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.
San Tan Valley homes we see every week
Whatever your San Tan Valley home has, you’re covered.
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
Attic installs have their own set price, shown before you pay, so there are no add-ons on install day.
Hot back bedrooms
Get the real fix, not a bigger bill. A bigger unit rarely cools far rooms; the cause is usually airflow. Tell us, and your installer will check it.
A newer home with a failed system
Even newer systems fail. If yours is out of warranty, our installed price is often less than a major repair quote on an old-style system.
Just outside town limits
Some San Tan Valley addresses, like The Parks and San Tan Groves, are outside the town. Your installer follows Pinal County’s rules there.
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 San Tan Valley home need?
| 3 ton | Single story builder homes from the 2004 to 2008 boom |
|---|---|
| 4 ton | Two story plans cooled by one system |
| 5 ton | Largest two story homes running one unit for both floors |
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 San Tan Valley.
Is San Tan Valley a town now?
Yes. It incorporated in 2025, and some addresses with a San Tan Valley ZIP are outside town limits, where Pinal County still handles permits.
Does my home qualify for SRP Cool Cash?
Most San Tan Valley neighborhoods are SRP. A qualifying replacement earns $75 to $225 per ton, and we file the paperwork.
My Johnson Ranch home is from 2004. Is my AC due?
An original system there is past 20 years, well beyond the 10 to 13 years a Valley AC typically lasts.
Holding a quote from another San Tan Valley company?
Compare it line for line: equipment, installation, warranties and what’s left out.
Repair or replace?
When the original unit finally quits.
A San Tan Valley 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.
San Tan Valley AC replacement FAQ
Straight answers to the common questions.
How much does AC replacement cost in San Tan Valley, 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 San Tan Valley for comparable equipment usually land between $12,000 and $16,000.
What size AC does a San Tan Valley home need?
Most San Tan Valley homes need 3 to 5 tons. Start with the size on the label of the system you have now. Single story builder homes from the 2004 to 2008 boom usually run 3 tons. Two story plans cooled by one system usually run 4 tons. Largest two story homes running one unit for both floors usually run 5 tons.
Who provides electricity in San Tan Valley, and is there an AC rebate?
San Tan Valley 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 San Tan Valley?
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 San Tan Valley 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 San Tan Valley?
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 San Tan Valley 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.
