If your AC is constantly breaking down, struggling to keep your space cool, or driving up energy bills, it might be time for a fresh start. Older units simply can’t keep up with the Phoenix heat, especially if they’re undersized or inefficient. A new AC installation gives you better comfort, lower energy use, and peace of mind that your system won’t quit on you when it’s needed most.
At APES HVAC and Plumbing, we provide expert air conditioning installation in Phoenix and surrounding areas. Whether you’re upgrading an old unit or installing a brand-new system, we help homeowners and business owners find the right solution for their space, budget, and comfort needs. From central air to ductless mini-splits and heat pumps, we make sure your new cooling system is built to last, and installed the right way the first time.
Swapping out your old air conditioner is more than a comfort upgrade, it’s an investment that pays off over time. Here’s why it makes a difference:
Lowers Energy Bills
Modern AC systems use less energy to keep your home cool. That means better efficiency and real savings every month.
Delivers Better Cooling
A properly sized and installed unit cools more evenly and quickly, so you’re not sweating it out during the hottest hours of the day.
Reduces Repairs
New systems come with warranties and updated components, so you’re not constantly dealing with breakdowns or part replacements.
Improves Air Quality
Advanced filtration and cleaner airflow help reduce allergens, dust, and humidity, making your indoor air feel fresher.
Boosts Home Value
If you’re planning to sell, a new AC system is a huge bonus for potential buyers and a major upgrade that adds to your home’s appeal.
Replacing or installing a cooling system doesn’t need to be complicated. Here’s how we make it straightforward from start to finish:
In-Home Consultation: We’ll visit your home or business, assess your current setup, take measurements, and help you explore system options that fit your space and cooling needs.
System Selection and Sizing: From high-efficiency central units to ductless options, we help you choose a system that’s properly sized and designed to keep your space comfortable without overworking.
Removal and Preparation: If you’re replacing an old system, we carefully remove the existing unit, make any necessary updates to ductwork, and prep the space for smooth installation.
Installation and Setup: Our team installs your new AC system with precision, handles all electrical and refrigerant work, and ensures the unit is level, sealed, and tested for full performance.
Final Testing and Walkthrough: We test your system thoroughly, check airflow, calibrate the thermostat, and walk you through how everything works before we leave.
Choosing the right team for your AC installation makes all the difference. At APES HVAC and Plumbing, we’re known for delivering fast, clean, and reliable service without the headaches. Here’s what makes us a trusted name across Phoenix:
All In-House Service
We handle everything ourselves, from removing the old unit to installing the new one, so there’s no bouncing between subcontractors or confusing schedules.
Tailored Recommendations
No two homes are exactly the same. We look at your square footage, insulation, ductwork, and layout to make sure your new system actually fits your home, not just the label.
Upfront Pricing

Punctual and Respectful
We show up when we say we will, keep the workspace clean, and treat your property like it’s our own. It’s just how we do business.
Not sure if a full replacement is the right move? Here are some signs that your current AC might be on its last legs:
Constant Repairs or Breakdowns: If your unit needs fixing more than once a year, those repair bills add up quickly, and it’s often cheaper to replace than keep patching.
Your System Is Over 10–15 Years Old: Older units tend to be less efficient, more prone to failure, and often use outdated refrigerants. A new model brings modern performance and peace of mind.
High Energy Bills: If your cooling costs keep rising but your usage hasn’t changed, your system could be working overtime just to keep up.
Hot and Cold Spots: Uneven cooling, weak airflow, or temperature swings from room to room can mean your unit is no longer delivering consistent performance.
Loud or Strange Noises: Rattling, humming, or grinding sounds are all signs that internal parts are wearing out, or worse, that your compressor is failing.
Keeping your air conditioner in great shape doesn’t take a ton of effort, it just takes consistency. Here are a few simple tips to help you avoid surprise breakdowns and get the most out of your system year-round:
Change Your Filters Regularly
A clogged filter makes your AC work harder than it should. Swapping it out every 1–3 months improves airflow, boosts efficiency, and helps keep your indoor air cleaner.
Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clear
Make sure your condenser unit has at least 2–3 feet of space around it. Trim back bushes, remove leaves, and rinse it off gently with a hose now and then.
Check Your Thermostat Settings
A programmable or smart thermostat can save energy and keep your home consistently comfortable. Double-check settings every season to make sure everything’s running the way you want.
Listen for Strange Sounds
Grinding, buzzing, or clicking noises can be early warning signs of trouble. Don’t ignore them, catching an issue early could prevent a costly repair.
Schedule Professional Tune-Ups
Even if everything seems fine, yearly maintenance helps spot wear and tear before it turns into a full system failure. Our pros clean, inspect, and fine-tune every component for maximum performance.
Seal Drafts and Insulate
Proper insulation and sealed windows keep cool air in and hot air out. That means your AC doesn’t have to work overtime, saving you money and wear on your system.
