In 1886, William H. Bartlett, pilgrim and settler, built his 640-acre fruit farm. The farmer constructed a main homestead along with 13 outbuildings. However, it was William J. Murphy and three other innovators, Clark Churchill, M.W. Kales and William A. Hancock, who made Bartlett’s land inhabitable.

During that time, the city was called Coldwater. Its founder, William G. Moore, established the settlement when he arrived along the Agua Fria River. Most people who knew William called him Billy. Although it has not been proven, Billy was supposedly a part of the Quantrill Gang during the Civil War. Throughout his life, Billy was known for embellishing stories. Many of his stories mixed fact with fiction.

You feel sweaty and uncomfortable. You look for a fan, open window or any way possible to cool off. This is especially true in Phoenix, Arizona, where the average summer temperatures can reach the low- to mid-90s. There have even been record highs of 122 degrees. Being in that heat would definitely be uncomfortable without air conditioning. So if you need a new air conditioner or air conditioning repair Phoenix has many well-trained and experienced air conditioning experts at your service.

The reason that question comes up first is due to Phoenix's reputation for having extremely hot weather. In fact, on June 26, 1990, temperatures in the Phoenix metro area reached 122 degrees. No wonder why air conditioning in Phoenix is a necessity.

Phoenix is not only a great place to live, but it’s also a sunny place to live. It averages well over 200 days of sunshine each year with an added 80-90 days of mostly sunshine. It only gets a mere 7 inches of rain each year, on the average, so cooling off has to be done by air conditioning in Phoenix.

Visitors who aren’t familiar with the area say the summer heat is about as hot as going into a steam room or sauna, although humidity is not a problem in Phoenix. They describe the heat as a wall of hot air that almost chokes you. Can you go outside in this weather, they ask? Residents reply of course you can, but most people wait out those super hot days inside, cool and comfortable.

Few people could live without air conditioning in Phoenix, and it’s not healthy to do so. Young and mature people benefit from keeping the air temperature reasonably cool. When the interior of your house gets too hot it may contribute to dehydration which can be serious in the very young or old.

Other health problems caused by high temperatures are dry skin which may lead to other more serious medical problems or frequent nose bleeds. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke may also occur if your body’s internal temperature gets too high. Serious for any age, these medical emergencies need to be dealt with immediately.

There’s no question that air conditioning in Phoenix is something you need to have in your new house. Although half of the time the weather seems just beautiful, when the summer heat comes it’s impossible to function inside any building that does not offer air conditioning. Certainly there will be days when you won’t need to turn your AC on, but when the hot days arrive, you’ll absolutely need air conditioning for your health and comfort.

Have you thought about having service done on your air conditioning equipment? Every year prices go up, but the last two years parts and equipment have gone up as much as 30%. So you want to take care of your ac system that includes keeping your filter clean. This year not only has air conditioning parts and equipment gone up, but so has fuel costs so expect higher costs for everything. In the HVAC field good workers are getting hard to find, so you need to watch when a tech comes out to your home to make sure they know what they are doing. If the tech needs to call his boss to find out what’s wrong with your air conditioner you may be in trouble.

I hope everyone has a great summer and keep cool
