Best A/C Replacement in Phoenix AZ

We are so glad that we went with PEP Solar. We talked with several other providers; one was completely unprepared and wasted our time. Not so with PEP.

Background:

We purchased the house in Dec 2011 and moved in Jan 2012. The house was built in 1992 and most of the dual pane windows had leaked and all had the typical bronze aluminum frames and were difficult to slide open. The AC was original, 20 years old, and the fan motor was leaking; multiple recommendations were to replace rather than repair. We had a lot of noise from the air handler inside the house. Whenever the AC or gas furnace kicked on, we had to turn up the TV. We couldn't live with this noise. These were all known issues when purchasing the house and we budgeted for repairs.

Having solar was only a wish list item at the time of the house purchase; we didn't know what a system would cost, maintenance required, whether to buy or lease, warranties, etc. PEP patiently answered our questions and we eventually decided to purchase rather than lease.

One of the unique products PEP offers is an AC (heat pump) with solar assist by Sedna Aire. This sealed the deal. Yes, this is an expensive AC system but with the tax rebate, it was a reasonable additional cost over what a similar two-stage AC unit would have cost. Due to the efficiency of the AC, the size of the PV array could be reduced and still meet our energy saving goals.

From signed contract to commissioning was 1 month, outstanding!

We really like the features of the AC. When the air handler turns on, it slowly ramps up the speed; no sudden off-to-on transition. Most of the time it runs at half speed, providing pleasant air movement with minimal noise. The compressor (outdoor unit) is also very quiet compared to the old unit. It is located at a corner of the house where we have a covered patio. When out on the patio, the neighbors AC makes more noise than ours.

PEP was able to accurately factor in all of our planned improvements (AC replacement, new windows, LED bulbs) to design a 5 KW system that has met our electricity needs for the past year. The total APS payments for the 12 months since going solar was $340. I'm guessing this is close to what the summertime per-month cost would have been! This includes our heating cost as well; gas bill for hot water and range is less than $20 per month. We couldn't be more pleased.

Overall instal process went smoothly management kept fluid communication throughout process, highly recommended

Tom and Wattmasters did electrical work for the previous owners of our house, and came highly recommended by them. One of the jobs he’s done for us was to run power to our pool for a pool heat pump. It was July in AZ, the trenching machine they brought broke, but instead of just using that as an excuse...Tom and crew dug the trench themselves. In 100degree weather. Since then I have declared Tom the “hardest working man” I know.
Wattmasters installed our solar (and at way more affordable price than we were quoted by 2 solar companies), handled all the paperwork involved with the city, and continues to keep tabs on it making sure it’s always doing what’s it’s suppose to be doing.
I’ve recommended Wattmasters many times, and will continue to do so.

Mike is exceptional. Very knowledgeable and took care of my solar repair.

Semper Solaris is a breath of fresh air! We got bids from other solar companies before dealing with Dennis at Semper Solaris. Dennis gave us the best price and his communication throughout the process was above and beyond. Semper Solaris is an honest and trustworthy company that stands by their word. Not only that, we loved the fact that their panels are made in the USA and that they are a veteran owned and run company. Highly recommend!

They went so far above and beyond to help me over the phone -and did it purely to help. He didn’t even charge me! Thank the Lord for people and businesses like this that are still willing to help people!

They Installed an HVAC system in our home and sprayed some attic insulation. They installed two exterior outlets. George was courteous and professional. No complaints at all. Very satisfied with the work.

We did the Home Energy Performance program for our home, since our upper levels were getting almost unlivable during the summer months. turns out we only had five inches on insulation up there. They came out, sealed everything up and put in all-new insulation, and we now have a home that we can spend time in any room in absolute comfort. I would highly recommend that you take advantage of their energy audit and all their other programs to find out just how much comfortable your home could be as well.

Yes I chose to go with this company for solar, big mistake. Panels were installed in Oct and it is now April and I am still waiting for the panels to be turned on. They haven’t replaced my pavers nor have they rehung my gate after fixing my riser over a month ago. I’ve been waiting a cpl months for rebate checks for my solar payments that I’ve made even though my panels aren’t producing energy. They don’t respond to any of my emails. This company has made it a nightmare to going solar. I would not recommend this company at least not for solar services. I’ve asked them several times to just come take the panels back, I do not want solar anymore after this experience. The response I finally Dodd get from Jessie is “ they are your panels now” what kind of response is that? With no attempt to correct the issue. I’m so over and done with this company and solar. I strongly don’t recommend this company!!
