Marana AC, heating & plumbing — home turf since 2001.

Need AC repair in Marana today? Picture Rocks Cooling, Heating & Plumbing runs same-day AC repair across Marana. The visit starts with an $89 diagnostic, waived when you go ahead with the repair, and the repair price goes in writing before anything gets replaced. Call 520-655-8551 and we'll give you the first window we can hold for your address.

We take our name from the neighboring Picture Rocks community, just west of the Tucson Mountains. It's where the company got its start in 2001. This isn't a town we drive in from across the city for; it's the desert we grew up working in. We cover all of Marana, from Dove Mountain, Continental Ranch and Gladden Farms to Cortaro, Tangerine Crossing and out into Avra Valley, and we handle whatever a Marana home throws at us, not just the AC.

That means a service call here could be a compressor that's been fighting Marana's open desert heat all summer, a water heater fighting the hard water that comes out of the tap, or ductwork packed with dust from the washes that kick up ahead of a monsoon storm. All three show up in this town regularly, and we treat all three as part of the job. We're proud members of the Marana Chamber of Commerce.

When a Marana AC quits in July, guessing isn't good enough. We test electrical connections, refrigerant pressures and airflow before we recommend a repair, so you're paying for the part that's actually broken, not the most convenient one on the truck.

The visit starts with our $89 diagnostic. You see the readings and the diagnosis, and the repair price goes in writing before anything gets replaced. Common flat-rate repairs run about $210–$250 for a capacitor, $300–$375 for a contactor and $700–$900 for a condenser fan motor. Our trucks are in Marana almost every day, so we run same-day AC repair here. Call 520-655-8551 and we'll tell you the first window we can hold for your address. Repairs carry a written 1-year parts-and-labor warranty.

What that looks like on a real Marana job: an evaporator coil replacement here in town. A leaking coil found on a second opinion was replaced, evacuated and charged, with the readings photographed. The full testing process is on our AC repair page.

A new AC in Marana starts around $10,500 for a 2- or 3-ton system and around $11,000 for a 4-ton, whatever brand goes in. The quote follows a home visit, and that visit is free. Marana runs from older homes near Picture Rocks to newer builds in Gladden Farms and Dove Mountain, so we don't size a replacement off the old unit's nameplate. We run a Manual J heat-load calculation, test the ductwork, and verify the finished system with measureQuick readings before we call it done.

Qualified residential installs carry our written 1-Year Money-Back Guarantee. Financing runs from $500 to $65,000 with terms up to 15 years through Optimus and Wisetack, subject to approved credit, including our 0% APR plans (there's always one; how long the 0% lasts depends on the plan). See financing options.

Compare AC installation and replacement, a heat pump that cools and heats from one outdoor unit, or a ductless mini-split for a room the ducts never reached. Every mini-split install is backed by our written warranty. See one in a real home: a ductless mini-split installation in Marana.

Marana's dust and monsoon silt load filters and outdoor coils every summer, and a dirty coil makes the compressor work harder through the hottest months. A one-time AC tune-up is $129. Or join the Home Wellness Club for $195 a year or $19.99 a month: a spring cooling tune-up, a fall heating tune-up and a whole-home plumbing inspection, plus priority scheduling, 20% off repairs and a $49 diagnostic instead of $89. If you heat with a heat pump, it runs all year, so both visits count. See what an AC tune-up covers.

Marana gets a handful of cold nights every winter, and they catch an older system off guard. We run same-day furnace repair, especially for a no-heat call. Every visit includes a gas and carbon monoxide safety check, starts with the same $89 diagnostic, and the repair is priced in writing first. A hot-surface ignitor is about $360 and a blower motor about $725. See furnace repair.

Many Marana homes heat with a heat pump rather than a gas furnace. When one cools but won't heat, or heats but won't cool, we test the controls, reversing valve, airflow and refrigerant circuit before quoting a fix. Replacing a furnace or heat pump gets the same Manual J sizing as an AC. See furnace installation, heat pump repair and replacement or all of our heating services.

Picture Rocks Cooling is a plumbing company too, and we run same-day plumbing service in Marana from the same dispatch as the AC side. A residential plumbing service call is $89, waived when you go ahead with the repair, and the job is priced flat in writing before work starts. Drain cleaning through an accessible cleanout is $225. A sewer camera inspection is $129. Finding a leak we can see is included in the $89 call.

Marana's hard water is rough on water heaters. Installed prices start at $2,511 for an electric tank water heater and $2,743 for a gas tank. Tankless installs are quoted in your home, and the estimate visit is free. See water heater repair and replacement, drain cleaning, leak detection, water treatment or all plumbing services.

In Marana's newer tracts, start with what the house is doing, not an assumption that the equipment is too new to have a problem. Tell us which rooms feel warm, when it happens, and whether the system runs steadily or keeps stopping and restarting.

Repeated, unusually brief cooling runs are short cycling; a long run during extreme heat can be normal. A technician typically checks airflow, thermostat operation and equipment condition before recommending a repair. The price goes in writing before work starts.

Desert dust and monsoon silt load filters and outdoor coils. Check the filter after a dusty stretch rather than waiting for the next calendar reminder. Note when it was last changed so you can give us that detail when you call.

If your property uses septic, mention that when describing a drain problem. Tell us whether one fixture is slow or several are backing up, and have any drain or septic records handy. Those details help frame the problem without assuming the blockage is inside the house or in the septic system.

Ask us to confirm the scope of plumbing work for your property before scheduling; a drain concern is not automatically a request for septic service.

Give us your street address and nearest cross streets, not just the Marana ZIP code. Include gate instructions or anything that makes the property hard to find. Ask for an appointment window for your address rather than estimating arrival from the distance to our shop.

In September 2026, we completed an AC capacitor replacement in Marana.
