What Phoenix homeowners should know
Phoenix's extreme heat shapes nearly every home project. Summers routinely top 110°F, so air conditioning runs most of the year, systems wear out faster than in most of the country, and a summer breakdown is a safety issue.
Intense sun ages roofs, sealants and garage door parts quickly, and the summer monsoon brings dust storms, high winds and sudden downpours. Phoenix water is very hard, which scales water heaters, fixtures and appliances.
