Understanding Desert Climate Challenges

Here in Arizona, our unique climate demands special attention to heating and ventilation systems. Temperature Control, Inc. understands that proper seasonal maintenance isn’t just about comfort—it’s essential for survival in our extreme desert conditions.

Summer Preparation (March-May)

Before the scorching heat arrives, consider these crucial steps:

• Clean or replace air filters monthly
• Check and clean condenser coils
• Inspect ductwork for leaks

• Schedule professional AC inspection

Peak Summer Management (June-September)

During intense summer months in Tucson and surrounding areas, your system needs:

• Regular filter inspections
• Monitoring of refrigerant levels
• Assessment of electrical connections
• Cleaning of condensate drains
• Professional performance checks

Fall Transition (October-November)

As temperatures become more moderate, focus on:
