Beat the Arizona Heat: 5 Essential Tips to Keep Your AC Running Strong This Summer

Summer in Glendale and the greater Phoenix area is no joke. With triple-digit temps blazing well into the night, your air conditioner isn’t just a comfort — it’s a lifeline. At Red Wolf Mechanical, we’re here to help you stay cool and avoid mid-summer AC emergencies with these five essential tips for keeping your system in peak condition.

1. Change Your Filters Monthly Dirty filters make your system work harder than it should, leading to higher energy bills and premature wear. Make it a habit to replace or clean your air filters every 30 days — especially during the hottest months of the year when your system runs nonstop.

2. Clear the Area Around Your Outdoor Unit Keep your condenser unit clear of weeds, debris, and anything that blocks airflow. We recommend maintaining at least two feet of space around the unit to prevent overheating and reduced performance.

3. Schedule Your Mid-Summer Tune-Up A preventative AC tune-up is the best way to catch problems early and avoid costly repairs. Our $39 Tune-Up and Deep Clean is designed to keep your system running efficiently — and it includes a full 20-point inspection. Book now before peak season fills up!

4. Watch for Warning Signs Warm air, poor airflow, strange smells, or high humidity in your home could signal that something’s wrong. Don’t wait for a full breakdown — our techs offer free second opinions and can often fix the issue same-day.

5. Join the Den Defense Plan Our exclusive membership gives you priority scheduling, discounts on repairs, and annual system revitalizations to maximize efficiency and extend the life of your unit. It’s one of the smartest ways to beat the heat and protect your investment.
