"Great. They arrived and did all they said they would as quickly as possible (it was like a 4-6 hour job with HVAC turned off the entire time). It was a big expense on top of many other expenses and who likes paying out big sums of money for repairs? The angie's list coupon was honored and helped!"

"Definitely recommend. Very nice. Cursed unnecessarily, in a joking manner. They were very professional outside of the occasional swear word. Got the water heater replaced at a lower price than expected, so I was able to add another service. I would definitely recommend them."

"Barkley Heating and Air Conditioning did an outstanding job with the installation of our new American Standard HVAC system. We purchased the unit from them at a very competitive price and we could not have experienced any higher professional manner in which Logan Barkley and his associates (Aaron and Derrick) provided us. From the time of the assessment of our needs until the unit was installed the service was outstanding! They were very impressive from the beginning of the project until the completion. They were prompt, courteous, and very respective. If it were possible to give them a rating of above 5 Stars, I would have given that rating to them! Any future HVAC needs we have will be provided by this company. We highly recommend them for anyone needing an HVAC system."

Heating and Air Conditioning FAQs, answered by experts

You can air condition your Arizona room by extending your home’s existing HVAC system or adding a ductless mini-split system. Arizona rooms that have full windows rather than screens only are a better choice for air conditioning—screens will let the cold air out as fast as the air conditioner can make it. 

If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances. 

Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.

While Freon is mostly odorless, a Freon leak will produce a faint chloroform-like smell. Some people find that Freon's odor has a subtle sweetness to it. Some telltale signs of a Freon leak beyond odor include ice crystals on your evaporator coil, bubbling sounds, and hissing noises.  

Aside from needing HVAC repair, there are times when you may need to replace your unit. HVAC replacement costs $5,000 to $12,500. Here are some telltale signs that your HVAC unit is going bad:

  • Your unit is 10 years or older.

  • Your home is very humid.

  • The unit keeps cycling without producing cool air.

  • You need to repair the unit frequently.

Unfreezing an AC unit is not a DIY project unless the problem is a dirty air filter. Changing out an air filter is easy for homeowners, but otherwise, trying to repair ductwork, refill refrigerant, or replace a blower fan motor are tasks best left to the pros. Otherwise, you could cause further damage to your cooling system or even harm to yourself.
