Expert Air Conditioning Services in Phoenix
When Phoenix temperatures rise, your air conditioner becomes a critical component in maintaining a cool and comfortable home. To ensure your system operates efficiently and reliably, especially during the peak of summer, regular maintenance is key. A well-maintained AC unit not only performs better but also helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and extends the lifespan of your system.
Beyond routine maintenance, there are times when repair or replacement may be necessary to keep your home comfortable. Whether it’s addressing minor issues before they escalate, replacing outdated or inefficient units, or simply ensuring your system is in top shape, a proactive approach can save you from discomfort and costly surprises.
By staying informed and prioritizing the care of your air conditioning system, you can enjoy consistent performance and peace of mind year-round.
The four main components to your air conditioner are:
Condenser
Compressor
Evaporator
Expansion Valve
All of these pieces are connected by a copper tube that handles refrigerant, creating a closed loop. Heat is collected in the evaporator, sent outside to the condenser. The heat is removed, and the cool air is recirculated back into your home.

Air Conditioning Facts
An air conditioner doesn’t create cool air.
What happens in the AC process is actually the removal of heat from the air. Your AC uses a chemical called refrigerant to remove heat and transfer it outside. The warm air runs through the lines and coils in your unit and goes from liquid to gas and back again. During this process, the refrigerant removes the heat and transfers it elsewhere so that when the air comes out the other side, it is cool.
Your AC will remove humidity.
Lower humidity helps the overall comfort level in your home by making you feel cooler, even if the temperature is the same.
Your air filter needs to be checked and replaced every three to six months (depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations).
A dirty air filter restricts your air flow, which reduces efficiency, costing you money, and over time can put stress on your unit and could cause a costly repair.
Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance.
Your air conditioner needs regular checkups to keep it running in tip-top shape. Having regular annual preventative maintenance will bring your system longer life and fewer breakdowns over all.
SEER
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures air conditioning and heat pump cooling efficiency, which is calculated by the cooling output for a typical cooling season divided by the total electric energy input during the same time frame. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency.
