| - I've had AZ Dukes of Air maintain our 19 year old systems since we moved here almost a year ago. The units were working fine, though highly inefficient. Even though we are on their maintenance program, it was in the back of my mind all summer that the units were past their useful life and could die anytime, leaving us sweltering.
At the last tune up with Brian M., he advised the refrigerant in our old units was going to be increasingly harder to find and more expensive to replace/recharge. Though it is a sealed system, if a major component such as the compressor went out, this would get pricey quick. He also shared the Trane financing specials (though I didn't use those).
Called Robert Bowen a couple weeks later. His was the second bid we received; the first contemplated rebuilding our furnaces and replacing the AC units. Robert's bid was only $2,000 more and the SEER rating was at least two points better with the matched units.
Just over a week later, we had Manny, Freddie, Beto, Luis and Danny at our home, replacing both attic-mounted furnaces and the AC compressors. Great job, cleaned up well and they were done completely in about 6 hours total (!). The units are less than half as noisy - both the furnace and compressors, plus from the SRP records, they seem at least half as expensive to run.
Thanks all who helped us with this replacement. Highly recommend these guys to anyone needing HVAC service or replacement.
