Climate Zones

Goodyear sits in IECC Climate Zone 13, where mild winters (design temp: 60°F) meet intense summers (design temp: 110°F). This means your heat pump needs to handle serious cooling demands while providing efficient heating during cooler months. At Palmetto, we understand Goodyear's climate inside and out, so we can help you choose a system sized and selected for exactly what you'll face year-round.

Goodyear Electricity Prices

Understanding electricity costs in Goodyear helps you make smarter decisions about home heating and cooling—especially as rates continue to climb.

Arizona electricity rates have risen from 12.5 cents per kWh in 2021 to 14.9 cents in 2024—a 19% increase in just three years that directly impacts your monthly energy bills.

Heat pumps offer a practical solution to rising costs. Because they're 2-3x more efficient than traditional HVAC systems, they use significantly less electricity to deliver the same heating and cooling comfort.

Over the lifespan of your system, this efficiency advantage compounds. As electricity rates continue their upward trend, your heat pump's lower energy consumption means greater savings and protection from future rate increases.

Goodyear Area Utility Providers

Goodyear residents primarily receive electricity from two major utilities: Arizona Public Service (APS) at 15.3¢ per kWh and Salt River Project (SRP) at 12.5¢ per kWh, based on 2023 data.

SRP's rates fall below both the national average of 16.0¢ and Arizona's state average of 14.0¢, while APS sits slightly above the state average but still under the national benchmark. Arizona's abundant solar resources and competitive utility market help keep electricity costs relatively moderate.

Because heat pumps run on electricity and deliver exceptional efficiency—often moving three times more heat energy than the electricity they consume—they can lower your total energy costs regardless of your utility provider. This efficiency advantage becomes especially valuable during Goodyear's extreme temperature swings.

Repair versus replace

When a heat pump is in need of repair it is worth considering whether a replacement would be a better investment. While each case is unique, we generally recommend investing in a new unit when repairs exceed $5,000.

$5,000
Recommended repair threshold

A heat pump's lifetime is impacted by a number of factors including environment, use and the quality of the unit. It's important to choose the right unit for your climate zone and home's unique attributes.

When you are in need of repair, we recommend choosing a service provider that is an expert in the heat pump brand you have installed, and checking online reviews to ensure you are investing in the right level of service.

Potential repair Cost range Description
Capacitor Replacement $150 - $400 Common issue when unit struggles to start or makes a humming noise. Capacitors store the electrical energy needed to start the compressor and fan motors.
Refrigerant Recharge $250 - $750 Needed when the system loses cooling or heating efficiency due to low refrigerant levels. Includes leak detection, repair of minor leaks, and recharging the system to the manufacturer-specified level.
Reversing Valve Replacement $450 - $900 Required when the unit cannot switch between heating and cooling modes. The reversing valve directs refrigerant flow and is unique to heat pump systems.
Compressor Replacement $1,500 - $3,000 Major repair needed when the unit fails to heat or cool entirely. The compressor is the heart of the system, circulating refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor coils.
Evaporator/Condenser Coil Replacement $1,200 - $2,800 Replacement needed when coils develop leaks or corrosion that cannot be economically repaired. Coil damage reduces heat transfer efficiency and can cause refrigerant loss.
Control Board Replacement $500 - $1,200 Required when the system has electrical failures or erratic behavior. The control board manages all system operations including defrost cycles, fan speeds, and compressor staging.
Full System Replacement $4,500 - $8,000+ When repairs exceed the value of the unit or multiple major components fail simultaneously. Includes removal of the old system and installation of a new heat pump with updated refrigerant lines and electrical connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, heat pumps make excellent sense in Goodyear. With design temperatures ranging from 60°F in winter to 110°F in summer, heat pumps efficiently handle both heating and cooling needs in a single system. At Arizona's current electricity rate of 14.9¢ per kWh, heat pumps typically cost less to operate than traditional HVAC systems while maintaining year-round comfort.

Goodyear homeowners can access heat pump technology through Palmetto's Comfort Plan with $0 upfront cost and included maintenance, or through direct purchase to claim up to $2,000 in federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act. Both options deliver energy-efficient climate control suited to Goodyear's hot summers and mild winters, making heat pumps a practical investment for local homes.

Heat pumps are exceptionally efficient in Goodyear's climate, particularly for cooling during the intense summer months when temperatures reach 110°F. Modern heat pumps can deliver 2-4 times more energy than they consume, making them significantly more cost-effective than traditional HVAC systems, especially with Arizona's current electricity rate of 14.9¢ per kWh.

Goodyear's mild winters, with design heating temperatures around 60°F, create ideal conditions for heat pump efficiency year-round. Unlike colder climates where heat pumps struggle, Goodyear's Climate Zone 13 allows these systems to operate at peak performance during both heating and cooling seasons, translating to lower energy bills and consistent comfort throughout the year.

The choice between leasing and buying a heat pump in Goodyear depends on your budget and preferences. Leasing through Palmetto's Comfort Plan requires $0 upfront and includes all maintenance and repairs, making it ideal if you want predictable costs without maintenance concerns. Buying outright means you own the equipment and may qualify for up to $2,000 in federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, plus potential local rebates.

Consider your financial situation and long-term plans. In Goodyear's hot climate (with summer temperatures reaching 110°F), heat pumps work hard and require regular maintenance. If you prefer hassle-free service and avoiding unexpected repair costs, leasing offers peace of mind. If you have available capital and want to maximize tax incentives while building home equity, purchasing may provide better long-term value.

Heat pump costs in Goodyear typically range from $5,000 to $15,000 for a complete installation, depending on your home's size, existing ductwork, and the system's efficiency rating. Given Goodyear's Climate Zone 13 conditions—with summer temperatures reaching 110°F—proper sizing and efficiency are essential factors that influence your total investment.

Palmetto offers two flexible options to fit your budget: a Comfort Plan with $0 upfront cost and predictable monthly payments that include all maintenance and repairs, or direct purchase where you own the equipment outright and may qualify for up to $2,000 in federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act plus local rebates.

In Goodyear's hot climate, heat pumps are typically worth it financially due to their exceptional efficiency. They use electricity at 14.9¢ per kWh to move heat rather than generate it, often delivering 3-4 times more heating or cooling energy than they consume. This efficiency translates to lower monthly utility bills compared to traditional HVAC systems, especially during Arizona's intense cooling season.

The financial value depends on your payment approach. Direct purchase qualifies for up to $2,000 in federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, maximizing long-term savings. Alternatively, Palmetto's Comfort Plan offers $0 upfront with predictable monthly payments and included maintenance, eliminating unexpected repair costs while you immediately benefit from energy savings. Both options typically pay for themselves through reduced energy bills over time.

In Goodyear, licensed HVAC contractors install heat pumps, including companies like Palmetto that specialize in home energy solutions.

HVAC is an umbrella term that stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning—it describes any system that controls your home's temperature and air quality. A heat pump is actually a type of HVAC system that both heats and cools your home by transferring heat rather than generating it, making it a single unit that replaces traditional separate heating and cooling equipment.

In Goodyear's climate, where temperatures range from 60°F in winter to 110°F in summer, a heat pump works year-round as your complete HVAC solution. With Arizona's electricity rate at 14.9¢ per kWh, heat pumps typically cost less to operate than traditional systems. Palmetto offers flexible options including our Comfort Plan with $0 upfront and included maintenance, or direct purchase with potential federal tax credits up to $2,000.
