What we walked into

17-year-old Goodman unit running R-22 refrigerant (no longer manufactured). Homeowner reported the system was running 16+ hours a day in July without cooling below 84°F. Compressor showing electrical draw 30% above spec. Refrigerant lines visibly corroded; previous contractor had topped off refrigerant three times in two years without diagnosing the leak.

What we did

  • Removed and properly disposed of old condenser, air handler, and 240 ft of corroded refrigerant line set
  • Installed new Carrier Comfort 16 heat pump, 3-ton, 16 SEER2 — matched to the home's load calculation, not just the old unit's size
  • Replaced all refrigerant lines, drain pan, and condensate line with new R-454B-compatible materials
  • Pulled and passed Maricopa County mechanical permit; left inspection card on file with homeowner
  • Registered the 10-year parts warranty with Carrier on the homeowner's behalf

"Two other companies quoted me $11,400 and $13,200 for the same job and tried to pressure me into deciding the same day. Kraftec connected me with Martinez & Reyes, they walked me through what was wrong, and the quote was exactly what they said it would be. A year in, the new system has cut my July electric bill by about $90 a month."
