Furnace & AC installs, repairs and plumbing in Catalina's high desert.

Picture Rocks Cooling, Heating & Plumbing installs and repairs furnaces, AC systems and heat pumps and handles plumbing in Catalina, from the Golder Ranch area to the homes near Catalina State Park, and up Oracle Road to SaddleBrooke. A repair visit is an $89 diagnostic, waived when you go ahead with the repair. A new-system quote is free, and there's no trip charge for the drive north.

Catalina sits higher and drier than the valley floor, with long stretches of extreme heat, colder winter nights, and water that runs hard enough to matter. If your home is farther out on a longer driveway or private road, mention it when you call. It doesn't change our process, but it helps us plan the visit.

A furnace that's too big short-cycles and wears out early; one that's too small runs all night and never catches up. So we don't size a furnace replacement off the old unit's label. We run a Manual J heat-load calculation for your home, pre-measure the space and the ductwork before install day, and verify the finished system with live instruments. You get the price in writing before work starts.

Want one system for both seasons? A heat pump gets the same load calculation, and we'll price it next to a furnace when both make sense. Qualifying residential installs carry our written 1-Year Money-Back Guarantee — read the terms.

A new AC installation starts around $10,500 for a 2- or 3-ton system and around $11,000 for a 4-ton. The written price is the price you pay; the only exception is something nobody could see before work started, like a line set leaking inside a wall, and we show you before we touch it. Financing runs $500 to $65,000 with terms up to 15 years, subject to approved credit.

No heat on a cold Catalina night? Book same-day furnace repair. Every furnace visit includes a gas and carbon monoxide safety check, and common repairs are priced flat: a flame sensor about $150, a hot-surface ignitor about $360, a blower motor about $725.

In summer it's the other way around. AC repair starts with the same $89 diagnostic, and common parts like a capacitor ($210–$250) or a contactor ($300–$375) are usually fixed in one visit. A spring AC maintenance visit is $129 one time, or included in the Home Wellness Club.

South on Oracle Road, Oro Valley and Casas Adobes are on the same routes, and to the west, Marana is where our trucks run almost every day. See every town on our service areas page.
