Year-Round Comfort Solutions for Southern Arizona Homes
Since 1949, Perry Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing has been the leading HVAC and plumbing company for Tucson, AZ and surrounding communities. Our decades of experience serving Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, and Oro Valley have taught us that desert living requires specialized knowledge for optimal home comfort.
Summer Cooling Efficiency
In our scorching Tucson summers, maintaining your air conditioning system is crucial. Regular maintenance helps prevent system failures during those critical triple-digit days. We recommend:
• Scheduling pre-season AC inspections in early spring
• Replacing air filters monthly during peak cooling season
• Keeping outdoor units clear of debris and vegetation
• Setting programmable thermostats to optimize energy usage
Winter Heating Preparedness
While our winters are mild compared to other regions, desert nights can get surprisingly cold. Proper heating system maintenance ensures comfort during those chilly evenings. Consider these tips:
• Annual heating system inspections before winter
• Checking for proper insulation in attics and walls
• Sealing any air leaks around windows and doors
• Testing carbon monoxide detectors regularly
Plumbing Considerations for Desert Living
Desert conditions present unique challenges for plumbing systems. Hard water, common in the Tucson area, can affect appliance efficiency and pipe longevity. We recommend:
• Regular water heater maintenance
• Installing water softeners when necessary
• Checking for pipe insulation before winter
• Monitoring water pressure regularly
Regional Considerations
Each area we serve has specific needs:
– Catalina Foothills residents often need specialized solutions for hillside homes
– Oro Valley homeowners frequently request energy-efficient upgrades
– Casas Adobes properties benefit from desert-adapted HVAC solutions
Remember that preventive maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs. Our desert climate demands particular attention to HVAC systems, especially during seasonal transitions. Regular maintenance not only extends equipment life but also helps maintain optimal energy efficiency, which is crucial in our high-demand cooling seasons.
By following these guidelines and maintaining regular professional service schedules, homeowners in the greater Tucson area can ensure their comfort systems operate efficiently year-round, regardless of what our unique desert climate throws their way.
