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.
This is where the home is evaluated for any airflow issues or "hot spots," such as that one room you have that never seems to cool down. During
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
It's winter in Phoenix! Finally, the daytime temperatures are reasonable, and you can wear boots and jackets at night! This also means you might be thinking about turning on your heater in the early morning or at night, just to take the chill off. Is there anything you need to do before turning it on?
Heat It UP!
Not really! Go ahead and change the setting on your thermostat to "heat," and wait for
Thanks to technology, it is possible to monitor your home's climate control system right from your smartphone! There are several climate control apps which can be linked to your home's thermostat, allowing for easy, remote access to the thermostat. These apps make it possible to lower the air conditioner's temperature when you start your evening commute, meaning you can walk into an already-cooled home. Or, if you are lying in bed on a winter's evening
There are many different types of air filters available on the market. In fact, air filters seem to be sold everywhere-even drug stores sell them! How can you know if you are choosing the right type? We would like to give a quick explanation of a few types of air filters, and let you know which one we prefer.
First of all, it is worth noting that air filters play an important role in how
Happy Fall! Even though the almanac says the seasons have changed, it doesn't always feel that way in Phoenix! When the midday temperatures still reach over ninety degrees, but the mornings and evenings are cooler, how does this impact your air conditioner? When is a good time to start preparing your heater for winter?

EXCEPTIONAL company and service! I had two other a/c companies come to my home for estimates, and Clark Heating and Cooling beat the estimates by more than $3000. Dave was easy to work with from the minute I met him and the company exudes integrity and caring. The 2 technicians who installed my York unit explained everything about the process and were meticulous in their level of detail. I’m referring Clark Heating & Cooling to all of my coworkers and friends!

We bought our house approx 11 yrs ago and had a brand new AC installed at that time. Over the last 11 years our 'new' AC was never really adequate in the brutal hot summer months here in PHX - the bedroom was really the only room that got cool enough to bearable when the heat got really bad. Things came to a head last year after being forced to work from home because of the pandemic, we finally had enough.
We heard about Clark Heating + Cooling and saw they had a lot of good reviews so we asked them to come out and give us an estimate for a new unit
Dave came out in July or August, looked everything over and suggested that we not only needed a new unit but completely new duct work and air handlers. The quote he gave us was very reasonable so we decided to go ahead and booked an install date for sometime in December
In December 2020, the guys showed up and installed the new system and ductwork over about 2.5 days. The old system was removed efficiently and quickly and the new unit was in place before we knew it. Everyone was extremely professional, friendly and courteous and when they finished the work they cleaned everything up perfectly.
Fast forward to April 2021 when I am writing this review. We started using the AC more frequently in early April and we are astounded by the difference between what we had and what we used to have. All rooms now have adequate cooling - the system is much better balanced and finely tuned. It is incredible. The true test will be in the summer when the temps are consistently hitting 115 or higher but we have every confidence all will be well based on what we have experienced so far
I don't want to leave without giving special mention to the first person we spoke to when we initally contacted Clark Heating and Cooling. Michelle was fantastic from our very first phone call and seemed to be very willing and happy to go above and beyond to make sure everything was well coordinated and ran smoothly as we moved forwards with the work - Thank you Michelle!
I can't say enough good things about our overall experience with Clark Heating and Cooling and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone

When it came time to build my agency's office there was only one Phoenix based HVAC team I trusted, Clark Heat and Cool. I'll always support local, but more importantly, support a company that passionately dedicates themselves to customer service. I love the spirit of aloha!

Wonderful, wonderful service. We have been working with Clark for a couple of years now. On their recommendation, we had a completely new system and duct work installed and it fixed the airflow issues that were preventing our old system from cooling the house. The house has now been transformed even on the hottest of hot days here in Phoenix. Last Friday Ivan came out to do our regular check up/maintenance for this summer. As always friendly, courteous and explains everything. Thank you to everyone from Clark. I cannot imagine working with any other HVAC company now.
