Our Customer Testimonials

5/5

"We recently had an issue with our Trane AC unit, and Shelby from Hometown HVAC did a fantastic job. He quickly diagnosed the problem, replaced the capacitor, and had us back up and running in no time. Shelby has over 30 years of HVAC experience and specializes in residential work, with commercial experience as well. He's professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy- showed up in a branded truck and uniform, explained everything clearly, and didn't try to upsell us, just focused on the repair. His pricing is very reasonable. He mentioned that he works in North Scottsdale frequently and handles maintenance, repair, and emergency calls. I'd highly recommend Shelby and Hometown HVAC to anyone in the area who needs reliable AC service."

"I have been a GC for over 30 years and when I came to AZ 7 years ago, I met Shelby even before he started HomeTown and have worked with him ever since. My remodel projects are not easy, and Shelby puts in the time on the front end and helps me design. He is very knowledgeable and with his expertise, we can put together an affordable and functional system that I know will work. He has strong communication skills and puts together a clear and detailed estimates. I know that I am only as good as the people around me and that is why I value working with HomeTown HVAC."

Frequently Asked Questions About Ducted Heat Pumps in Phoenix

Everything You Need to Know About Installation, Replacement, and Efficiency

A ducted heat pump is an all-in-one HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling through your home's existing ductwork. In the summer, it works like a traditional air conditioner. In the winter, it reverses operation to extract heat from the outside air and bring it indoors. It's ideal for Phoenix's mild winters and hot summers.

Yes — in fact, ducted heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient HVAC options for Phoenix homeowners. Because our winters are relatively mild, a heat pump can handle year-round temperature control without the inefficiencies of a separate furnace.

A ducted heat pump replaces both a traditional AC unit and furnace. It runs entirely on electricity and eliminates the need for gas hookups. It's a greener, more compact solution that reduces long-term energy costs while still providing powerful cooling and effective winter heating.

We are a certified Armstrong dealer, and we trust Armstrong systems for their durability, high SEER2 efficiency ratings, and strong performance in high-demand environments like Phoenix. We can also service or replace other major brands upon request.

In most cases, yes. If your ductwork is in good shape and properly sized, we can often reuse it with minimal adjustments. If your ducts are leaky, undersized, or damaged, we'll recommend improvements to maximize system performance.

Most installations take 1 to 2 days, depending on the complexity of the job and whether ductwork modifications are needed. For full HVAC system replacements, the process is fast, efficient, and minimally disruptive.

Yes. We offer affordable financing options to help you upgrade your system without a large upfront cost. Flexible terms and quick approvals make it easy to move forward with energy-efficient comfort.

Routine seasonal maintenance is recommended twice per year — typically in the spring and fall. Our plans include coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, filter replacement, electrical inspections, and airflow testing to keep your system running efficiently.

Yes — modern ducted heat pumps provide reliable heating even when outdoor temperatures drop. In Phoenix, where winters are relatively mild, a heat pump is more than capable of keeping your home comfortable through the cold season.
