Why Choose Experienced HVAC Specialists
Over Plumbing Sales Techs
When You Call Sun State HVAC You Get ...
AC & Heating Experts — Not Plumbers in Disguise
At Sun State HVAC, we don’t believe in gimmicks — we believe in experience. Our team consists of seasoned HVAC specialists, not plumbing techs rebranded as AC repair experts. When you choose us, you’re choosing true HVAC professionals who understand the science and systems behind every heating and cooling repair.
No Extra Charges for Nights or Holidays?
Companies that advertise this often charge overtime rates all the time. It’s not a deal — it’s a sales tactic.
Why Do Some Companies Push Replacements Instead of Repairs?
Some companies show up claiming they’ll fix your AC, but the truth is—they’re plumbers dressed up as HVAC techs. Once onsite, they’ll often say your unit is “too old” or “not worth fixing,” trying to upsell you on a brand-new system loaded with unnecessary upgrades. If you resist? They’ll still charge you a premium for repairs.
Why do they do this? Two main reasons:
- Plumbers aren’t trained HVAC specialists.
Complex air conditioning systems involve electrical diagnostics, refrigerant analysis, and airflow balancing—skills plumbers simply don’t have. - Their business model depends on selling new units.
High ad budgets, luxury service trucks, and commission-heavy sales teams aren’t cheap. Selling new systems is how they stay profitable—at your expense.
Why Can’t a Plumber Fix My AC?
A licensed plumber is trained in a very specific field: sewer and water line systems. While plumbers are excellent at what they do, HVAC systems require a completely different skill set.
Plumbers are best at:
Clearing clogged drains
Installing toilets, sinks, and faucets
Repairing sewer lines and water heaters
Running basic water lines and hot water return systems
But none of this prepares them to handle the high-voltage electronics, gas systems, or complex diagnostics involved in air conditioning repair. This is where Phoenix HVAC specialists like Sun State HVAC come in—because your comfort system deserves more than just guesswork.
Can an Electrician Repair My AC?
Electricians are great for installing:
Wiring for lighting, fans, and appliances
Electrical panels and sub-panels
Circuit feeds for new HVAC systems
But they’re not trained to diagnose or repair HVAC equipment. They don’t learn how to handle refrigerant pressures, safety controls, or thermodynamic performance.
That’s the domain of experienced AC repair technicians, who work daily with refrigerant charge levels, airflow diagnostics, subcooling, superheat, and system safety.
Why Are HVAC Specialists Different?
AC and heating repair involves far more than just basic electrical skills. These systems often operate on multiple voltage levels—both AC and DC, at high and low voltages—requiring deep technical expertise. Our Phoenix HVAC specialists are trained to understand the complex relationships between these power systems and the sensitive electronic monitoring controls they support.
These controls include safety switches, limiters, and diagnostic circuits that must be evaluated with precision to ensure system safety and efficiency.
What truly sets experienced AC repair technicians apart is their ability to manage the interwoven relationship between electricity and gas pressure systems. HVAC systems can contain flammable refrigerants and gases that—if not handled properly—can pose serious risks, including carbon monoxide or CO2 exposure.
Our specialists are trained to inspect, measure, and verify every safety element, ensuring your HVAC system performs safely and reliably—year-round.
Why AC and Heating Systems Require HVAC Specialists
An electrician’s knowledge typically ends where the plug enters the box. But HVAC systems are far more complex.
Many modern systems use flammable gases for heating and refrigerants like Freon, which can also be flammable and toxic. These systems must be inspected regularly to rule out carbon monoxide leaks and other dangerous conditions.
Phoenix HVAC specialists are trained to check high-voltage electrical connections, safety switches, and other critical systems that keep your environment safe.
For example, reading Freon pressure gauges involves more than attaching tools—it requires interpreting the relationship between high and low pressure according to enthalpy. That means understanding physics, temperature, humidity, and pressure inside and outside the building.
Additional checks include:
Subcooling and superheat measurements
Relative humidity
Static pressure
Temperature splits
Duct leakage and balance
And we haven’t even touched on the electrical diagnostics yet.
Trust the Pros—Not the Pretenders
The bottom line is this: AC and heating systems require specialized expertise. Most plumbers, electricians, painters, and even business owners simply aren’t trained to perform the complex diagnostics and safety checks that experienced AC repair technicians do.
