What’s the Difference Between an Inverter and a Variable-Speed AC System?
Inverter technology and variable-speed AC systems are often mentioned together but refer to distinct components of modern HVAC systems. An inverter is an electronic device that regulates the compressor motor's speed, enabling precise temperature control, energy efficiency, and quiet operation. A variable-speed AC system, on the other hand, uses inverter technology to adjust its operation dynamically, maintaining consistent comfort, better humidity control, and lower energy consumption. While all variable-speed systems rely on inverters to function, the choice of system depends on factors like climate, budget, and noise sensitivity. Inverter-driven variable-speed systems are ideal for hot climates like Arizona, offering superior comfort, energy savings, and long-term value. If you're considering upgrading your HVAC system, these advanced technologies are worth the investment.

How Much Should an Air Conditioner Cost in Arizona in 2025?
The cost of an installed air conditioner in Arizona ranges from $6,300 to $39,000, with an average of $14,368 in 2024. Prices in 2025 will vary based on factors like system size, type, features, insulation, and installation quality.

Frankie believes in repairs and preventative maintenance first, replacing systems only when necessary.

Why You Should Never Top Up an Air Conditioner with Refrigerant
Air conditioners are complex systems designed to maintain comfort, but misconceptions about refrigerant maintenance can lead to environmental and financial harm. Contrary to popular belief, refrigerant doesn’t get “used up” but operates in a sealed system. Low refrigerant levels indicate a leak that must be addressed immediately. Simply “topping up” refrigerant without repairing the leak is not only ineffective but also illegal, as it contributes to ozone depletion and global warming. Homeowners have a legal and ethical responsibility to fix leaks promptly to avoid penalties, increased energy costs, and environmental liability. Fix It Frankie emphasizes the importance of repairing refrigerant leaks at their source to ensure lasting, compliant solutions. Their leak diagnostic service, priced at $120, identifies the issue, and if no leak is found, the diagnostic is free. This approach saves homeowners money, protects the environment, and ensures systems operate efficiently. Trust Fix It Frankie for responsible, reliable HVAC services that align with both EPA standards and environmental values.
