Obsessed With The Perfect AC Install
Staying cool in Arizona means partnering with a crew that takes AC installations in Mesa, AZ, seriously. Cutting corners, moving too quickly, or simply not putting your all into an AC installation can leave homes and entire cooling systems vulnerable.
You need the best of the best for your AC install. Here’s a quick breakdown of how settling for anything but perfection can land you in hot water.
- Sloppy refrigerant charging: Your refrigerant needs to be at Goldielocks levels of just right for your AC to function properly. Incorrect charging can increase wear and tear on your compressor and harm cooling efficiency overall. We’re detail-obsessed and will always charge your AC perfectly.
- Flimsy ductwork: Your ducts are the roads through which all that treated air you’re paying for travels. If the connections to your existing ducts aren’t secure, or seals and leaks are ignored, you’re losing so much cool air throughout the day.
- Incorrect condenser placement: Where your outdoor unit is placed makes a huge difference in efficiency and proper cooling. If it’s installed too close to the side of the house or left without any type of shade throughout the day, it won’t function as well. We’ll always plan for proper clearance and set up support to help your condenser get through the hottest days successfully.
- Airflow problems: Your air conditioner is fine-tuned to pass a certain amount of air over its coils to keep your home comfortable. When that delicate balance is thrown off, your air conditioner’s efficiency will fall apart.
- Bad drain lines: Drawing moisture out of the air during more humid monsoon seasons requires proper drainage. If your drain lines aren’t sloped properly or struggle to remove water from the equation, the perfect environment for mold growth starts to come together.

When You Know It’s Time to Replace Your AC in Mesa
In Mesa’s heat, you’re likely to get, at most, about 10 to 15 years out of your AC. Watch for any of these signs that your AC’s near its end.
- It’s 12 or more years older. Just this alone can mean that it’ll run harder with much lower efficiency, meaning it’s only a matter of time.
- It still uses the old R-22 refrigerant. It’s not made anymore, so every recharge will be pricier and pricier. If you’re around Dobson Ranch or Mesa Grande, we run into a lot of homes with units still sporting R-22.
- You need repairs every summer. Repairs every now and then are normal. Repairs every time you use your AC are not.
- Your bills are increasing
- Some of the rooms in your house never seem to cool down
How We Size an AC to Your Home
Bigger isn’t always better. A unit that’s too big for your home, (while you might think it’ll pack more of a punch), will actually cool fast, then shut off. Meanwhile, it didn’t pull the humidity out of the air. On the flipside, a unit that’s too small won’t be able to cool your space, and it’ll be cranking hard through the day trying to make sure the whole space is covered.
The Alaskan team does what’s called a load calculation. It looks at the square footage of your home, how many rooms you have, window size/direction, and even how much sun hits your home & roof. Not every house is the same in Mesa, and homes even one street over need much different load calculations.
Financing and Rebates for Your New AC
A new AC is a big commitment, we know, and a lot of our customers end up needing one when they didn’t plan for it. The Alaskan crew makes it easier by offering you flexible financing options where we offer monthly payments that make this big investment a little easier to deal with. We don’t want you to forgo comfort!
We can also go over any current rebates with SRP or City of Mesa Electric when you get a quote. Plus, a seasonal tune-up with AC maintenance from Alaskan is a great way to head off problems before they morph into something worse, and keeps your AC’s warranty in good standing. Manufacturers will often require you to have regular inspections to keep your warranty. While we’re there, if there are problems with your ductwork, we offer ductwork services to make the whole house run well.
Obsessed With Ducts
We fabricate air ducts to fit your house. That means fewer joints and connections where air can leak out. But our obsession doesn’t stop there. We get INSIDE the ducts and Aeroseal them from the unit to all your rooms.
Aeroseal is another layer of protection that prevents you from cooling or heating your attic for no reason. It’s an extra step that makes your system run more efficiently, which saves you money and makes the whole thing last longer!
We think a lot about the stuff you never see. Reach out for AC installations in Mesa, AZ, and we’ll get installing!
Frequently Asked Questions About
What SEER rating should I look for in Arizona?
The minimum SEER rating your AC must meet to function properly in Arizona is 15. However, taking it a step further by looking for a higher rating, like 16+, can significantly improve energy efficiency. Going for a higher SEER rating for your AC installation in Mesa, AZ, may be a larger upfront investment, but you’ll recoup the difference easily over time.
Do I need a smart thermostat for my new AC?
A smart thermostat definitely isn’t a requirement, but they’re extremely helpful if you’re looking to save as much energy as possible. They come with customizable cooling routines that can help you raise temperatures when you’re out, drastically cutting down on energy usage while still maintaining a thoroughly cooled home.
Can a new AC be installed in a single day?
You better believe it. At Alaskan, we pride ourselves on getting your new AC installation in Mesa, AZ, completed in a single day. We come prepared with all the tech and training necessary to have your air conditioner up and running as soon as possible, no long waits or multi-day appointments necessary.
How much does brand matter when picking a new AC?
Believe it or not, brand doesn’t make much of a difference when it comes to choosing the perfect air conditioner for your home. What really matters is getting something that’s the right size. Getting a professional installation backed by a strong warranty, with an AC that meets your home’s cooling needs, is what matters most.
