Best Solar Roof/Shingles Installation in Tucson AZ
Recently one of my A/C's died on me. Since they were both installed in 2009, I didn't want to take the chance of the other dying in mid Summer so I replaced them both. I've been doing business with Intelligent Design and Andrew for 3 1/2 years (since we moved to Oro Valley). Andrew & Co. (Jake and Owen) recommended the Amana 16 SEER A/C's with the variable speed (top of the line), which have lifetime warranties for the original owner. The new A/C's were effortlessly and professionally installed in one day. I also upgraded the air purification system (Scrubbers) for my home by adding Respicaire air purifiers. The entire process was effortless, professional, friendly and responsive. My October 2017 TEP bill was $140; my October 2018 bill was $55--the first full month of operation with my new A/C's. Andrew & Co. along with Solar Solutions also installed my 8KW solar system, which has worked as planned to reduce my monthly/annual electrical usage.
Andrew has a great team and they aim to please. I enthusiastically recommend them!!

This is not a complaint about the technician but instead about the ethics of the company owner, Brandon. Strongbuilt will charge you an absurd price for minimal work. Details below. True story from July 2023.
My 84 year old father had been without AC for a few days. The technician replaced an expired compressor capacitor. Plus added a hard start kit due to high current draw. You can buy both of these parts from Amazon for less than $50. Total bill rom Strongbuilt was $859. Less than 30 minutes of labor, less than $50 of parts. $859.
When I called the owner, Brandon, to dispute the charges, he had no remorse, and attempted to dispute the cost of the parts. Look it up yourself. 80/5 uF cap, and hard start kit for a 4 ton AC. I asked how he can justify $800 for less than 30 min of work. He said that's what it costs. Their hourly rate is about $1600 per hour.
They won't tell you what their hourly rate is on the phone. But now you know. They won't tell you what a typical cost is for a simple repair. But when you get your $800+ bill, you'll have been warned.
After multiple calls, they did refund most of the money. I made the repair for my father myself. You can too. Watch a YouTube video. Save yourself the headache. Or call a reputable business, but don't call Stongbuilt.
