Well, with the return of ninety degree weather, we can pretty much bid farewell to our short winter season here in the Valley. It did get cold for about two weeks around Christmas, right? At least that was a nice festive touch. Here are a few of our favorite moments from this year's winter season:
Mild winters equal perfect days for new unit installations! This install was done on January 21, 2015. We would much
We would like to introduce our other employees today, Noelle Clark and Michael Bukarev, as well as the rest of our part-time team.

Today we would like to spotlight one of our favorite products for you! We are constantly checking out new technology in the air conditioning field, and we love to try each product to make sure it will work well for our customers. The aspect of air conditioning technology which seems to change the most often is thermostat design. It seems that every year, there is a new, “must-have” thermostat released. But how do you know
Did you ever wonder how Clark Heating & Cooling got its start? David Clark is the owner/operator of the company, and thanks to his hard work, his dream of starting his own air conditioning company became a reality a little over four years ago. Let’s get to know Dave!
Aloha!
Dave was born and raised on Maui, Hawaii. His family can trace their roots back to immigrants who came from China to work in
Happy Labor Day to everyone! Labor Day became a Federal Holiday in the 19th century, and we still celebrate today. We at Clark Heating & Cooling hope you are able to take a break from work and enjoy the day relaxing!
Things That Make Us Smile
We are grateful for our air conditioning jobs, and even when it’s hot and unpleasant outside, we usually find something to make us smile. Here are a few pictures
Of course we love air conditioning! How can we not, living in the Valley of the Sun? Air conditioning makes living here bearable, and obviously, it’s also our way of life. But we love the trade of air conditioning itself.
We Love Working Outdoors
We love working with our hands and we love the benefits of working outdoors. We are not desk people, but want to be out and about, wiring up units, connecting duct
This topic is always a great debate: Do you save more energy by turning the air conditioner completely off when you leave, or do you change it to a higher setting? We at Clark Heating & Cooling have experimented with both options, just to see the effect it would have on our electric bill.
The argument for turning the air conditioner off when you leave for work or vacation usually goes as follows: “Since no

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.

Amazing service! Dave came in and fixed the ac all up, he even told me things that would need to be replaced soon to prevent a summer break down. He wore slippers on his shoes to protect my floors when he came in from the outside. Very good company, would reccomend them to friends and family.
