Obsessed With The Right Cooling Strategy For Your Home
Traditional air conditioners aren’t the only tools in our arsenal when it comes to AC installations in Peoria, AZ. Sometimes, a different approach (like a heat pump) is the best choice. But how do these two different tactics differ? Let our polar bears break it down for you.
What are heat pumps?
You’re probably familiar with traditional air conditioning. When you think of AC, you’re probably picturing a bulkier outdoor unit that draws out heat and pumps cooled air through your home. Heat pumps heat and cool, and instead of creating treated air, they move cooled or heated air around your home and outside to keep temperatures steady.
Why heat pumps succeed in Peoria
If you hear your HVAC tech suggesting a heat pump for your AC installation in Peoria, AZ, don’t worry. You’re not getting a “weaker system”; heat pumps actually thrive in Peoria’s climate for the following reasons.
- They’re a single system for both heating and cooling.
- Heat pump efficiency drops when temperatures drop below freezing (not something that happens often in Arizona).
- They’re extremely energy efficient and thrive in milder winter climates.
- They eliminate dependence on a furnace that can often fail during long periods of disuse in the summer.
- Heat pumps are extremely quiet when compared to traditional air conditioners.
When traditional air conditioning makes sense
Our polar bears won’t push any one cooling system on you; we’ll give you options, and sometimes, a traditional air conditioner makes the most sense for an AC installation in Peoria.
- Traditional ACs usually cost less upfront to install.
- The tech is familiar to most HVAC technicians when AC repairs show up.
- When your heating needs are minimal, focusing on cooling with a traditional AC makes sense.
- If you have an existing heating system that’s in good health, adding a single cooling option is financially smarter.
Obsessed With Your Comfort
Our polar bears go out of their way to set you up with the most effective, customized cooling they can. Every home is a puzzle, and your cooling should never be copied and pasted from a previous job. Every home is different and should be approached differently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the direction my house faces matter for an AC install?
Surprisingly, yes, your home’s orientation can actually affect AC efficiency quite a bit. For example, if your home faces West and you’ve got a good number of windows in areas that get regular sun exposure for long periods, your AC’s cooling load needs to be adjusted to account for all that radiant heat.
Will my old thermostat work with my new AC?
If you’re concerned about compatibility with a new air conditioner and an old thermostat, don’t worry. While some older thermostats may not work with newer air conditioners, your HVAC technician will size everything up. If the two don’t mesh, a replacement thermostat will be placed.
Do I need my insulation looked at before or during an AC install?
Yes to both, your home’s insulation status has a big effect on the cooling load of your new air conditioner. Poorly insulated attics can radiate heat to the rest of your house, causing your AC to work harder than it needs to. A professional should inspect your insulation to make sure it’s properly set up to support your new AC, not drag it down.
Does my home with high ceilings affect cooling?
Definitely, homes with higher ceilings take significantly more power to evenly cool. If you’ve got high vaulted ceilings or two-story great rooms in your home, your AC installer will need to do some extra calculations to make sure your air conditioner has the power to keep the area evenly cooled.
