Homes from the 1970s may be on their third or fourth system by now, and you may find a roof package unit, an older split system, or an evaporative cooler still on the roof. Replacing a package unit raises the roof-or-ground question, and the pro you're matched with can quote both where the house allows it.

How does Eastside Tucson's climate affect this service?

Valley floor at about 2,650 feet from Swan Road out toward the Rincons, slightly higher than downtown. Full desert heat on 1960s and 1970s tracts. Commercial HVAC on the East Side and Southeast covers older Eastside retail and newer buildings toward Houghton Road and Vail.

My heat pump bill jumps on winter mornings. Is that the backup heat?

Possibly. Electric backup heat strips use far more power than the heat pump itself, and TEP's winter on-peak hours are weekdays 6 to 9 a.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. from October to April. A thermostat that ramps up gently, or a pro checking why the strips engage, can help.

Should I move my roof package unit to the ground?

Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes not. A ground split system can be easier to service and frees the roof, but it changes the duct connections and electrical run. Ask the company you're matched with to quote both if your house allows it.

Does an Eastside replacement need a permit?

Yes. The Eastside is in the City of Tucson, which requires permits for new or replacement air conditioners, heat pumps and furnaces, with load and sizing calculations. The contractor pulls it.
