The desert. A place of scorching sun, endless skies, and, ironically, a constant battle against heat. While it may seem counterintuitive, high temperatures, humidity, and dust can wreak havoc on your air conditioning system. When the mercury climbs above 110 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s essential to understand the challenges your AC faces and how to keep it running smoothly.
The Desert's Triple Threat: Heat, Humidity, and Dust
Heat: It's no secret that the desert is hot. But did you know that extreme heat can cause your AC to work overtime? This constant strain can lead to premature wear and tear on vital components.
Humidity: While the desert is known for its dry climate, humidity can still be an issue. Even low levels of moisture can impact your AC's efficiency. When the air is humid, your AC has to work harder to remove moisture from the air, putting additional stress on the system.
Dust: Desert storms can bring in massive amounts of dust, which can clog your AC's filters and coils. This buildup reduces airflow, hindering your system's ability to cool your home effectively.
