March 29, 2010

In the scorching heat of an Arizona summer, the last thing a homeowner wants is the air-conditioning system to break down.

For a limited time, an APS Qualified Contractor will perform a 16-point check-up on your AC unit for just $59.95. For a referral to an APS Qualified Contractor, call (602) 371-3636 in the Phoenix area or (888) 890-9730 outside Phoenix.

“Regular service and proper maintenance help AC systems run more efficiently and use less electricity,” said Jim Holbrook, APS Program Manager. “This is especially important in Arizona where more than 40 percent of the average annual electric bill in our hot state is spent on energy to run cooling equipment.”

For a typical home, the cost of cooling is about $400 to $500 per year, depending on the type of AC unit and the customer’s lifestyle. Proper maintenance will drastically reduce the added costs of expensive repairs and the hassle of breakdowns.

APS, Arizona’s largest and longest-serving electricity utility, serves about 1.1 million customers in 11 of the state’s 15 counties. With headquarters in Phoenix, APS is the principal subsidiary of Pinnacle West Capital Corp. (NYSE: PNW).
