AC Installation and Repair in Queen Creek Southeast, AZ

Air conditioning work in southeast Queen Creek

Queen Creek incorporated on September 5, 1989 and has been among the fastest growing communities in Arizona ever since. Before that it was farmland: the founding families came to the stretch of Sonoran Desert known as Rittenhouse in the early 1900s to grow cotton, corn and potatoes. The southeast side is where that transition is still visible, with newer subdivisions sitting next to larger agricultural parcels and custom homes on acre lots.

Why the newer housing is not automatically the easier job

Most of Queen Creek is recent construction, so the equipment is younger than almost anywhere else in the metro. The complication is size and layout rather than age. Two story homes with large west facing glazing, great rooms open to the second floor, and long duct runs out to bedrooms over the garage are all difficult to balance. A system sized to the plan rather than to the finished house will struggle in July no matter how new it is. On larger lots the outdoor unit is often placed well away from the house, which is worth mentioning when you call.

The load a Queen Creek system is actually carrying

The Phoenix area reaches 100 degrees on average from May 2 to October 5, about 156 days, and 110 degrees on average between June 11 and August 26, on roughly 7.22 inches of rain a year. Out on the agricultural edge of the valley there is more airborne dust than in the built up core, and dust is what loads filters and coats condenser coils. A coil that cannot reject heat raises head pressure and shortens compressor life, which is the most expensive failure on the system.

When to call us in Queen Creek

Call if the system will not start, if it runs without reaching setpoint, if airflow is weak at the far end of the house, if you hear grinding or repeated clicking at the outdoor unit, or if you see water or ice around either unit. We will connect you with a local contractor, including evenings and weekends at no additional charge.
