On SRP?
Pick the system that saves you the most on SRP.
Cash back with SRP Cool Cash
SRP pays $75 per ton on a single stage system, $150 on two stage and $225 on variable speed, for systems rated 15.2 SEER2 or higher. On a 3 ton variable-speed system that’s $675 back. We handle the paperwork.
On SRP’s 6–9 p.m. plan
July and August on-peak power costs 40.20¢ per kWh, versus 6.61¢ super off-peak (8 a.m. to 3 p.m.). A two stage or variable speed system runs gentler through the evening peak, so two-stage and inverter systems pay you back on every summer bill.
On a flat rate
Single-stage gets you dependable cooling for the least money up front. Without peak pricing, the extra efficiency of two stage takes longer to pay you back.
Apache Junction homes we see every week
Whatever your Apache Junction home has, you’re covered.
A manufactured or mobile home
We replace these too, with a set price for the common closet setup. On SRP, mobile homes qualify for Cool Cash on a qualifying system.
A 55+ community
A fast, tidy replacement, a set price before you pay, and one phone number for anything you need afterward.
A seasonal home
Replace it before you leave or when you arrive. Tell us the days that work, and your installer handles the rest.
A park model in a resort
Some resorts require architectural approval and ground-mounted units. Golden Vista requires an ARC permit before replacing an AC or heat pump.
Two-story with a system per floor
Replace only what you need. Price the one that quit today and the other when you’re ready, each with its own price.
A rental or a home you’re selling
Single-stage is usually the smart buy: our most affordable option for dependable cooling, with the same installers and warranties. A new system with a 10 year parts warranty is a selling point in your listing.
What size does a Apache Junction home need?
| 1.5 ton | Smaller manufactured homes and single wides |
|---|---|
| 2.5 ton | Double wides and site built homes under 1,800 square feet |
| 3 ton | Site built homes of 1,800 to 2,400 square feet |
| 4 ton | Newer homes over 2,400 square feet toward Gold Canyon |
The size on your current system’s label is the best starting point. In a two-story home, each floor’s system is sized on its own.
Before you replace
Good questions to ask before you replace your AC in Apache Junction.
Does SRP Cool Cash cover my manufactured home?
Yes. SRP lists mobile homes as eligible, and package units count too. A qualifying system earns $75 to $225 per ton.
I live in Golden Vista. Do I need approval?
Yes. Golden Vista’s design guidelines require an ARC permit before replacing an AC or heat pump, and units must be ground-mounted unless factory-installed.
I’m only here in the winter. Can you replace it while I’m away?
Tell us the days that work and how to reach you; your installer coordinates access with you.
Holding a quote from another Apache Junction company?
Compare it line for line: equipment, installation, warranties and what’s left out.
Repair or replace?
When the original unit finally quits.
A Apache Junction system usually lasts 10 to 13 years, because it runs hard most of the year. One that has made it past 18 has done its job, and repairs at that age tend to come in bunches.
If yours still runs on R-22 refrigerant, a leak is where repair stops making sense: that refrigerant is no longer made, and recharges keep getting more expensive. A failed compressor on an old system points the same way.
Repair still makes sense on a system under about 7 years old when the fix is small and doesn’t involve refrigerant or the compressor.
Apache Junction AC replacement FAQ
Straight answers to the common questions.
How much does AC replacement cost in Apache Junction, AZ?
A 3 ton split heat pump is $6,995 installed for single-stage, $9,595 for two-stage, $11,495 for variable-speed and $14,095 for max efficiency. Each price includes the outdoor unit, the matched air handler, a new thermostat, installation and haul away. A two-story home with two systems prices each one separately. Dealer quotes in Apache Junction for comparable equipment usually land between $12,000 and $16,000.
What size AC does a Apache Junction home need?
Most Apache Junction homes need 1.5 to 4 tons. Start with the size on the label of the system you have now. Smaller manufactured homes and single wides usually run 1.5 tons. Double wides and site built homes under 1,800 square feet usually run 2.5 tons. Site built homes of 1,800 to 2,400 square feet usually run 3 tons. Newer homes over 2,400 square feet toward Gold Canyon usually run 4 tons.
Who provides electricity in Apache Junction, and is there an AC rebate?
Apache Junction is served by SRP. SRP’s Cool Cash rebate pays $75 per ton for single stage, $150 for two stage and $225 for variable speed systems rated 15.2 SEER2 or higher, installed by an Arizona-licensed contractor before April 30, 2027. We file the SRP application for you.
How long does AC replacement take in Apache Junction?
Most installations happen within 48 hours of your order, on days that work for you. The installation itself takes 6 to 8 hours per system, and both floors of a two-story home usually fit in one day.
Can someone come look at my AC in Apache Junction before I buy?
Yes. Most people order without a visit, but if you'd rather have someone see it in person first, just ask. We'll send a licensed contractor out for a free look.
Should I repair or replace a 20-year-old AC in Apache Junction?
Usually replace. Systems here typically last 10 to 13 years because they run hard most of the year. A refrigerant leak on an R-22 system or a failed compressor on an old unit is a replacement decision. Repair makes sense on a system under about 7 years old when the fix is small.
Why is AC Rebel cheaper than a traditional Apache Junction HVAC company?
AC replacement is all we do, and we sell every system at a published installed price. With no showroom, no commissioned salesperson and no dealer markup, you pay thousands less for the same equipment brands. We cut the salesman and the showroom, not the install: your system goes in with one of our licensed partner companies, the same pros we use for our own homes.
