Arizona summers aren’t just hard on people, they’re brutal on your home’s electrical system. Extreme heat puts extra strain on air conditioning units, increases demand on wiring and breakers, and can shorten the lifespan of electrical components.
When temperatures soar past 110°F, your A/C runs nonstop, pulling more amps than usual. Over time, this can cause overheated wiring, tripped breakers, and even premature panel failure. Nothing is worse than getting home from a long day at work and finding out your A/C blew a breaker. Outdoor panels and wiring in Phoenix, Peoria, and other Valley cities also take a beating in direct sunlight, which can crack casings and weaken insulation.
How to protect your system:
- Schedule a summer electrical inspection in Arizona before the heat wave hits.
- Keep outdoor panels shaded but ventilated.
- Upgrade older wiring or undersized breakers with a licensed Phoenix electrician.
- Make sure your A/C unit has a dedicated circuit.
