Tempe's urban heat island effect means summer temperatures can be even more intense — and when your AC fails, it's a true emergency. Alphas Heating & Cooling, a family‑owned, 5‑star rated, BBB A+ company, has been the trusted emergency response team for Tempe homeowners, renters, and property managers since 2025. From the ASU campus to Tempe Town Lake, from The Lakes to South Tempe, we prioritize calls with no cooling and offer same‑day service. We believe in repairing first, replacing last — we'll exhaust every option to get your system running again before recommending a new unit. Free estimates, transparent pricing, and a commitment to quality that keeps our customers coming back.
We handle all types of emergency AC failures: refrigerant leaks, compressor failures, blower motor issues, electrical faults, and more. And we also offer AC tune‑up to prevent emergencies, and air conditioning installation when replacement is the right call.

Same‑day emergency AC service across all Tempe neighborhoods — Downtown, South Tempe, The Lakes, ASU area, Kiwanis Park, and beyond. Call before 2 PM for priority dispatch.
Our air conditioning repair service covers everything from simple fixes to major component replacements. We specialize in refrigerant leak detection, compressor replacement, blower motor repair, and electrical diagnostics. Whether your system is completely dead or just not cooling enough, we get to the root cause quickly. We'll give you a clear diagnosis and a written estimate before any work begins. We're also available for emergency AC repair around the clock — because Tempe heat doesn't wait for business hours.
When an emergency repair reveals that your system is beyond economical repair, we offer expert air conditioning installation. We help you choose the right size and efficiency for your Tempe home, with Manual J load calculations and premium equipment from top brands. We handle all permitting and can often install a new system within 24 hours of your emergency call. We also offer financing options to make the transition easier. We'll never pressure you — we'll present all options and let you decide.
While we're known for emergency AC repair, we're also your local heating contractor. Tempe winters can still dip into the 30s, and a broken furnace is just as urgent. We offer furnace repair, heater maintenance, and full heating system installations. Our technicians are trained in gas, electric, and heat pump systems. If your emergency call is for heating, we respond with the same speed and transparency. We're here for you year‑round.
Our HVAC repair service covers both cooling and heating emergencies. From thermostat issues to ductwork problems, we've got you covered. We also perform AC tune‑up to prevent future breakdowns. If you're not in an emergency, we still offer same‑day or next‑day service for all repairs. We believe in building long‑term relationships with our Tempe customers, not just one‑time fixes.
No power, no cooling? Often a tripped breaker, failed capacitor, or compressor issue. We diagnose and restore power quickly — often within an hour.
Low refrigerant causes poor cooling and can damage your compressor. We use electronic leak detectors to find and seal leaks, then recharge to spec.
Ice buildup blocks airflow and stops cooling. Caused by low refrigerant or restricted airflow. We thaw, diagnose the root cause, and fix it right.

We guarantee same‑day emergency service for Tempe addresses when you call before 2 PM. Most emergency calls are at your door within 2–4 hours. We keep trucks strategically placed across the East Valley to minimize drive time. For after‑hours emergencies, call anyway — we often can accommodate same‑day.
We believe emergency AC repair shouldn't come with predatory pricing. Our rates are consistent for all service calls, with transparent diagnostic fees. We focus on value and quality, not surge pricing. You'll know the cost before we start any repair.
Turn off your AC at the thermostat to prevent further damage. Close blinds and curtains to block sunlight. Use fans if available. Stay hydrated and consider visiting a public cooling center or air‑conditioned space like a library or mall if vulnerable individuals are at risk. We'll get there as fast as we can.
No. Our philosophy is "fix first, replace last." We'll exhaust all repair options before recommending a new system. If a replacement truly is the better long‑term value, we'll explain why — but never pressure you. Your trust matters more than a sale.
In Tempe's extreme urban heat, the top emergencies are: failed run/start capacitors (very common), refrigerant leaks, frozen evaporator coils, failed condenser fan motors, and clogged drain lines causing water leaks. We carry all these parts on our trucks for immediate repair.
Yes — we triage emergency calls based on vulnerability. If you have elderly family members, infants, or anyone with health conditions that are heat‑sensitive, let us know when you call. We'll prioritize your home to get you cooling as quickly as possible.
