Goodyear homeowners have access to Arizona's Efficiency Arizona programs, which offer substantial rebates for heat pump installations and home energy efficiency improvements through September 30, 2031. The HEAR program provides up to $14,000 in point-of-sale rebates for qualifying heat pumps and electrification projects for low- and moderate-income households, while the HOMES program offers up to $4,000 for whole-home efficiency retrofits. Combined with the federal IRA tax credit of up to $2,000, homeowners can significantly reduce the cost of upgrading to efficient heating and cooling systems.
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.
Climate Zone 13
Very hot climate zone with hot year-round temperatures.
Climate Zone 13A
Avg. extreme winters: 60° to 65° F
Climate Zone 13B
Avg. extreme winters: Above 65° F
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.
Price of Energy: Arizona vs National Average
| Year | Arizona Rates | US Average |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 12.5¢ | |
| 2022 | 13.7¢ | |
| 2023 | 14.0¢ | |
| 2024 | 14.9¢ |
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.
Goodyear Utilities Electricity Rates
| Utility | Rate per kWh |
|---|---|
| APS | 15.30¢ |
| SRP | 12.50¢ |
| AZ Average | 14.00¢ |
| US Average | 16.0¢ |

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.
Potential repair costs
| 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. |
