Family-Owned, Arizona-Rooted

Chris and Stacia Hays have been serving Arizona residents and businesses since 2001, building a reputation for honest work, reliable service, and treating every customer like a neighbor.

After successfully growing one of the state's most trusted plumbing and HVAC companies, they stepped away, only to find that past customers kept reaching out, saying the same thing: "It's not the same without you."

So they came back. Not because they had to, but because they truly care. Local Roots AC and Plumbing is their return to the work they love, built on decades of experience, modern tools, and the same core values that earned their reputation the first time around.

Questions About AC & Plumbing in Phoenix?

With 23+ years serving the Valley, we've heard them all. Here are answers to the questions Phoenix homeowners ask most.

Have a specific question?
602-560-8989
How long do AC units last in Arizona?

AC units in Arizona typically last 12-15 years compared to 15-20 years in milder climates. The extreme Phoenix heat, where your AC runs 6-8 months per year, puts significant stress on systems. Regular maintenance can extend your unit's life and efficiency. If your AC is approaching 15 years, it's time to start planning for replacement.

When should I replace my AC instead of repair it?

Consider AC replacement if your unit is 15+ years old, requires repairs costing more than 50% of a new unit, uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out in 2020, now 5x more expensive), or breaks down frequently. In Phoenix's extreme heat, a reliable AC isn't just comfort, it's essential for safety. We offer free estimates and never pressure you into a sale.

What SEER rating should I get for Phoenix?

For Phoenix homes, we recommend 16+ SEER ratings. Higher SEER units provide significant energy savings in our extreme heat where AC runs 6-8 months per year. The ROI on higher efficiency is better in Arizona than almost anywhere else. As Trane Comfort Specialists and NATE Certified technicians, we can help you calculate the long-term savings for your specific home.

Why is Phoenix water so hard on plumbing?

Phoenix has some of the hardest water in the country at 15-25 grains per gallon (anything over 10.5 is "very hard"). This comes from our Colorado River water source. Hard water causes scale buildup in pipes, reduces water heater efficiency by 25-40%, and shortens appliance lifespans. A quality water softener can protect your home's plumbing and appliances.
