About Us

Logo

Before Kilter Mechanical there was Hogi Yogi; a sandwich and frozen yogurt shop owned and operated by Brett Monik located across the street from Arizona State University. It wasn't until 2001 that the idea of Kilter Mechanical began to take form. The restaurant provided a modest living with little extra money for repairs. The refrigeration and air conditioning repairs always topped the list as the most frequent and most expensive. So, Brett decided to go to a refrigeration and electrical trade school and learn how to fix the equipment for himself.

After 10 months of night school, he graduated with "Top Tech" honors from R.S.I. and began working the next few summers for two different HVAC contractors. In 2004 they sold their restaurant and Brett started working full time as an HVAC technician. Through continued education and a tenacious desire for knowledge, he quickly rose through the ranks and began to blaze a new trail in the HVAC industry. He began developing Technical Training Programs, Quality Assurance programs, and leading Research and Development Programs to provide greater service to his customers and to continually better himself and those around him.

What makes Kilter Mechanical unique is that it was born from the customer side of the business. There are few in the HVAC industry to have ever felt the sting of a large air conditioning repair bill, or understand the anger and frustration of being taken advantage of by the so-called professionals of the heating and cooling world. At Kilter Mechanical the customer's perspective remains prevalent and in good kilter with all sales and services provided. An honest and fair approach towards keeping you cool and cozy.

I called Kilter after a previous company said the repairs to my AC would be too difficult for them. But Kilter came in and quickly diagnosed the problem with modern tools, and said it would be no problem for them to fix. They got it all working again the next day. Will definitely use them again.

These guys were great doing repairs on my condo. They came out right away assessed the situation. Made a temporary fix so I wouldn't be without AC and then made plans to come out again. They also helped a neighbor and friend of mine. She had just had surgery and the gent actually carried a bucket of water to empty for her and rigged it so she would not have to do as much work until the building fixed the ac as it was in the walls and their responsibility.

- Tracy T.

They went the extra mile. Bottom line - Customer service was on point and my AC is running great! I will definitely use in future! The guy came 2 hours before said timeframe! Amazing.

- Adam B.

Honest guys. Did all the work, and did not try to sell me things I don't need. Very trust-able people. I am very happy. My AC is running smoothly.

FAQ

The Air Handler is part of a Split System. It will typically be found in the attic, closet or ceiling. Its electrical components typically consist of a Blower Motor, Capacitor, and a Control Board. It also houses the Evaporator Coil.

The Condenser is part of a Split System. It will be found outside in the backyard, or on the roof of a condo. The electrical parts within the Condenser will typically include the Compressor, Fan Motor, Capacitors, a Defrost Board (Heat Pump), and a Contactor. The outside perimeter of the Condenser is the Condenser Coil.

The Condenser Coil removes the heat absorbed by the Evaporator Coil. It makes up the majority of the Condenser's perimeter.

The Evaporator Coil cools the air in the home. It is found inside an Air Handler, or attached to the end of a Furnace.

Synonymous with Ozone depletion, it’s a DuPont trademark that changed the world. Much like Band-Aid is to bandages though, Freon became synonymous with all Refrigerants whether it was an Ozone killer or not. The ‘bad’ Refrigerant (R22) in an Air Conditioner is no longer being produced, but there is still plenty around if your system needs it. The ‘good’ Refrigerants abound, but the main Refrigerant used in all new residential Air Conditioners is R410a, known by many different brand names.

The Furnace is part of a Split System. It will typically be found in the attic or a closet. It mainly consists of a Blower Motor, Inducer Motor, Control Board, Safety Switches, Gas Components, and of course, a burner compartment known as the Heat Exchanger.

An Air Conditioner absorbs heat from the inside air through the Evaporator Coil, and rejects that heat to the outside air through the Condenser Coil. To turn this Air Conditioner into a heater, the Heat Pump simply puts the process in reverse; hot air goes inside and cold air goes outside.

A Packaged System contains all the parts of a Split System found in one big package. They are always found outside, typically on the roof. The most common types are Gaspacks (gas heat), and Heat Pumps (electric).

A Split System just means that part of the system is inside (attic, closet, ceiling) and part of it is outside (backyard, roof). They are connected with refrigerant lines and electrical wires to operate.

A Blower Motor is the motor that moves the air inside the home.

Used to provide extra torque for the Compressor and other Motors. When they go bad, the Compressor and Motors struggle or fail to operate.

A Compressor is the heart of the system. It pumps refrigerant through the system by compressing a low temperature/pressure gas refrigerant into a high temperature/pressure gas refrigerant.

A heavy duty relay controlled by the Thermostat/control circuit to send power to the Compressor or motor.

During the heating season, a Heat Pump pulls heat from the outside air. In doing so, the internal temperature of the outdoor coil falls below freezing, and frost develops on the outside of the unit. Sensor(s) to the Defrost Board let it know the situation, causing the Defrost Board to turn off the outdoor fan motor and switch the unit into the cooling mode to quickly melt the frost and raise the internal temperatures. This will often cause the unit to groan, and for steam to be seen coming off of the unit.

A Fan Motor is the motor that is outside in the elements.

A Relay is a part controlled by the Thermostat/control circuit that sends power to a motor or other electrical component.

Thermal Expansion Valve, also know as a TXV. Controls the amount of refrigerant flowing into the Evaporator Coil.
