When it comes to the Phoenix heat, choosing the right misting system installation company can make all the difference. With temperatures regularly soaring above 100°F in the summer, an expertly designed and installed misting system can create a cool, comfortable oasis on your patio, pergola, or outdoor business space. But with so many providers claiming to be the best, how do you separate the pros from the pretenders?
In this article, we’ll walk through the key things to look for when selecting a misting system installation company in Arizona, and why working with a licensed, experienced provider like Element Mist is essential for performance, safety, and long-term value.
1. Check for an Arizona ROC License
This is your first and most important step. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) issues licenses to professionals who meet strict standards for training, legal compliance, and workmanship.
Hiring a company with an active ROC license means:
• You’re protected if something goes wrong.
• The company is legally allowed to perform contracted work in Arizona.
• You’re not risking your investment on an unqualified installer.
Look for a valid ROC# on the company’s website or ask for it before signing any agreement. Element Mist is fully licensed, bonded, and insured, giving you total peace of mind.
2. Ask About Experience in Arizona Climates
Installing a misting system in Arizona isn’t like installing one in California, Texas, or Florida. Our dry, desert climate requires specialized system design, especially to:
• Maximize cooling efficiency in low-humidity conditions
• Prevent mineral buildup from hard water
• Ensure components hold up in extreme heat and sun exposure
An experienced Arizona-based installer will know how to:
• Select the right pump type and PSI for optimal mist
• Use UV-resistant, high-grade materials that won’t degrade in the sun
• Position nozzles for even cooling without wet spots
Element Mist has years of experience designing systems that thrive in Arizona’s toughest weather.
3. Evaluate the Quality of Materials and Equipment
The best misting system is only as good as the components used. Unfortunately, many companies cut corners by using cheap parts — especially in DIY-style installations.
Professional-grade systems should include:
• Stainless steel .012” ultra-fine nozzles (like the ones used by Element Mist)
• High-pressure pumps (1000 PSI or more)
• UV-rated tubing and fittings
• Filtration systems to prevent clogs and extend lifespan
Don’t be afraid to ask what brands and materials your installer uses. A good company will be transparent and proud of their equipment.
4. Look at Reviews, Photos, and Referrals
The proof is in the results. A top-tier misting installer will have:
• Before-and-after photos of completed projects
• Positive reviews on Google, Yelp, and Facebook
• Testimonials from satisfied homeowners and business clients
You can also ask for a few references — reputable companies will happily connect you with past customers who can speak to their professionalism, timeliness, and quality of work.
For example, here’s several customer reviews of Element Mist’s work:
5. Make Sure They Offer Custom Design & Professional Installation
Cookie-cutter misting systems don’t work for every outdoor space. Look for a company that:
• Measures and assesses your space during a free consultation
• Customizes nozzle placement for maximum cooling and coverage
• Installs the system cleanly and discreetly, with minimal visible tubing
Element Mist treats every project as unique. Whether you have a small patio or a sprawling commercial courtyard, we design systems tailored specifically to your layout and use case.
6. Don’t Forget Post-Install Support
Even the best misting systems need occasional maintenance or cleaning. Ask if your installer offers:
• Ongoing service packages
• Winterization options to protect your system during colder months
• Quick-response support in case of any issues
Companies that care about your satisfaction will be there long after the install is complete.
7. Avoid Red Flags
Beware of installers who:
• Don’t list an ROC license
• Require large upfront payments with no contract
• Use vague terms like “pro-grade” without explaining what that means
• Rush the install without asking about your needs or preferences
If it feels shady, it probably is. Trust your gut — and your research.
