Green Valley heating, AC & water heaters, priced in writing before we start.

Picture Rocks Cooling, Heating & Plumbing handles heating repair, AC repair and replacement, water heaters and plumbing for Green Valley homes along the I-19 corridor, in the Santa Cruz Valley below the Santa Rita Mountains. A repair visit starts with an $89 diagnostic, waived when you go ahead with the repair, and the repair price goes in writing before any work starts. Green Valley is inside our service area, so the drive down I-19 never shows up on your bill as a trip charge.

Most of Green Valley's neighborhoods are age-restricted retirement communities, and that shapes how we work here: plain explanations, written findings you can share with family before you decide, and no pressure. Hard water runs through most of the Santa Cruz Valley, too, so every plumbing visit includes a look at what it's doing to your water heater and fixtures.

No heat, a furnace that lights and shuts off, or a heat pump blowing cool air in January: book same-day furnace repair and we'll find the actual cause before quoting anything. Every furnace visit includes a gas and carbon monoxide safety check. Common flat-rate repairs: a flame sensor runs about $150, a hot-surface ignitor about $360, and a blower motor about $725.

If the furnace or heat pump is past saving, we say so and put the replacement price next to the repair price. A furnace replacement or heat pump installation starts with a Manual J load calculation, so the new system is sized to your home, not to the old unit's label. See all heating services.

Hard water shortens a water heater's life. Scale settles on the tank bottom and the heating surfaces, the unit runs longer for the same hot water, and the warning signs follow: rusty hot water, popping from sediment, or a damp spot at the base. If the tank itself is leaking, it gets replaced; a leaking tank doesn't get repaired.

Water heater replacement starts at $2,511 installed for an electric tank and $2,743 installed for a gas tank, quoted in writing before any work starts. If the heater still has life in it, a tank flush is $129 and a tankless descale is $175. If the scale keeps coming back, ask us to test the water; water treatment is priced off that reading, not a guess. Leaks, drains and fixtures are plumbing service, same crew, same written pricing.

Green Valley's cooling season is long, and an AC that quits in July doesn't wait for a convenient week. We run same-day AC repair: a capacitor runs about $210–$250 and a contactor $300–$375, each priced flat after the diagnostic finds the real cause.

When replacement makes more sense, AC installation starts around $10,500 for a 2- or 3-ton system and around $11,000 for a 4-ton, sized with a Manual J calculation and verified before we call the job done. Qualifying residential installs carry our written 1-Year Money-Back Guarantee: read the terms.

In September 2026, we repaired an AC condensate problem for a Green Valley homeowner. In October 2026, we ran an HVAC inspection for a Green Valley home sale.

Just up I-19, Sahuarita gets the same crews, with newer subdivisions where equipment is often still under a manufacturer's warranty. Farther north, our Tucson service page covers the city from Midtown to Rita Ranch, and Vail covers the southeast side along I-10. See every town on our service areas page.
