Phoenix homes, climate and appliances

Most homes are single-story with laundry in the garage or a utility room, and many have a second refrigerator in the garage.

Summer garage temperatures far exceed most refrigerators' rated range, and monsoon dust storms clog coils and vent hoods.

General hardness
Very hard. The utility's annual water quality report gives exact figures.

Phoenix through the year

From May to September, garage temperatures in Phoenix routinely exceed what most refrigerators are built for, and second refrigerators and chest freezers fail far more often than in a cooled kitchen. If you need a garage unit, look for one rated for high ambient temperatures and give it clearance for airflow.

The July to September monsoon brings dust storms that coat condenser coils and pack dryer vent hoods with debris. Check the exterior vent hood after each storm and vacuum refrigerator coils at the end of the season.

Very hard water is constant. Dishwashers, ice makers and washers benefit from regular descaling, rinse aid and, for many homes, a whole-house softener.

Phoenix appliance repair questions

Should I soften my water in Phoenix?

Many homeowners do, to protect water heaters and appliances. Check local rules on softener discharge.

Why does my garage fridge freeze or warm up?

Extreme garage heat pushes it beyond its rated range.

How often should I descale my dishwasher?

More often than the manual's minimum in very hard water areas. Monthly cleaning cycles help.
