Racquet Club Community HVAC Replacement: Battling Arizona's Extreme Heat
Project Overview
Location: 9707 East Mountain View Road, Racquet Club Community, Scottsdale, AZ
Project Type: Residential HVAC System Replacement (Retrofit)
Timeline: 1 Day Installation with 2 Technicians
Investment: Approximately $10,000
The Challenge
In the heart of the Racquet Club community, we encountered a homeowner struggling with an all-too-common problem in Arizona’s scorching summers: an aging HVAC system that simply couldn’t keep up with the heat.
The 20-year-old system was fighting a losing battle against outdoor temperatures exceeding 105°F. As many residents in this townhome community still rely on original HVAC systems, this case represents a challenge many homeowners in the area face.
Our diagnosis revealed multiple issues:
- The system was 20 years old, well beyond its expected lifespan
- It utilized outdated R22 refrigerant, which is being phased out
- Indoor temperatures couldn’t be maintained when outdoor temperatures climbed above 105°F
- Energy efficiency had significantly declined, resulting in excessive power bills
Our Solution
After a thorough assessment, we recommended a complete system replacement rather than attempting repairs on the aging unit. Our approach focused on not just solving the immediate temperature control issues, but providing a long-term solution that would deliver both comfort and energy savings.
Our solution included:
- Installation of a new high-efficiency split heat pump system
- Complete replacement of outdated components
- Properly sized system for the specific townhome dimensions
- System calibration for optimal performance in Arizona’s climate
The Implementation

Our experienced team of two technicians completed the entire installation in just one day, minimizing disruption to the homeowner’s daily life. The speedy yet thorough installation demonstrates our commitment to efficiency without compromising quality.
Our installation process included:
- Removal and proper disposal of the old system
- Installation of the new split heat pump system
- Comprehensive testing and calibration
- Detailed walkthrough with the homeowner on system operation
The Results
The new system has transformed the homeowner’s experience, delivering multiple benefits:
- Consistent Temperature Control: The home now maintains the set temperature regardless of outdoor conditions, even when temperatures soar above 105°F
- Increased Energy Efficiency: Lower monthly power bills through reduced energy consumption
- Long-term Protection: Complete 10-year parts and labor warranty from the manufacturer
- Environmental Upgrade: Modern refrigerant replacing outdated R22
- Peace of Mind: Reliable performance during Arizona’s extreme heat events
Why This Matters
This project exemplifies a common situation throughout the Racquet Club community and similar developments in the Scottsdale area. Many homes still operate with original HVAC systems that are approaching or have exceeded their expected lifespan.
As Arizona continues to experience extreme heat events, upgrading to modern, efficient systems isn’t just about comfort—it’s about creating resilient homes that can withstand our challenging climate conditions.
