A P E S

A P E S runs HVAC operations from Phoenix. They concentrate on air conditioning and heat pump work for homes dealing with extreme summer temperatures. The company covers installation of new systems, regular upkeep, and fixes for units that quit during the worst heat. Serving the broader area including nearby towns, they know how the dry climate and dust affect equipment over time. Homeowners call them when the AC struggles to keep up or when it's time to upgrade to something that handles the load better. Their crews show up ready to tackle the common issues that come with Arizona conditions.

They handle AC repair jobs in Buckeye and Goodyear, heat pump setups in Scottsdale, Mesa, and Gilbert, plus air duct cleaning around Scottsdale. The work involves getting to the root of cooling problems fast, replacing parts that fail in the heat, and making sure new equipment fits the demands of local homes. Maintenance visits keep systems running through the long hot months, and they clean ducts to improve airflow and cut down on dust buildup inside houses. Crews focus on practical fixes that last rather than temporary patches, and they deal with the full range of HVAC needs from simple tune ups to full replacements when older units can't cope anymore.

Phoenix heat puts heavy demands on every HVAC system, so companies that respond quickly and do solid work stand out. Homeowners face constant dust that clogs filters and ducts, plus units that run nonstop from spring through fall. The ones who earn top marks show up on time, explain what needs doing in plain terms, and leave the place cooler without surprise costs. That kind of steady performance builds a strong reputation over many jobs. DIRT Score 4.87 from 2582 reviews on Finds.

“We are extremely satisfied with the water heater installation service. The technician name Devin arrived even earlier than the scheduled appointment, which we truly appreciated. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and clearly an expert at what he does. He completed the installation efficiently, answered our questions, and made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. Great service from start to finish! Thank you for your excellent work, professionalism, and dedication. We highly recommend your service to anyone in need of water heater installation.”

“***Edited- the company called me so that we could work through these complaints of mine and they let me know that the kitchen drain was intentionally left unglued so that the kitchen cabinet could more easily be set. They apologized for not communicating with us about that. I do appreciate the foresight for us setting the cabinet and understand the communication on it was just missed. In the call they did ask how they could make it right. I did send a text with pictures about many of our concerns to our site supervisor the day the kitchen drain fell out but never received a response. Today he said he never received that text or would have been back out to fix our concerns. We were over working with the company so we fixed the easy things, we have a plan for the crossed water lines so we c”

“APES Plumbing absolutely saved the day for us. After a landscaper accidentally damaged our water riser, we were left with no running water and a major leak. Howard from APES came out first thing Sunday morning at 8AM and quickly diagnosed the issue. He found the entire riser was badly damaged, the PVB was missing components, and the main house shut-off valve was failing. Howard was friendly, professional, and incredibly thorough. He explained everything clearly, provided recommendations, and rebuilt the entire riser system with a new ball valve, PVB, copper fittings, and piping. Everything was tested and working perfectly before he left. APES was prompt, professional, fast, and truly went above and beyond. We now have a completely new backflow system and, most importantly, peace of mind.”

“We were getting a burning lint smell from our dryer and the room would get way too humid. Esteban came out and quickly got set up. He was super professional, got the blockage out of the dryer exhaust, and explained how it happened. He cleaned up the mess the lint made and was done in 45 minutes. 10/10 would call them up again.”

“Jose and Mickey were wonderful they helped us so much and made it a great time too!! It feels amazing to be able to flush again! The flow is even better than it’s ever been! Thank you so much Jose and Mickey. Toilet hero’s!”

“As the top renter at the house, I was not home, but I heard so much good things about Edwin‘s job at our house. I was told he was a very polite guy, updated us on what he was gonna do next. He did not leave our premises until he made sure we were satisfied with the work he done for us. He went an extra mile out of his way to make sure we ask for what we wanted for service.. We are one happy family. Thank you so much to Edwin especially”

“Mario and Kaleb were awesome! Very professional and respectful! Let us know what was going on every step of the way. Very know and appreciate how they kept us informed of the progress every step of the way! Would highly recommend! Thank you thank you thank you!!!🙏 Stayed all evening until the job was done to get us back up and running!”

“Our rental company sent out Apes HVAC and Plumbing for emergency maintenance on a Sunday, they showed up and came through in less than an hour, their tech Howey did an amazing job fully replacing our spigot and the copper water tubing and even offered to help discard of our broken hose. We can’t recommend them enough and should we ever need more services I know who to call! Thanks!”

“Avoid APES if you value honest pricing, clear communication, or skilled professionals. They quoted me over $6,000 to replace a single water heater — an absurd price for a job that should cost $2,000–$2,500 in Scottsdale. The written estimate they provided was one of the most confusing documents I've ever seen. It was nearly impossible to decipher what each option was and what I would be charged for. When I had questions, the said their plumbing manager would call me back in a few minutes. They never called. On top of that, the technician told me everything needed to be replaced. I got a second opinion, that plumber fixed the actual issue easily and gave me a straightforward quote on the spot. The honesty gap between the two companies was staggering. I have no idea why this place is so ”

“We had a tech from APES HVAC come and service our AC yesterday. Aside of tech running behind. He got to work as soon as he got to our house. Tech was kind and considerate. I'd highly recommend APES HVAC to our family and friends”
