Insulation and HVAC for Tempe homes
Tempe has some of the oldest housing in the East Valley, especially north of the US-60 near ASU, along with newer neighborhoods in South Tempe, Warner Ranch and The Lakes. We work in all of them, and the older the home, the more we usually find in the attic.
Why Tempe homes run hot
Many Tempe homes from the 1960s through the 1980s were built with very little attic insulation, and some have low-slope or flat roofs with limited attic space. Old insulation in those homes is often settled, dusty or damaged by rodents, which is why removal is common before a new install.
Rental homes and student housing near the university also tend to have older systems and ductwork that have not been updated in years.
What we do most in Tempe
Rebates for Tempe homeowners
Most of Tempe 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.
Older homes, honest answers
In older Tempe homes we often have to decide whether to remove what is up there or blow new insulation over it. We show you photos of your attic and explain the difference in cost before you decide.
