Heating Contractors based in Phoenix, AZ

About Phoenix

The desert climate in Phoenix requires both air conditioning and heating systems in the homes of Phoenix residents. Therefore, many HVAC contractors in the Phoenix area specialize in maintaining, replacing or repairing both air conditioning and heating systems. And while many of these contractors are located in surrounding areas like Tempe, Scottsdale and Mesa, they often provide services throughout the valley area.

Some Phoenix heating contractors belong to the Metro Phoenix Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association, which promotes its members and trade through education, lobbying and marketing. Its members also follow a code of ethics to fulfill the s "dedication to the of the industry for the protection of our environment, and the health, comfort and safety of society." The Better Business Bureau of Greater Arizona is another organization that accredits and monitors contractors.

Legal Requirements

In the State of Arizona, a landlord is required by law to maintain a working heating unit which the tenant controls. Likewise, it is up to the tenant to use any appliances, including heating systems, properly and appropriately. If a landlord fails to supply the tenant with proper heat, a tenant must notify the landlord and can then do the following:

• Acquire means for heating their residence and deduct the cost from their rent.
• Find another place to live and forgo rental payment during the time their original residence was inadequately heated. If their interim rent is higher than their original rent, a tenant may also seek to have the excess amount reimbursed by their landlord.

Alternative Energy in Phoenix

Like many other large cities in the United States, Phoenix has numerous alternative energy projects in the works. Its 325 days of sunshine a year make it a great place for solar energy production and that is exactly what Mayor Phil Gordon wants. He recently issued a plan to increase the s production of solar power through building a solar power plant, using solar power for city buildings, and giving homeowners incentives to harness solar energy for their homes. The s plan hopes to make Phoenix the first carbon-neutral city in the United States. The plan also includes efforts to harness the power of methane gas produced by landfills and water treatment plants.

State Aid for Upgrading Energy Systems

There are a number of loans, tax credits and rebate programs available to Arizona residents looking to upgrade their energy systems. One such incentive is the Scottsdale Green Building Program, which offers assistance in developing plans for building more efficient, higher quality buildings. Another incentive is the Solar Energy Credit, which offers residents a maximum $1000 tax credit for installing solar or wind power systems in their home.

Typical Climate

s desert climate means that its daytime temperature stays between warm and hot all year round. Average highs stay around the mid-sixties in the winter and soar above 100 degrees in the summertime. Air conditioners and swamp coolers -- also called evaporative coolers -- make the s dry, blistering summers livable. Nighttimes bring significantly lower temperatures, meaning that residents may be switching on their heat only at night. Average lows between November and March are between 50 and 40 degrees.
