC unit before the heat kicked in and couldn't be happier with the service we received. Dave really knows his stuff. He took the time to answer all of my questions. I felt like he was honest and the price was great. As a fellow small business owner, I understand the value of providing excellent customer service regardless of how skilled you are in the service you are providing. I will definitely be recommending Clark Heating & Cooling to anyone I know who needs HVAC service.
