When the National Weather Service issues an Extreme Heat Warning for Tucson, it’s more than just a hot day—it’s a potentially dangerous situation. With summer temperatures often climbing well above 105°F, your comfort and safety depend on preparation and reliable cooling.
At City Heating and Cooling, we’re committed to helping Tucson families stay cool, safe, and informed during these intense heat waves.
🛑 What Is an Extreme Heat Warning?
An Extreme Heat Warning means temperatures or heat index values are expected to reach levels that pose a significant risk to health. This can lead to heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and other heat-related illnesses—especially for children, seniors, and those with certain health conditions.
In Tucson, extreme heat can also put extra strain on your air conditioning system, leading to unexpected breakdowns when you need it most.
💨 How to Prepare Your Home & AC System
1. Schedule a Preventive AC Check-Up Make sure your system is ready to handle triple-digit temperatures. Our 24/7 HVAC service ensures your AC is running at peak efficiency.
2. Change Your Filters A dirty filter restricts airflow and can cause your system to overwork—leading to higher bills and breakdowns.
3. Keep Your Thermostat Steady Avoid big temperature swings. Keeping your thermostat between 75–78°F during peak heat helps prevent system overload.
4. Use Ceiling Fans Fans help circulate cool air and take some pressure off your AC.

🚨 Signs Your AC Needs Immediate Attention
Weak or warm airflow
Strange noises or odors
System constantly running but not cooling
Water leaks around the unit
If you notice any of these issues, call City Heating and Cooling immediately. Waiting could lead to a total breakdown.
