The Lakes was one of Tempe's first big lakeside communities, under construction by the early 1970s along the man-made lakes south of the US 60. From our shop at 2465 W 12th St, it's about 10 minutes down Priest or Rural. A lot of our long-time Tempe customers live here.
What we see in The Lakes
- Fifty-year-old houses on modern systems, or not. Most homes have replaced their original equipment at least once. The ones on a 15-plus-year-old system, especially R-22, are on borrowed time. Refrigerant guide.
- Two-story homes. Upstairs runs hot. That's usually a duct and return-air problem, not a too-small AC. Bigger equipment makes it worse. Short cycling.
- Attic air handlers. Drain lines that clog in monsoon season and drip through ceilings. AC leaking water.
- Original ductwork. Flex duct in a Tempe attic doesn't last 50 years. Ductwork guide.
- Lakefront humidity. Homes right on the water see more condensate and more algae in drain lines. Flush and treat every spring.
