What Avondale Customers Say

Professional, punctual, highly responsive and transparent pricing with clear communication. My motor blower went out during Labor Day weekend. I contacted a company that had serviced my unit in the past years, but they only had availability for the following week. At this point, my home was reaching the high 80s. I moved my family and continued to call other companies. Many wanted a deposit upfront with no set date, others had no availability and a few had poor customer service that discouraged me from moving forward with their business. I had lost hope and started to find a temporary solution like short-term stay with family. I came across Vertex Heating & Cooling and made one last call. A man with extreme professionalism answered and had me scheduled for first thing in the morning. I received a text and email shortly verifying the details of the appointment. The next day, I got a text when he was on his way. Juan arrived shortly after the text and quickly identified the problem. He told me exactly what the repair cost would be and got the motor blower replaced. After a few hours, we noticed our a/c wouldn’t drop to a certain temperature and I called them back. They said they could have Juan come back in about an hour and a half. Honestly, I didn’t think he would come back. 20 mins before the hour and a half was up, he called that he was on his way. Recently, I had another concern with my unit and I didn’t hesitate to call Vertex. I left a voicemail around noon and within 10-15 mins he called back. My wife spoke to him and we were scheduled for same-day appointment. I received the same high level of communication as the first time. Juan explained everything in a way I understood and answered all the questions I had. Juan is a man of integrity.

Avondale HVAC Questions Answered

Find the right HVAC contractor in Avondale. We connect you with licensed, insured professionals who deliver quality service—backed by real customer reviews.

How often should I change my air filter?

Every 1-3 months. Closer to 30 days if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area. A dirty filter makes your system work harder and die sooner. Set a phone reminder.

How do I know if I should repair or replace my system?

General rule: If the repair costs more than half what a new system costs, replace it. Also replace if your system is 15+ years old and breaking down often. We'll give you both options with real numbers - no pressure.

How often should I schedule maintenance?

Twice a year. AC tune-up in spring (March-May). Furnace tune-up in fall (Sept-Nov). Catches problems early and keeps your warranty valid.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, we have several financing packages and monthly payment plans available.

Should I get a two-stage AC for extreme desert heat?

Absolutely. Two-stage and variable-speed systems run longer at lower capacity, providing better comfort during 110°+ days. They also save 15-25% on cooling costs compared to single-stage units.

Is evaporative cooling a good alternative to AC in Arizona?

It depends. Evaporative (swamp) coolers work great when humidity is under 30%, using 75% less energy than AC. But during monsoon season (July-Sept), you'll want traditional AC as backup when humidity rises.

What SEER rating is best for desert climates?

Go for 18+ SEER if you can afford it. With 4-6 months of heavy AC usage, the energy savings add up fast. A 21 SEER system can cut cooling costs by 40% compared to a basic 14 SEER unit in Phoenix or Las Vegas.

How much does a new HVAC system cost in Avondale, Arizona?

A new HVAC system in Arizona typically ranges from $3,000 to $7,000, including both air conditioning and heating components for a split system setup. The exact cost depends on your home size, equipment preferences, and specific installation requirements. This pricing reflects the most common HVAC configuration used throughout the Arizona region.

What is the HVAC rebate available in Arizona?

Arizona's Efficiency Arizona program offers rebates for qualifying HVAC equipment installations, with a maximum of $14,000 in total rebate dollars per household. Eligibility is based on factors including household income and equipment specifications. Additionally, federal tax credits provide 30% of qualified expenses up to $3,200 annually for energy-efficient home improvements.

Do you need a permit to install HVAC equipment in Arizona?

Yes, HVAC installations typically require permits in Arizona as they involve mechanical work that affects your home's systems. Arizona building codes require permits for mechanical work including HVAC installations and service upgrades. You should contact your local building department to determine specific permit requirements for your project.

What are the minimum SEER requirements for new AC units in Arizona?

As of January 1, 2023, new air conditioners installed in Arizona must have a minimum SEER2 rating of 14.3. This updated efficiency standard helps reduce energy consumption in Arizona's demanding climate. Any contractor suggesting a lower-rated unit would not be following current code requirements.

How much do Avondale residents typically pay for electricity?

Avondale residents spend approximately $289 per month on electricity, paying about $0.17 per kWh according to EnergySage data. This rate is roughly 14% lower than the national average of $0.20/kWh. Over 25 years, residents can expect to pay around $115,600 for electricity costs.
