Am I on TEP or Trico in Marana?
Look at your bill. Pima County lists Trico Electric Cooperative as serving northwest Tucson and Marana, and other parts of the area are TEP. TEP's Efficient Home rebates only apply to TEP customers.
Is my new-build heat pump still under warranty?
Check the model and serial number against the manufacturer's warranty terms and whether the unit was registered. Parts coverage is common; labor coverage varies by brand. Tell the company you're matched with what you find so they can check before quoting.
What should I do after a monsoon dust storm?
Change or check the filter and look at the outdoor coil. Dust cuts airflow and makes the system work harder in the hottest weeks of the year. If the coil is caked, ask the pro to clean it during a tune-up.
