Plumbing & HVAC Services in Tempe, AZ
Hansen Family Air Conditioning and Plumbing serves Tempe — the mid-century neighborhoods around downtown and ASU, the Maple-Ash and Mitchell Park historic districts, and the newer builds south of Elliot. Family-owned, licensed, and open 7 days a week and ready to provide 5-star home services to residential and commercial spaces.
We’re here 24/7
Tempe has some of the oldest housing stock in the East Valley, and that shapes almost every service call we take here. A large share of the city was built between the 1950s and 1970s, which means original cast iron drain lines, aging copper supply, and mature shade trees whose roots have had fifty years to find the sewer lateral. Lot sizes are small and homes sit close together, so a line replacement in Tempe often needs more care about access and landscaping than the same job in a newer suburb.
Tempe is also a rental-heavy city, and we work with a lot of landlords and property managers around ASU. Turnovers move fast, tenants call at inconvenient hours, and a water heater or HVAC system that fails in an occupied unit is an emergency whether or not it’s convenient. We schedule around that. We offer great financing options and provide multiple estimates to ensure our customers have options that best fit their immediate needs and budgets. Call (602) 805-4836 or contact our team.
Plumbing and HVAC Services We Offer in Tempe
HVAC Repair
Older Tempe homes were built when insulation standards were looser and ductwork ran through hot attics, which means an AC system here works harder for the same result. When it fails, we diagnose the real cause rather than topping off refrigerant and leaving. AC repair in Tempe, 7 days a week — we try for same-day, though we can’t promise it in peak heat.
HVAC Maintenance
If you own a Tempe rental, an annual tune-up is cheaper than a mid-lease failure and a hotel bill. If you live in the house, it’s what keeps a thirty-year-old duct system from taking the compressor down with it. We clean coils, verify charge, test electrical components, and clear the condensate line. HVAC maintenance in Tempe, best booked in early spring.
HVAC Installation
Replacing a system in an older Tempe home is rarely just swapping boxes. Undersized or leaking ductwork, an air handler crammed into a closet built for a 1968 unit, and attic runs with no room to work all change the job. We look at the whole system before quoting HVAC installation in Tempe, so the new equipment actually performs the way the label says.
General Plumbing
Fifty-year-old angle stops, original tub valves, corroded galvanized branch lines, and toilets that were builder-grade during the Nixon administration — Tempe generates a lot of everyday plumbing work. We also handle the fast turnaround repairs rental properties need between tenants. General plumbing in Tempe for homeowners and property managers alike.
Water Heaters
Tempe water heaters live hard lives: hard water, and in rentals, heavy back-to-back use. Many older Tempe homes still have the tank in an interior closet, where a failure means drywall and flooring damage rather than just a wet garage floor — which is a good argument for replacing on schedule instead of waiting. Water heater services in Tempe.
Drains and Sewers
This is Tempe’s signature plumbing problem. Pre-1980 clay and cast iron laterals plus decades of mature landscaping equals root intrusion, and repeat backups are the symptom. We camera the line so you can see the condition before deciding anything — and if you’re buying an older Tempe home, a pre-purchase scope is worth every dollar. Sewer and drain services in Tempe.
Water Line Repair and Replacement
Slab leaks and failing supply lines show up in Tempe as an unexplained water bill, a warm spot on the floor, or house-wide pressure loss. In homes with original copper under the slab, a first leak is often a sign that more are coming, which is when a reroute or repipe starts making more sense than another spot repair. Water line repair and replacement.
Commercial Plumbing Services
Tempe’s commercial mix runs from Mill Avenue restaurants to office suites along the 101 and small multifamily near campus. We handle grease line maintenance, commercial water heaters, restroom fixtures, and rooftop package units, scheduled outside your business hours where we can. Commercial plumbing services.

About Us
Hansen Family Air Conditioning and Plumbing is a family-owned company based in Mesa, working in Tempe since 2013. Tempe keeps us honest, because a city with this much older housing rewards technicians who actually diagnose and punishes the ones who guess. We’ll show you what we found, explain what it means for a house of that age, and give you a firm number before we start. No pressure, no scare tactics — just neighbors who know these houses.
Tempe Plumbing & HVAC Questions, Answered
Straight answers to what Tempe homeowners ask us most. Still not sure? Call (602) 805-4836 or contact our team — we’re open 7 days a week.
Why do Tempe homes have so many sewer line problems?
Age and trees. Much of Tempe was built between the 1950s and 1970s with clay or cast iron sewer laterals, and the mature shade trees those neighborhoods are known for have had fifty years to grow roots into the pipe joints. Repeat backups in the same fixtures usually mean the line, not the fixture.
Should I get a sewer scope before buying an older Tempe home?
Yes. A camera inspection on a pre-1980 Tempe property is one of the cheapest ways to avoid a five-figure surprise. It shows you the actual pipe condition, root intrusion, and any bellies in the line before you close rather than after.
Do you work with Tempe landlords and property managers?
We do. Tempe is a rental-heavy market, especially near ASU, and we handle turnover repairs, mid-lease emergencies, and scheduled maintenance across multiple units. Call (602) 805-4836 to talk about your properties.
How old is too old for a Tempe air conditioner?
Most systems here run twelve to eighteen years, shorter than the national average because of the length of our cooling season. Past fifteen, the question stops being whether it can be repaired and becomes whether repairing it is a good use of your money. We’ll give you an honest read rather than a sales pitch.
My Tempe home has low water pressure in one bathroom only. What is that?
A single-fixture pressure problem is usually local — a clogged aerator, a failing angle stop, or a corroded galvanized branch line serving that bathroom. House-wide pressure loss is a different and more serious problem, often a supply line leak. The distinction tells us where to look.
Do you offer financing?
Financing options are available. We’ll cover them when we quote the job, and it’s worth asking about our current specials when you book.
