AC Replacement
AC replacement that actually saves money — done by people who'll tell you when not to.
Call Now: (602) 799-5557Replacing a working AC system is a big decision. The honest version: if your system is under 10 years old and the repair is reasonable, fix it. If your system is 12+ years old or the repair is more than ~30% of replacement cost, replacement usually wins on total cost of ownership.
Fast Track Heating and Cooling replaces central AC systems across the Phoenix Metro. We start every replacement quote with a 'should you actually replace?' conversation — because the worst install in the world is the one that didn't need to happen yet.
What's Included
When AC replacement actually makes sense
Age over 12 years and any major component failure (compressor, evaporator coil, condenser coil). R-22 refrigerant systems where the leak is in the coil — the cost to recover, replace the coil, and recharge with R-22 (very expensive now) usually exceeds replacement value. Repairs that exceed roughly 30% of replacement cost on a system over 8 years old. Electric bills that have crept up 40%+ versus the same season in earlier years.
When NOT to replace: a working system under 10 years old with a small repair (capacitor, contactor, fan motor). Systems still under manufacturer warranty. Recent installs by another company where workmanship issues — not equipment — are the actual problem (sometimes those can be corrected without a full replacement).
How replacement upgrades pay back
Going from a 10–12 SEER system (typical of pre-2006 installs) to a modern 16+ SEER2 system cuts cooling electricity use by roughly 30–40%. In a Phoenix-area home with $300/month summer bills, that's $90–$120/month in savings — over $500 a season — which means a typical replacement pays back in 6–10 years. Add modern variable-speed equipment and humidity comfort improves dramatically too.
Trade-in and financing options
We handle removal and recycling of your old equipment as part of every install. Financing options include 0%-interest plans for qualifying customers, longer-term reduced-rate plans, and we can pre-qualify you with a soft credit pull (no impact to your score). APS and SRP also offer rebates on qualifying high-efficiency equipment that we'll factor into your quote.

Serving the Entire Phoenix Metro
Phoenix Metro homes that haven't had an AC replacement since 2005 or earlier are still running R-22 systems in many cases. Once R-22 leaks become hard to repair affordably, replacement is forced. We see this most in Mesa, Tempe, central Phoenix, and Glendale homes.
From dense Phoenix neighborhoods to spread-out Queen Creek acreage, our trucks run the entire Valley every day. We know which subdivisions have undersized return ducts, which Mesa zip codes still have R-22 systems hanging on, and which Scottsdale custom builds were finished with two-stage equipment that needs specialized parts.
Cities we regularly serve include Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Queen Creek, Apache Junction, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Ahwatukee, plus surrounding East Valley and West Valley communities. If you're inside the 101, 202, or 303 loop, we can usually be at your door the same day you call.
