Keeping Your Cool in the Desert Heat
Living in Arizona means dealing with intense heat for much of the year, making a properly functioning air conditioning system not just a luxury but a necessity. At Temperature Control, Inc., we understand the unique challenges that homeowners face across Tucson, Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, and surrounding communities when it comes to maintaining optimal indoor comfort.
Prevention is Better Than Repair
Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring your HVAC system performs efficiently throughout the scorching summer months. Here are essential tips to keep your system running smoothly:
- Replace or clean air filters monthly
- Clear debris from outdoor units
- Check and clean condensate drain lines
- Inspect ductwork for leaks or damage
- Schedule professional maintenance twice yearly
Signs Your System Needs Attention
Don’t wait for a complete breakdown before calling for service. Watch for these warning signs:
• Unusual noises during operation
• Inconsistent cooling
• Higher than normal energy bills
• Poor airflow
• Frequent cycling on and off
