Picture Rocks Cooling, Heating & Plumbing repairs, replaces and maintains gas furnaces and heat pumps for homes across Tucson and the northwest side. What to expect: same-day heating repair, an $89 diagnostic that's waived when you go ahead with the repair, the repair price in writing before any work starts, and free quotes on a new system. Repairs carry our written 1-year parts and labor warranty; qualifying residential installations carry our 1-year money-back guarantee.

Tucson is known for its heat, but the furnace still has a job to do. Desert nights drop fast once the sun's down, and a system that only heats a few months a year is exactly the kind that fails quietly, then fails completely, usually on the coldest night of the stretch.

Heat pump or gas furnace: which heats your Tucson home?

If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the house, call 911 and Southwest Gas (877-860-6020) from outside, and don't flip switches. A CO alarm does not detect a natural-gas leak.

Many Tucson homes heat with heat pumps, not gas furnaces. That distinction matters when describing a problem: burners and flame sensors belong to gas furnaces, not heat pumps. If you're unsure which you have, look for the equipment type on an old service invoice rather than opening the equipment. Tell us what the paperwork says when you call.

Heating service in Marana, Oro Valley, Casas Adobes and the Catalina Foothills

We got our start in Picture Rocks in 2001, and the northwest side is home turf. We cover heating repair in Marana, from Dove Mountain to Continental Ranch; heating and cooling in Oro Valley, where foothill homes run cooler at night than open desert; furnace repair in Casas Adobes, where many homes date from the 1970s to the 1990s; and heating repair in the Catalina Foothills, where larger homes often run more than one zone. There's no trip charge anywhere in our service area.

Plan a fall heating check after Tucson's cooling season

Tucson has a long cooling season, March into October. Desert dust and monsoon silt load outdoor coils and filters, so the change to cooler weather is a useful reminder to plan a heating check, even if cooling seemed fine.

Before the appointment, write down what you've noticed: whether every room feels cold, whether airflow has changed, and whether the thermostat calls for heat without the house warming. Have the last service invoice handy if you have one. Ask about the checks appropriate to your equipment; the price goes in writing before work starts.

A one-time HVAC tune-up is $129. The Home Wellness Club includes the fall heating visit, a spring cooling visit and a whole-home plumbing inspection for $195 a year.

Heating questions from Tucson homeowners

Straight answers, no runaround. If yours isn't here, call us.

It starts with our $89 diagnostic ($129 commercial), waived when you go ahead with the repair. Typical flat-rate fixes: a furnace flame sensor about $150, a hot-surface ignitor about $360, a blower motor about $725. You get the exact price in writing before any work starts. Quotes on a new system are free: a furnace-only replacement runs around $5,000, and homes with central AC usually replace the furnace and AC together. More prices are on our pricing page.

Yes. We run same-day furnace and heat pump repair across Tucson and the northwest side. Call 520-655-8551 and we'll give you an arrival window, or book online.

A gas furnace that clicks but never lights may have an ignition or gas-supply problem. A heat pump blowing unheated air may have a refrigerant or heating-mode switching fault; an outdoor unit that stays iced over may have an airflow or defrost problem, though brief frost can be normal. These are possible causes, not diagnoses: note whether warmth returns and whether ice clears, without opening equipment or trying to relight it.

Leave the house, call 911 and Southwest Gas (877-860-6020) from outside, and don't flip switches. Don't stay inside to troubleshoot or book a heating appointment; a CO alarm does not detect a natural-gas leak.

Start with the diagnosis. If the repair fixes the problem at a fair price, repair it. If the furnace is older, has a cracked heat exchanger, or the repair costs more than it's worth, compare a furnace replacement or a heat pump. We put both numbers in writing and you decide.
