AC Repair Services Phoenix

Until recently you may have noticed lately one of the larger local AC companies using derogatory personal attack statements in their advertising against a real persons name.  These types of actions speaks very poorly of any company’s head and does nothing to promote integrity.

This a company (most have heard their advertisements) castigates the name ‘Melvin’ as some poor idiot, yet this very same company has AC vehicles running around Phoenix with “WE DO PLUMBING” (and AC) plastered all over them!

But WAIT! That’s not all…

Not long ago this same company strictly advertised AC Repair” as their main and only service but today advertises Plumbing as their main business and AC Service as the secondary (we also do) part of their business!  I guess one of the “Son’s” didn’t like the AC business much?

So in actuality, they are really a Plumbing company that also dabbles in AC and that means they send out Plumbers on your AC Service Calls!

The truth is, they haven’t been a real AC Company for some time.  But people still call them for HVAC Repair Services because of the flood of advertisements they employ designed to hypnotize the public to call them because well, their name is in your ear and face 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

What about Claims – NO EXTRA CHARGE for Nights, After Hours, Holidays and Overtime?
There are no extra charges because they charge Overtime Rates ALL THE TIME!

Companies like this come into your home and say they’re going to repair your AC, but because they’re actually plumbers masquerading as AC Repair Services technicians, they end up first looking at the unit, telling you it’s junk and trying to sell you a brand new system with all the bells and whistles.  Then if all else fails they’ll charge you into the poor house to half-repair your system.

Why Do They Do This?
There are several reasons but here are the main two:
1. PLUMBERS are not trained to fix anything as technical as Air Conditioning Systems so they’ll tell you they need parts and then send a different technician to fix your AC.

2. Selling new AC’s is how these companies buy their new service trucks with a base cost of upwards to $100k. It is also how they pay the millions in advertising to become a household name so you, your children and all of your neighbors will call their number first. It’s simply a marketing scheme and that’s all.

Why Can’t a Plumber Fix My AC?
A true Plumber is qualified in the specialized field of Sewer Repair, some can install sewer systems and water line plumbing. They are very qualified to do things like:
1. Clear clogged drains
2. Install & repair toilets, sinks etc.
3. Repair sewer pipes
4. Replace water heaters.
5. Install sewer pipe.

The number of AC Repair abilities is limited due to lack of training not because they can’t but because their interest lies elsewhere.  Everyone has their expertise and AC Repair is not one a plumber has nor is a AC specialist interested in household plumbing.

What about an electrician, can an electrician repair my AC?

Not really.  An Electrician is trained to run electrical wiring to, from and throughout a home or building which  include things like:

1. Lighting
2. Fans
3. Electric Stoves & Dryers
4. All types of appliances

They can even provide wiring circuits for a newly installed HVAC system but electricians are NOT trained to diagnose problems with Air Conditioning and Heating equipment.

They can Install pretty much anything that runs on electric but they can not start, check and or repair HVAC systems.

Why Are HVAC Specialist Different?

On one hand, AC and Heating Repair has more than one complicated electrical system.  There is a high voltage system and a low voltage system in pretty much every air conditioning that exists.  These high and low voltages incorporate the use of many electronic monitoring systems, sensors, timers relays that include safety factors that must be understood and adhered to, to be verified as safe to operate.

These systems are symmetrically interwoven, many with gas pressure systems that can become volatile causing safety concerns that include carbon dioxide, co2 poisoning and it takes a knowledgeable AC Repair company near you to accurately diagnose and circumvent any possible hazards that may either be happening or about to happen in your HVAC system and because electricians understanding’s of electric systems end where the plug enters the wall.

Some systems also have flammable gas used for heating; even some types of Freon itself can be flammable.  All of these systems must be properly understood, monitored and checked on a yearly basis to rule out possible serious problems that can develop over time; carbon monoxide gas leakage and other potentially hazardous conditions must be checked and ruled out.

Electrical systems must also be checked in several ways i.e., high voltage connections that may be heating up due to lose connections, electrical safety switches and pressure controls need to be checked to make sure they are not only in proper working order but also that someone in the past hasn’t bypassed one of these important controls ‘to get you going’ only to forget to come back and put those connections back together again.   We see these things all the time!

For instance, diagnostically reading Freon pressure gauges and determining whether the relationship between the high and low sides of a system are within correct ranges, or not, according enthalpy which must take into consideration a good amount of physics coupled with atmospheric temperature/pressure chart measurements.

At the same time comparing those relationships to outdoor and indoor ambient temperatures, coupled with sub-cooling, super-heat, relative humidity, static pressures, indoor and outdoor splits duct leaks, static duct pressures and we haven’t even mentioned anything electrical yet, the how’s, where’s, when’s and, why’s go on and on.  Plumbers do not do this.

Bottom line – there is a lot of complicated systems checks that need to be expertly performed on any air conditioner service and repair or Heating system before that system can be safely placed into use for a customer.

My friends, all things considered, comparing qualified AC Technicians to equally qualified Plumbers would be like comparing EMT’s to critical emergency room surgeons.  They’re both extremely important and their expertise somewhat overlap, but they each have a completely different skill set.

So Be smart! If you need a plumber then hire a plumber, but if you need an Air Conditioning Specialist why not choose a 40 yr 4th generation veteran owned Phoenix company like Sun State HVAC, and if not then look and search out a seasoned local AC and  Repair Air Conditioning Company preferably owned by Native Phoenicians like Sun State HVAC, who is hands down one of the Best and most knowledgeable AC Repair Services Specialists companies around.
