SRP or APS?
Get the most from whichever utility you have.
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 an APS time-of-use plan
APS charges its on-peak price from 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays. A two stage or variable speed system runs gentler through those hours, so two-stage and inverter systems keep paying you back on your summer bills.
On APS? A thermostat credit still counts
APS discontinued its AC rebate on January 1, 2026, but its Cool Rewards program still pays up to $85 for a qualifying smart thermostat. Your savings start with our published installed price.
Chandler homes we see every week
Whatever your Chandler home has, you’re covered.
An Ocotillo home with a screen wall
Ocotillo’s HOA requires visible ground-mounted units to sit behind a stucco block wall that matches the house. Your new unit goes right back in the same spot, behind the same wall.
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.
Air handler up in the attic
Common in Chandler two-stories. Attic installs have their own set price, shown before you pay, so there are no add-ons on install day.
A 55+ community
From Springfield to the resort communities: a fast, tidy replacement, a set price before you pay, and one phone number for anything you need afterward.
A bigger home in the south
Fulton Ranch and Ocotillo homes often top 2,500 sq ft and may run two systems or a 5 ton unit. Each system is priced on its own.
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 Chandler home need?
| 3 ton | Single story homes near 1,600 sq ft |
|---|---|
| 3.5 ton | Typical 1,800 to 2,200 sq ft plans |
| 4 ton | 2,200 to 2,800 sq ft on one system |
| 5 ton | 2,800 to 3,500 sq ft on one system |
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 Chandler.
Does my Ocotillo screen wall need to change?
No. Your new unit goes back in the same spot behind the same stucco wall, which keeps you within the HOA’s screening rule.
Is my Chandler home on SRP or APS?
Chandler has both. Your electric bill shows which one you have, and only SRP customers get the Cool Cash rebate.
My Sun Lakes address says Chandler. Do you serve it?
Sun Lakes shares ZIP 85248 with Chandler but is unincorporated county land. Call us and we’ll confirm installation for your address.
Holding a quote from another Chandler company?
Compare it line for line: equipment, installation, warranties and what’s left out.
Repair or replace?
When the original unit finally quits.
A Chandler 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.
Chandler AC replacement FAQ
Straight answers to the common questions.
How much does AC replacement cost in Chandler, 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 Chandler for comparable equipment usually land between $12,000 and $16,000.
What size AC does a Chandler home need?
Most Chandler homes need 3 to 4 tons. Start with the size on the label of the system you have now. As a rough guide, about 1,600 square feet runs 3 tons, 1,800 to 2,200 runs 3.5 tons, 2,200 to 2,800 runs 4 tons and 2,800 to 3,500 runs 5 tons on one system. In a two-story home each system is sized for its own floor.
Who provides electricity in Chandler, and is there an AC rebate?
Chandler is served by SRP and APS, and your bill shows which one you have. If you’re on 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. If you’re on APS: APS discontinued its AC rebate on January 1, 2026. APS Cool Rewards still pays up to $85 for a qualifying smart thermostat.
How long does AC replacement take in Chandler?
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 Chandler 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 Chandler?
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 Chandler 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.
