Essential HVAC Maintenance Tips for Year Round Comfort in Tucson


Maintaining Your Comfort in the Desert Southwest

Since 1949, Perry Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing has been the leading HVAC and plumbing company for Tucson, AZ and surrounding communities. Through our decades of experience serving Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, and Oro Valley, we’ve learned that preventative maintenance is crucial for optimal system performance and longevity in our unique desert climate.

Summer Cooling Preparation

As temperatures climb well above 100°F during Tucson summers, your air conditioning system needs to be in peak condition. Here are essential maintenance steps to prepare:

• Schedule professional AC maintenance in early spring
• Replace air filters monthly during peak cooling season
• Clear debris from outdoor condensing units
• Check and clean condensate drain lines
• Verify proper thermostat operation

Winter Heating Readiness

While our winters are mild compared to other regions, properly maintaining your heating system ensures comfort during those chilly desert nights. Consider these important tasks:

• Have your furnace professionally inspected annually
• Test carbon monoxide detectors
• Clean or replace furnace filters
• Check all vents for proper airflow
• Inspect ductwork for leaks

Plumbing Considerations

Desert living presents unique challenges for plumbing systems as well. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly emergencies:

• Check for pipe leaks, especially in exterior walls
• Inspect water heater operation and flush annually
• Test water pressure regulators
• Clean drain lines to prevent mineral buildup
• Examine outdoor spigots and irrigation systems

By serving communities throughout the greater Tucson area, including Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, and Oro Valley, we understand the specific challenges our climate presents to HVAC and plumbing systems. Regular maintenance not only extends equipment life but also helps maintain energy efficiency and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
