Hi all,
After a week or two of some nice cool weather here in Phoenix, the weather people had begun forecasting some VERY HOT temps were on their way.
Sure enough last Friday, 6-28-13, we hit a SCORCHING 116 degrees and then Saturday we FRIED under 117 degree skies!
The last two days it has been a blistering 113...and today it's supposed to be triple digits PLUS again!
^ ^ ^ That's a screen shot I took off the TV on Saturday, 6-29-13 showing 117 Degrees (top left corner).
I inserted the image of the Psychiatric Hospital over that part of the screen...because you might just have to be crazy to live here!
hahaha
---------------------------------------
A bit before this massive heat-wave hit...I'd noticed that my A/C unit was struggling to keep the house cool.
I'd had a problem with it last year, and Kevin Anderson from In-Phase Air Conditioning (Contact Information Below) had come out to take a look at it. He thought then I might get another year or two out of that faltering unit.
So I crossed my fingers and hoped for at least another two years.

But this summer when the ole A/C started struggling once more, I called Kevin again, and this time after a diagnostic look, it was suggested that a new unit would be the best move.
So Kevin gave me a quote for a Trane with a lot more cooling ability than my old one.
I thanked him and told him I'd let him know my decision soon and got to praying...and researching that model...and comparing it with past quotes on different units etc.
Fairly quickly I confirmed that he had given me a very good price for that unit, and felt good about having him do the install...and began putting funds together etc.
A number of days passed before I could call Kevin again...but when I did...he agreed to do the install for me the NEXT day!

So, last Thursday morning, when temps were already beginning their forecasted climb, Kevin and company showed up with my new Trane unit and a crane.
I'm sure for them, working in the hot sun, it seemed a lot slower...but to me...it felt like only a moment later they had the old unit off the roof and the new one installed...and cool air filling my home once again.
--------------------------------
Now after several days of use during triple digit temperatures I can say for sure that I love this new unit! It has kept my home comfortably cool even when it was 117 degrees outside.
While my old unit started and stopped abruptly...the new Trane "ramps" on and off...so it's much quieter too. And the thermostat stays rock solid on whatever temp I put it on.

If you need A/C work done...I'd definitely make Kevin and In-Phase A/C your first call!
He is extremely knowledgeable and each person on his team is very personable and hard-working!
After dealing with one questionable A/C company after another...it's great to feel like I found someone who can be trusted!
BTW...Kevin didn't charge me for either of the two service calls before the installation...and I understand that this is an In-Phase policy.

Thanks as always for stopping by my blog!
More artwork coming soon!
Congratulations on the new A/C. It would be an impossibility to live in Phoenix without one! I'm very familiar with your area. I used to have numerous relatives in Phoenix, and my parents also lived there for awhile when they were first married.
ReplyDeleteI HATE hot weather! Here, in the bowels of west Texas, it got up to 110 last week. Today the temperature dropped to a frigid 90. I suppose I should be thanking the Gods of Hades for small favors.....
Hi Jon,
DeleteYeah...I KNOW I couldn't make it here without a/c. Makes me wonder how those old desert rats who first started coming here LONG before modern a/c did it!!
BTW...that 90 degrees sounds absolutely FROSTY! My advice is just to throw another log on the fire and stay bundled up!
hahaha
Thanks for stoppin' by!
