AC Units in Greater Phoenix
Arizona summers do not negotiate. When the temperature hits 110 and keeps climbing, a weak or mismatched AC unit becomes an emergency fast. The wrong system costs you in monthly energy bills, premature breakdowns, and rooms that never actually get cool.
At The Cooling & Plumbing Co., we install and service every major AC unit type across the Greater Phoenix metro.
Not Sure Which Unit You Need?
That is normal. Most people know their current system is not keeping up but do not know what to replace it with. The Cooling & Plumbing Co. covers the full Greater Phoenix area from Glendale to San Tan Valley. We assess your current setup, explain the options in plain language, and recommend what actually makes sense for your space and budget.

Goodman Heat Pumps
A Goodman heat pump heats and cools your home in one unit. In summer it pulls heat out of your house like a standard AC. In winter it reverses the cycle and draws heat from the outside air. That is plenty for Phoenix winters, which rarely demand heavy heating.
No gas line required. Lower energy bills than running a furnace. Goodman builds these for value without cutting corners that matter.
Best fit: homeowners who want lower upfront cost, rental properties, homes without gas service, or anyone replacing an old AC with something simpler.

Goodman Furnaces
Yes, Phoenix gets cold at night. January temperatures drop into the 40s and a gas furnace still has a place here. Goodman furnaces are popular because they are affordable, reliable, and backed by Daikin, one of the largest HVAC manufacturers in the world. Parts are easy to find and service is straightforward.
Most homes in Arizona use 80% AFUE furnaces. You do not need the high-efficiency venting setups required in colder states. The key point: a properly installed Goodman outperforms a poorly installed premium brand every single time.
Best fit: homes with existing gas lines, homeowners who prefer gas heat, and anyone who wants solid warmth without overpaying for features they will never need.
Goodman Rooftop AC Units
Goodman rooftop units, also called packaged units, combine heating and cooling into one outdoor cabinet. These install on a roof or ground slab and do not need an indoor air handler, which saves space and simplifies the install.
Small commercial buildings, warehouses, shops, and some residential homes use these. In Arizona, the heat pump versions usually make more sense than gas-electric combos because the climate is so mild.
Best fit: commercial properties, manufactured homes, and anyone who wants the entire HVAC system kept outside.
Goodman Commercial AC Systems
For businesses that need serious climate control, Goodman offers commercial-grade packaged rooftop units and split systems built for larger spaces. These units handle the non-stop Arizona cooling season with heavy-duty construction and straightforward service access.
Goodman commercial systems are a practical choice for small to mid-size commercial buildings that need reliable cooling without the premium price tag of top-tier commercial brands.
Best fit: offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and light commercial facilities across Phoenix and Mesa.
Amana AC Units
Amana is made by the same parent company as Goodman and shares much of the same internal engineering. The difference is branding and warranty structure. Amana typically offers longer warranty coverage and positions itself as a step up from Goodman while still staying in the affordable range.
Amana AC units, heat pumps, and furnaces work well in Arizona climates and are backed by solid parts availability. If you want the reliability of Goodman construction with a more consumer-facing brand name and warranty, Amana is worth considering.
Best fit: homeowners who want a name-brand feel without moving into premium pricing, and anyone who values longer warranty protection.
Amana Commercial AC Systems
Amana commercial units follow the same formula as their residential line: reliable construction, competitive pricing, and warranties that beat most competitors in the same class. Their commercial packaged units and rooftop systems work well for Arizona businesses that run their AC hard for most of the year.
Best fit: small to mid-size commercial properties that want value and warranty coverage without overspending.
Daikin Commercial AC Units
Daikin is one of the largest HVAC manufacturers worldwide and their commercial line is built for business scale. From rooftop units for retail stores to VRV systems with smart building controls, these units are designed to grow with your facility and cut energy costs over time.
The upfront cost runs higher than basic commercial systems but the efficiency and lifespan pay it back, especially in Arizona where cooling runs almost year-round.
Best fit: retail, restaurants, offices, warehouses, and industrial facilities in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Chandler that need reliable climate control without constant repairs.
Manufactured Home AC Units
Manufactured homes need specialized HVAC. The ducting is different, the spaces are tighter, and the systems must meet HUD code requirements. Standard residential units often will not fit or perform correctly.
The most common options are downflow split systems that push air into floor ducts, compact packaged units that save indoor space, and heat pumps that handle both heating and cooling without gas. Mini-split systems are the best upgrade if you want room-by-room control without tearing up ductwork.
Best fit: mobile and manufactured home owners who need a system built for their specific setup.
Navien Heat Pumps
Navien is best known for tankless water heaters, but their heat pump line deserves attention. The Navien NPF Series uses heat pump technology to pull warmth from the surrounding air and transfer it into your water tank, instead of generating heat directly with electricity.
This works like an AC in reverse. A compressor and refrigerant system extract heat from ambient air, which makes it especially efficient in warm climates like Phoenix. In heat pump mode, these units can be two to four times more efficient than standard electric water heaters.
Key features include multiple operating modes (heat pump only, hybrid, electric backup, and vacation mode), built-in Wi-Fi on select models for remote control, and leak detection with auto shutoff. The unit does produce condensation like an AC, so it needs a drain line and works best in garages, utility rooms, or basements where it can pull warm air.
Best fit: homeowners who want lower energy bills, environmentally friendly hot water, and a system that performs even better in Arizona heat. Also a smart choice if you are adding solar and want efficient electric water heating.
Navien Furnaces
Navien has expanded beyond water heaters into high-efficiency gas furnaces with their NPF Series. These are compact, ducted heating systems built for residential use with efficiency ratings up to 97% AFUE.
The stainless steel heat exchanger is a standout feature. It resists corrosion better than standard aluminized steel and is built to last longer. The cabinet is insulated and the variable-speed blower runs quietly, which matters if your furnace sits in a closet or attic near living space.
The compact footprint is another plus. These units fit in tight mechanical rooms, closets, and attics where older bulkier furnaces would not work.
Navien is newer to the furnace market than brands like Goodman or Amana, so contractor familiarity and local parts availability matter. The upfront cost runs higher than standard 80% furnaces, but the efficiency and build quality make sense for high-end residential installs or hybrid systems paired with a heat pump.
Best fit: homes upgrading from older 80% furnaces, high-efficiency new builds, hybrid heat pump systems, and homes where installation space is limited.
Smart Thermostats and Climate Controls
A new AC unit is only as good as the thermostat controlling it. We install and program smart thermostats from all major brands including Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell, and manufacturer-specific controls for Daikin and Goodman systems.
A properly configured smart thermostat can cut your cooling costs by learning your schedule, adjusting for occupancy, and letting you control temperature remotely. For commercial spaces, building management systems can control multiple zones from one interface.
Best fit: anyone who wants lower energy bills, remote control of their home temperature, or automated scheduling that actually works.
Home Zoning Systems
If one room in your house is always too hot and another is always too cold, a zoning system is the fix. Zoning uses dampers in your ductwork to direct conditioned air exactly where it is needed, controlled by separate thermostats in each zone.
This is especially useful in Phoenix homes where west-facing rooms bake in afternoon sun while east-facing rooms stay cooler. Instead of overcooling the whole house to fix one hot room, zoning sends more air where it is needed and less where it is not.
Best fit: multi-story homes, homes with large square footage, rooms that get direct afternoon sun, and anyone tired of thermostat wars with family members.
Still Not Sure Which Unit You Need?
That is normal. Most people know their current system is not keeping up but do not know what to replace it with. The Cooling & Plumbing Co. covers the full Greater Phoenix area from Glendale to Gilbert. We assess your current setup, explain the options in plain language, and recommend what actually makes sense for your space and budget.
