At Clark Heating & Cooling, we often focus on service calls, aka “fixing A/Cs,” simply because we live in one of the warmest climates in the United States. Air conditioners here in Phoenix really take a beating during the summer. However, we also install new climate control systems, and even do some remodeling projects. One of the types of remodeling projects we do most often are tenant improvements. Tenant improvements are performed when a
Have you ever wondered how we lift a heavy air conditioner onto the roof of a home or business? We use a crane! An A/C unit weighs between 700 to 800 pounds, and getting a unit on the roof would be impossible without a crane.
We Hire the Best Crane Service
We use a third party crane service, Smiley Crane, who is trusted Valley-wide for their safety record. The crane service comes equipped with

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.

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.

We recently replaced the AC unit at my Parents’ house. We had a great experience working with Clark Heating & Cooling. The installation exceeded my expectation. The process from quoting to installation was painless. They communicated with me every step of the way. You can’t find a better company to work with. Thanks for the great experience!
