McCormick Ranch Homes
Why do McCormick Ranch homes need a rooftop-unit specialist?
McCormick Ranch was established in 1972 as one of Arizona's first master-planned communities, and most of its homes, townhomes, and patio homes went up in the 1970s and 1980s. That era of Scottsdale construction leans on two roof types — flat polyurethane foam and Spanish tile — and a large share of homes cool with rooftop package units rather than ground-mounted split systems.
Replacing a package unit on a decades-old foam roof is a precision job: the seal around the sheet-metal curb is the only thing standing between a monsoon microburst and water in your living room. A home on its third or fourth generation of equipment is almost always running on original attic ductwork too, so we test and seal ducts as part of any changeout instead of bolting new equipment onto a leaky delivery system.
Crane-lift changeouts done right
Rooftop package unit replacement means a crane day, a properly flashed and resealed curb, and a City of Scottsdale mechanical permit. We handle the lift, the seal, and the inspection paperwork as one job.
HOA architectural review
The McCormick Ranch Property Owners' Association reviews exterior equipment changes — converting from rooftop to ground-mounted equipment, or relocating a condenser, needs approval and screening from greenbelt and lake sightlines. We plan placement so the paperwork passes the first time.
Snowbird and lock-and-leave homes
Many Ranch homes sit empty through summer. Idle systems dry out condensate traps and fail capacitors quietly. A pre-departure check plus a smart thermostat you can watch from out of state prevents the October surprise.

Good to Know
McCormick Ranch HVAC questions
Do I need HOA approval to replace my AC in McCormick Ranch?
A like-for-like rooftop package unit swap generally stays within the existing footprint, but relocating equipment or switching from rooftop to ground-mounted requires McCormick Ranch Property Owners' Association architectural review, with screening so the unit isn't visible from greenbelts or neighboring lots. We plan installs to satisfy both the HOA and the City of Scottsdale permit.
Will replacing a rooftop unit damage my flat foam roof?
Not when the curb is handled correctly. The unit is crane-lifted, the sheet-metal curb is inspected, and the foam seal around it is redone so monsoon rain can't follow the penetration into the house. A sloppy reseal is the number-one cause of post-changeout roof leaks on 1970s-80s Scottsdale homes.
Is a permit required for an HVAC changeout in Scottsdale?
Yes — the City of Scottsdale requires a mechanical permit for equipment replacement, and your contractor should pull it. Inspections check electrical disconnects, equipment sizing, and condensate routing.
We're gone all summer — what should we do before leaving?
Schedule a pre-departure inspection, leave the system cooling at a safe setback rather than fully off, and add a smart thermostat you can monitor remotely. In SRP territory, enrolling that thermostat in SRP's Bring Your Own Thermostat program earns a $50 credit plus $25 per season.
Are there SRP rebates for a new AC in McCormick Ranch?
Yes. SRP Cool Cash pays $75-$225 per ton depending on compressor type — up to $1,125 on a 5-ton variable-capacity system — and SRP's duct repair rebate covers 75% of costs up to $400. Applications must go in within 6 months of installation; we handle the paperwork.
