No email gates, no fine print. The same honest math our techs use — repair vs. replace, energy savings, monthly payments, and a 2-minute AC triage.
Answer a few questions — you'll either fix it yourself in the next ten minutes or know exactly what to tell us when you call.
What's your AC doing right now?
The honest math, tuned for Arizona lifespans. Slide your numbers in — no email required.

The math leans toward replacing.
Age (8 yrs) × repair cost ($900) puts you over the industry "$5,000 rule". In the Phoenix heat, systems age faster — we'd quote both paths side-by-side so you can compare real numbers.
Guidance only — refrigerant type, ductwork, and warranty status all move the answer. A Paragon tech confirms with real numbers on site.
Compare your current system's SEER rating against a new one, using your real summer bill.
Your result
Save roughly $505 a year (~38% of cooling costs).
That's about $5,053 over a 10-year life — before SRP/APS rebates and federal tax credits, which we'll help you claim.
Estimate assumes cooling is ~55% of your summer bill across Arizona's 7-month cooling season. Real savings depend on your home's insulation, ductwork, and thermostat habits.
Turn a project quote into a monthly number you can actually budget around.
Your result
About $207/month.
Total of payments: $17,426 over 84 months. Approvals typically take minutes, with options for a range of credit profiles.
Illustrative math only — not an offer of credit. Your rate and term depend on the lender's approval. See financing for details.
A desert-tuned tonnage estimate from your home's real characteristics — no email required.
Your result
Estimated 4–5 tons (50,000–57,000 BTU/h) for Arizona's cooling load.
This is honest rule-of-thumb guidance, tuned for desert heat gain — the real answer is a Manual J load calculation, which accounts for orientation, ductwork, and infiltration. Oversizing is as costly as undersizing: short-cycling wears equipment out and leaves monsoon humidity in the air.
Estimate only. Two same-size homes a street apart can need different equipment — we confirm with a free in-home Manual J before quoting any system.
Pick your size, tell us about the household, and get a MERV rating + change schedule tuned for Arizona dust.
Your result
16x25x1 · MERV 8 · change every 30–60 days.
Why MERV 8: solid everyday filtration for a typical Greater Phoenix area home.
Change it every 30–60 days — and monthly during monsoon season (June–September), when a single haboob can visibly load a filter.
Filter fit and airflow get verified at every Pro Plan tune-up — twice a year, so your filter schedule never depends on memory.

The same canonical answers our techs give on the phone — costs as honest ranges, no fine print.
Use the 5,000 rule: multiply the repair quote by the system's age in years — if the result exceeds $5,000 and the unit is 10+ years old, replacement is usually the smarter investment. Also weigh refrigerant type, rising bills, and how many more Arizona summers you need it to survive.

Most full AC or heat-pump replacements in the Greater Phoenix area run $8,000–$16,000 installed, depending on tonnage, efficiency rating, and ductwork condition. High-efficiency variable-speed systems can run more; a basic like-for-like swap can run less. Financing typically starts around $189/month on approved credit.
The federal minimum for the Southwest is SEER2 14.3, but for a system running 2,500+ hours a year, SEER2 15.2–17 is usually the value sweet spot. Beyond that, returns diminish unless ducts and insulation are right too — the rating on the box only counts if the installation delivers it.
Terms: SEER / SEER2 EER / EER2
Cooling is 50–70% of a summer power bill in the Greater Phoenix area, so the AC is the first suspect: dirty coils, a clogged filter, leaking ducts, or an aging system all force longer run times. Also check your rate plan — on-peak usage on SRP and APS time-of-use plans is expensive.
Terms: SEER / SEER2 Static Pressure
Same-day diagnostics with the $89 fee waived on same-day repairs, honest repair-vs-replace quotes, and financing that turns a big number into a small one.
