Summer in the Phoenix Valley is synonymous with intense heat, often pushing temperatures well above 100°F (38°C). For tenants, managing this heat is crucial not only for comfort but also for safety. Here’s a quick guide to help you stay cool:

Seal and Shade: Ensure windows and doors are well-sealed to prevent cool air from escaping. Use blinds or curtains during peak sun hours to keep your space cooler and reduce cooling costs.
