What customers say about furnace replacement
We have worked with American Home Water and Air multiple times and enjoyed our experiences with them. When we had to replace our water heater they were able to come out quickly and offer a fair price. Most recently we had a water pressure issue that Masun came out and resolved. We appreciated the time he took to check everything, resolve the issue, and cover some additional questions we had. He was very friendly and easy to work with.

What Every Scottsdale Property Owner Should Ask Before Booking
- Replace a gas furnace with another gas furnace, or switch to a heat pump?
- Stay with gas if your winter design temp is below 0°F and you have cheap natural gas — heat pumps still derate in extreme cold. Switch to a heat pump if winters are mild AND electricity isn't 2× the national rate AND a state rebate stacks. Run 10-year operating costs, not just install price.
- What AFUE rating should I look for in a new gas furnace?
- 95–98% AFUE for cold climates (condensing furnace; requires PVC venting and a condensate drain). 80% AFUE is acceptable in mild climates where the high-efficiency install premium doesn't pay back. Skip the 92–94% band — the price-to-efficiency curve is bad there.
- Do Scottsdale HVAC contractors need a specific state license to perform residential repairs?
- Yes, all HVAC contractors operating in Scottsdale must hold a valid license issued by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. This state-level requirement ensures that technicians possess the necessary training and insurance coverage to perform residential cooling work safely. Before hiring any company, verify their current license status through the official Registrar of Contractors database to confirm they are authorized to work on your home.
- How do I find a qualified mini-split specialist in Scottsdale?
- To find a qualified mini-split specialist in Scottsdale, look for providers who maintain manufacturer-specific certifications and demonstrate extensive experience with high-efficiency ductless systems. Reviewer feedback often highlights companies that specialize in these installations for older homes in areas like McCormick Ranch or modern, compact builds. Verify that the provider has dedicated equipment for these units and check for NATE-certified technicians on staff to ensure the installation meets high technical standards.
