Air Conditioning Installation

Installing a new air conditioning unit in your home can greatly reduce energy costs. New air conditioning models are designed for better energy efficiency.

In the Phoenix Metropolitan area, we require high-quality air conditioners to keep our homes comfortable during the extremely hot summer months. In order to keep our homes cooled, there are many different types of air conditioning systems designed to effectively work.

Roof Top Air Conditioning Units

Many homes in the Phoenix Metropolitan area have roof top air conditioning units. They are often called “packaged heat pumps” or “gas packs”. At Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating, great care is taken with the installation of new roof top air conditioning unit. Our technicians ensure that a new unit will be a good fit for the house. It needs to have the correct rating in order to effectively cool the home.

During the installation, Arctic Fox Air Conditioning technicians follow a step-by-step procedure to provide a quality installation. Here are a few of the important steps that we take during the installation of roof top air conditioning units:

• Construction of Custom Built Sheet Metal Air Duct Elbows to Fit Rooftop and Unit Exactly
• Changing of the High Voltage Disconnect and Wiring on Roof
• Installation on New Thermostat Wiring
• Installation of Condensate Drain to Home's Drain
• Installation of a New Digital Thermostat
• Inspection of Duct Work in Attic Looking for Leaks

Split System Air Conditioning Units

Split system air conditioning units typically have the condenser part of the air conditioning unit outside of the house on the ground with the blower inside of the house. When Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating installs a split system air conditioning unit, we follow a list of procedures designed to provide you with the highest quality installation possible. Here are some of those procedures:

• Installation of a New Electrical Disconnect
• Installation of New Copper Lines from the House to the New Unit
• Ensure That the New Air Conditioning Unit Outside of the House is Level
• Installation of a New Liquid Line Dryer and Suction Line Dryer
• Installation of a New Secondary Drain Pan in the Attic
• Installation of the New Air Handler or Furnace
• Reconnection of the Drain Lines with Proper Slope for Adequate Drainage
• Installation of New Plenum Boxes and if Needed, New Duct Work
• Installation of New Gas Flexes and Flue Pipe on Furnaces
• Installation of a New Digital Thermostat

At Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating, we never cut corners on the installation of a new air conditioning unit. Our technicians use high-quality parts that are designed to last. We believe that it is better to have a low-quality unit installed properly than a top-of-the-line system installed poorly.

Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating

Arctic Fox Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC is a family owned business developed by Heath and Misti Thomas in September of 2008 to provide exceptional HVAC installation and repair services. Both Heath and Misti discovered that many companies were not putting the best interests of their customers first. 

Heath was mentored by his uncle starting in 1999. After developing a love for the HVAC industry, he decided to attend Universal Technical Institute graduating in 2000 in the top of his class. He went into the new construction field installing new air conditioning and heating units along with duct-work and water heaters. After a few years, Heath switched over to do repair and maintenance service learning that this was an area of HVAC that he loved doing. Occasionally, he would come across older units that needed to be replaced. With his previous experience of installing air conditioning and heating units, he was able to professionally and efficiently satisfy the needs of his customers. All of this experience has provided Heath with a very well rounded HVAC career. 

To add to his credentials, Heath was certified as a Master Heat Pump Technician in 2005 through the Phoenix Heat Pump Council. In addition, Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating is an APS Qualified Contractor. Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating is also a Better Business Bureau Approved Business with an excellent rating. 

To develop Arctic Fox Air Conditioning and Heating, Heath and Misti received their State of Arizona Contractors License ROC # 246065.
