If we look at the National Weather Service forecast for April 21st, 2014 we find that they are predicting ninety-eight degrees Fahrenheit for the Valley of the Sun. The interesting news is that over the next ten days the daily temperatures will rise and fall from today’s high and perhaps as low as eighty degrees but not approaching the century mark during those days.
Most of us have been running our air conditioners to cool off our homes when we return from work. No one wants to suffer with the high nineties and our homes getting too hot to be comfortable.
Were you one of the folks that found their air conditioner wasn’t working when it was first fired up this spring? A tune-up special service from Aaron’s Mechanical Services would have prevented that nasty “no cool air” surprise.
Based on the weather forecast it looks like the first 100 degree day for the Phoenix Metro Area just may well be next month rather than April. After all the average first one-hundred degree day is May 13th. Will it hold off that long this year? I’m betting we will see a 100 (plus) degree day before that this year.
While many locations have seen snow in the last few days I think it is safe to say spring has returned to much of the country.
Did You Know?
Across the Phoenix Metro Area it is not uncommon for a difference of ten degrees or more from the highest temperature to the lowest at any given time. Greater Phoenix covers a large area. Your location may be at a higher elevation or have more surrounding vegetation, for example. Official readings in Phoenix may be as much as five or ten degrees different than other parts of the Valley of the Sun (maybe hotter, maybe cooler) at any point in time.
At any single point in the Valley of the Sun the temperature may shift 40 degrees during a twenty-four hour cycle.
Over the last one hundred years the average daytime high in Phoenix Arizona has gone up. This is attributed to the loss of vegetation and the increase in pavement and buildings.
The official temperature for Phoenix is taken by the National Weather Service at Sky Harbor International airport. They use what is called an Automated Surface Observation System (ASOS) to record weather data.

The quick, short answers is “It all depends on the cost, terms and conditions. The real test comes in how your service or repair is handled when you need them.
Sooner or later we all face that time when the factory warranty expires on your air conditioner or HVAC unit comes to an end. What to do about future repairs? Make no mistake about it your AC unit is going to need both routine maintenance and emergency repairs.
Here in the Valley of the Sun, a typical year will mean one-hundred to one-hundred and forty days where you air conditioner will need to be running.
On a hot summer day, you know the one, when temperatures are running one-hundred-fourteen and that’s in the shade and you are told that they can’t work you in until tomorrow or the next day.
When you have an extended warranty you seldom can select the company that does your service work. Can that be an issue? The company that offers the plan must make a profit to stay in business and that means they hire a service company who will work for the very least amount of money. Will that company have experienced technicians or will they be ones that are just out of school. Or will they have gone to school at all.
One consideration is the monthly cost of your extended service plan. If you pay just under twenty dollars a month for a plan with a modest deductible you will find that after three years you will have paid nearly four hundred dollars. That could have covered several service calls.
Many times these plans are sold with tales of disastrous bill to cover a complete failure of your HVAC system. Be very careful of the terms of these extended service contracts. What can they use to exclude your repair from being covered? If you forget to call them to do routine service will that violate a requirement and the failure be blamed on you and hence not covered.
Some HVAC salesmen push extended warranties because they’re so profitable to the company that sells them. They’re banking on the fact that your equipment is unlikely to break down before the extended warranty expires. If they’re banking on it, maybe you should, too, and save your money.
Some companies even pay their contractors extra if they can talk homeowners into buying extended warranties. And if you buy an extended warranty from someone other than the manufacturer, it’s possible that the manufacturer won’t honor it. That means you have to pay for the repair yourself and then try to get reimbursed by the company that sold you the warranty.
These extended service contracts are a perfect example of “Buyer Beware!”
Looking for fast and fair HVAC service? Aaron’s Mechanical Services wants you to stay comfortable all year round. Most important we want you to spend the least amount of money possible while you stay comfortable. If your air conditioning system or HVAC unit needs service or replacement please think of us and call at 623-388-4436 and we will come to you and solve your cooling Unit’s service needs.

With a high of ninety degrees Fahrenheit predicted for this Saturday and what we know about average temperatures this ( Spring time ) time of year this Saturday morning may be one of the best mornings to make a family visit to the Phoenix Zoo.
The low Saturday ( April 19th 2014 6:00am ) is predicted to be in the low sixties. The Phoenix Zoo opens at 9:00am and closes at 5:00pm this time of year. You can see the admission price and year-round hours on their web site at http://phoenixzoo.org/plan-your-visit/hours-rates/ .
The Phoenix Zoo opened in 1962 and is the largest privately owned, non-profit zoo in the United States. In the spring of 1961, Robert Maytag, grandson of the founder of Maytag appliance company, called a group of friends together to discuss the idea of building a zoo in Phoenix. The idea soon took off as Maytag and his “dedicated amateurs” proceeded to get support from other Valley leaders.
“It was a period of delightful, enthusiastic chaos,” recalled Nancy Maytag Love. “We were absolute beginners. We didn’t have any idea what we were getting into, but our enthusiasm and the certainty that we were building a great zoo carried us through every challenge we faced.”
Robert Maytag’s unexpected death was nearly the end for the zoo. Nancy Maytag stepped forward, declaring the zoo would be completed on schedule as a memorial to her husband. It was the call to action the community needed. Individuals, families, clubs and companies all came forward with help, giving wherever it was most needed.
“Build the Zoo in ’62!” began gracing buses, delivery trucks, moving vans, shopping carts, grocery bags and vacant buildings. Family memberships were sold for $5.00 a year. Every news reporter, station manager, and radio announcer was hit up for a promotional spot. Social clubs, professional societies, auxiliaries, school groups, unions, sororities and fraternities all felt the pinch. On November 21, 1962, Nancy Maytag cut the ribbon before a crowd of thousands, officially opening the Maytag Zoo, named in her husband’s honor.
With the name changed to the Phoenix Zoo in 1963 to encourage community involvement, the early years of the zoo continued to be a financial struggle. Earl Bimson, a banker, stepped forward to provide the zoo with the strong leadership and stability it needed for the next 13 years.

Did You Know?
Historians believe people have eggs for thousands of years to celebrate the spring equinox, which was often around the start of the new-year prior to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. Christian missionaries adopted the existing pagan celebrations and began using eggs as a symbol of new life and resurrection and to represent Jesus's emergence from the tomb. Many cultures still decorate eggs to mark the start of spring and new life.
Many live chicks, ducklings and bunnies are sold this time of year.
Fabergé created fifty stunning gold or jeweled Easter eggs for the Russian Imperial family from 1885 through to 1916? Forty-two still survive today.
Aaron’s Mechanical Services wishes you an eggceptional celebration this holiday weekend!
