Air Conditioning Service in Tempe Since 1964
Our shop is at 1615 W. University Dr. in Tempe, a few minutes from Mitchell Park, Maple-Ash, the ASU campus and Warner Ranch — so a no-cool call in Tempe is a short drive, not a cross-valley dispatch. Same-day service is standard and we answer the phone around the clock in July.
Tempe housing stock runs from 1950s block homes with original ductwork to newer two-story builds and student rentals, and each one fails differently in 115-degree heat. We size and diagnose for the house in front of us: refrigerant charge under real load, static pressure through the ducts, and electrical draw on a compressor that has been running since April.
Licensed, bonded and insured under AZ ROC ROC172364 and ROC337415, with NATE-certified technicians on payroll and no subcontractors on your property.

A Great AC Still Needs Great Ducts
Half the comfort complaints we see in the Valley are not equipment failures at all — they are leaky, undersized, or disconnected duct runs bleeding cooled air into a 150-degree attic. We test the delivery system, not just the box outside.
