Scottsdale Heating, from Postwar Block Homes to McCormick Ranch
Scottsdale leans on natural gas more than Mesa, Glendale or Tempe. In the Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 American Community Survey, 31.4% of occupied Scottsdale homes heat with utility gas and 65.7% with electricity. Among the five cities around Phoenix where we have heating pages, only Chandler has a higher gas share, and in Mesa, Glendale and Tempe it is closer to one home in five. Southwest Gas lists Scottsdale among the communities in its Arizona tariff. The median Scottsdale home was built in 1991, but nearly 29% date from before 1980, including about one in seven from the 1950s and 1960s.
Those older homes are part of the city’s history. Scottsdale’s historic register includes four postwar neighborhoods from its growth in the 1950s and 1960s: Village Grove, Town and Country Scottsdale, Villa Monterey and Sands North Townhouses. Town and Country’s 62 homes went on sale in January 1959, built with cinder block walls, foil-back insulation and drywall, and fully insulated to reduce cooling and heating costs. Beginning in the early 1970s with McCormick Ranch, the city added a series of large master-planned communities, so a Scottsdale heating call can mean a sixty-year-old block ranch or a 1990s two-story. Homes this age have usually been through several heating and cooling systems, and the ducts, electrical connections and drains are often older than the unit.
Winters are mild but not frost-free. NOAA’s 1991–2020 normals for Scottsdale Municipal Airport show an average January low of 43.4°F, about 3 nights a year at or below freezing, and roughly 1,140 heating degree days. Scottsdale is also stricter on permits than several nearby cities. Planning and Development Services requires a Minimum Mechanical Permit even for a like-for-like air conditioner or air handler replacement in the same location, and a Mechanical Permit to install, alter or repair any furnace. We’ll tell you whether a permit applies to your job.

Frequently Asked Questions — Heating Services in Scottsdale, AZ
Does Scottsdale require a permit to replace a furnace or air handler?
Yes. Scottsdale Planning and Development Services lists a like-for-like air conditioner or air handler replacement in the same location as needing a Minimum Mechanical Permit, and requires a Mechanical Permit to install, alter or repair any furnace. The city fines work completed without a permit. We’ll tell you whether your job needs a permit.
How common are gas furnaces in Scottsdale homes?
More common than in Mesa, Glendale or Tempe. The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 American Community Survey counts 31.4% of occupied Scottsdale homes heating with utility gas and 65.7% with electricity, meaning a heat pump or electric strip heat. In Mesa, Glendale and Tempe the gas share is closer to one home in five. If your home is on gas, a yearly check of the burners, flame, venting and heat exchanger keeps the furnace safe and efficient.
How do I know if my furnace needs repair or replacement?
Age (15+ years), rising energy bills, frequent repairs, and uneven heating are signs. We diagnose and give honest guidance.
Do you offer emergency heating repair in Scottsdale?
Yes. Our phones are answered 24/7. For true emergencies we dispatch a technician between 6 AM and 7 PM. Call (623) 240-9892.
I own a 1950s or 1960s block home in Scottsdale. Does that change the heating?
It can. Scottsdale’s postwar neighborhoods, such as Village Grove, Town and Country Scottsdale and Villa Monterey, were built with block walls, and Town and Country’s 1959 homes were insulated with foil-back insulation behind drywall to cut heating and cooling costs. After sixty years the original equipment has been replaced at least once, and the ducts, electrical connections and drains are often older than the unit and can be undersized for a modern system. We run a load calculation and inspect the ducts before recommending a heat pump or furnace.
