Insulation and HVAC for Gilbert homes
Gilbert grew fast through the 1990s and 2000s, and a lot of the city is master-planned neighborhoods like Val Vista Lakes, Power Ranch, Seville and Agritopia. Those homes are now 15 to 30 years old, which is right when insulation and HVAC start to show their age.
Why Gilbert homes run hot
Many Gilbert homes are two stories, and the upstairs sits directly under an attic that reaches 150–160°F in summer. When builder-grade insulation settles, the second floor is the first place you feel it, often five to ten degrees warmer than downstairs.
Two-story homes also tend to have long duct runs to the far bedrooms. Those runs pass through the attic heat, so a loose connection or crushed flex duct can leave one room struggling.
What we do most in Gilbert
Rebates for Gilbert homeowners
Most of Gilbert is served by SRP. SRP customers whose attics are under R-38 can get up to $600 off an attic insulation upgrade that brings it to R-38, and up to $1,200 off a qualifying new HVAC system through SRP Cool Cash. We are an SRP Certified Preferred Contractor, so both rebates come off your invoice instantly.
Income-qualified households may also qualify for Efficiency Arizona, which can cover up to $8,000 toward a new HVAC system, including mini-splits, plus insulation upgrades. Eligibility is based on household income and household size, and we check it for free.
Two-story homes and two-system homes
Larger Gilbert homes often have separate systems for the upstairs and downstairs. When one is due for replacement, it is worth checking the other and the attic at the same time. Fixing the attic first can mean a smaller upstairs system and lower bills for years.
