Table of Contents
Tempe’s dense layout, older bungalow style homes near downtown, and newer construction further from campus mean AC, heating, and plumbing needs can look very different from one block to the next. The city’s tighter footprint near Tempe Town Lake also tends to hold onto heat longer during peak summer, which puts extra strain on cooling systems that are already working overtime. Whether you own a home or manage a rental property in Tempe, Ellsworth Home Services has provided air conditioning, heating, and plumbing services since 2008 as a family owned and operated business serving the East Valley.
A lot of Tempe’s housing stock includes older single family homes, duplexes, and rental properties near the university, many of which were built before central AC was standard and later retrofitted with ductwork that was not always installed with long term efficiency in mind. That kind of setup can make a home harder to cool evenly, even with a newer AC unit doing the work.
For homeowners and landlords alike, having one team that handles AC, heating, and plumbing means fewer calls to make and fewer surprises when something in an older Tempe property finally needs attention.

When to Consider AC, Heating, or Plumbing Service
In an older Tempe home or rental property, uneven cooling from room to room is often the first sign that ductwork added after the fact is not doing its job. A system that runs constantly without the house ever feeling truly cool, or a noticeable temperature difference between floors, both point to airflow problems worth a closer look.
On the plumbing side, shared walls and older pipe runs common in Tempe’s denser neighborhoods can make leaks harder to spot until they show up as a water stain or a spike in the water bill. Slow drains, a water heater struggling to keep up with tenant turnover, or fixtures that have simply worn out are all signs it is time to call.
Our Tempe AC, Heating & Plumbing Services
We offer the full lineup of air conditioning, heating, and plumbing services Tempe homeowners and property managers need, whether the property is a few years old or sits on one of Tempe’s older residential streets.
Air Conditioning
Tempe’s dense layout means cooling systems here often run longer through the day, so our air conditioning services are built to keep up with that demand.
- AC repair: Our AC repair service tracks down refrigerant, airflow, and thermostat issues before a full breakdown hits during peak season.
- AC installation: When a unit is past a reasonable repair, our AC installation service replaces it with equipment sized correctly for the home.
- AC maintenance: Routine AC maintenance visits help a system that runs long hours stay efficient instead of working harder than it should.
- Ductless mini splits: For additions, converted spaces, or rooms that never seem to cool evenly, we install ductless mini split systems as an alternative to extending older ductwork.
Whether your property is owner occupied or a rental, our goal is reliable cooling your tenants or family can count on.
Heating
Tempe winters rarely test a furnace hard, which means small problems can sit unnoticed until the one week heat is actually needed.
- Heating repair: Our heating repair service covers furnaces that will not light, cycle too often, or heat unevenly across the home.
- Heating installation: When a furnace is past a reasonable repair, our heating installation service replaces it with a properly sized system.
- Heating maintenance: Our heating maintenance visits check the parts most likely to fail after months of sitting unused.
A furnace that rarely runs still needs a look before winter, and our heating team makes sure yours does not fail on the one day it counts.
Plumbing
Tempe’s mix of older homes, duplexes, and rental properties means our plumbing team sees a wide range of pipe ages and fixture types across the city.
- Drain cleaning: Our drain cleaning service clears clogs that keep coming back, including buildup common in older shared drain lines.
- Leak detection: Our leak detection service finds hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs before they cause real damage.
- Fixture repair and replacement: Our fixture repair and replacement service covers faucets, toilets, and fixtures worn out from years of regular use.
- Water heaters: We install and repair both tank and tankless water heaters, which take on extra demand in shared or high turnover properties.
Whether the property is owner occupied or a rental, we work to fix the actual problem instead of a quick patch that will not hold.
Related Services in Tempe, AZ
Beyond AC, heating, and plumbing, we help Tempe homeowners and landlords take care of a few other systems that affect comfort and efficiency in older or densely built properties.
- Indoor air quality: Our indoor air quality services help clear out dust and stale air, especially in older homes with retrofitted ductwork.
- Water heaters: We service both tank and tankless water heaters, which are worth reviewing in any property with heavy or shared use.
- Attic insulation: Many older Tempe homes were built without modern insulation standards, and adding attic insulation helps your AC and furnace run less often.
Pairing any of these with your AC, heating, or plumbing service can make a real difference in a Tempe home that runs its systems hard.
