Arizona HVAC leads

How Arizona homes are heated

Heating fuel in Arizona divides along geography. Statewide, the Census Bureau’s table B25117 for 2020-2024 shows electricity as the main heating fuel in 1,024,213 of 1,924,098 owner-occupied homes, 53.2%, and utility gas in 750,595, or 39.0%. Solar is a measurable fuel here: 27,787 owner homes, 1.4%, report it as their main heat source.

Renters push the electric share higher: across all 2,856,081 occupied homes, table B25040 (2020-2024 ACS) shows 59.9% on electricity and 33.3% on utility gas. For an HVAC buyer, fuel signals the kind of system in place, a heat pump or an air conditioner with electric heat on one side and a gas furnace with a split air conditioner on the other, and so the kind of replacement quote involved. These are housing figures, with no bearing on lead share.

Arizona HVAC contractor licensing

The Arizona Registrar of Contractors issues separate commercial, residential and dual licenses for each trade. Its license classifications page lists these for heating and air conditioning:

• R-39 Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Including Solar (residential): install and repair comfort air conditioning systems, including refrigeration, evaporative cooling, ventilating and heating, with or without solar equipment. A new circuit may be added to an existing panel, but not a new service panel.
• C-39 Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (commercial): refrigeration and evaporative cooling systems, plus wet, dry or radiant heating systems, with wet systems limited to 30 PSIG for hot water and 15 PSIG for steam.
• CR-39 Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (dual): the scopes of both the commercial C-39 and the residential R-39R licenses. A CR-79 dual license covers the same work including solar.
• B General Residential Contractor: the general builder scope, under which work on air conditioning systems must be subcontracted to an appropriately licensed contractor.

The page also notes that several older R-39R subclasses, such as warm air heating, evaporative cooling and ventilating, no longer accept new applications. A buyer that routes Arizona jobs to installers can confirm the classification on a contractor’s license with the Registrar. Federal refrigerant certification under EPA Section 608 applies on top of the state license.

Arizona counties by owner-occupied homes

Arizona’s ten counties with the most owner-occupied homes, with the share heated by utility gas and by electricity, from the ACS 5-year 2020-2024 county tables B25003 and B25117. These are housing statistics; they do not show where leads come from.

Maricopa County alone holds 1,127,888 owner homes, and 61.8% of them heat with electricity. Pima County, around Tucson, reverses that with 61.2% on utility gas. In the higher counties the two columns leave a large remainder: propane heats 15.2% of owner homes in Yavapai, 13.6% in Navajo and 13.3% in Cochise in the same county data (2020-2024 ACS).

What Arizona HVAC buyers filter on

Arizona HVAC buyers filterFilterA rule that decides which leads a buyer is offered, based on fields such as vertical, sub-type, state, ZIP code, homeownership or accident details. Glossary on the same kinds of fields as other home services buyers. Linked to the facts on this page:

• Project type: for example install, replace or repair, for heating or cooling. With this cooling load, air conditioning repair and replacement is where most Arizona buyers start.
• Homeowner status: the 1,924,098 owner-occupied homes are where new systems are approved (ACS 2020-2024, B25003).
• Timeframe: a cooling failure in July is a different request from a replacement planned for the winter.
• ZIP code: buyers choose ZIP codes their crews reach, which can separate Phoenix area work from Tucson or the high country.

When HVAC opens, Arizona buyers will set these filters per campaign, down to the ZIP code, as on Summit’s other home services leads. Once HVAC opens, HVAC leads will be exclusive by default, with shared delivery on request. The sample HVAC lead lists every field.
