Air conditioning units get their first run for many Arizonans as temperatures near triple-digits
With temperatures soaring over the last week, its a good time to get your a/c unit checked out before the real summer heat arrives.
What they're saying:
"So we come in, we bring these units in, and then we install them," said Hannah Perrine. "We install the window panels into the window. It's a very clean installation, so we're not affecting any paint in the home. Then we hook up the hose. It brings in cool air."
Hannah is a 29-year-old ASU graduate.
She started her company after having the A/C break in her home.
The Scottsdale-native provides same-day delivery of temporary portable air conditioning units to prevent others from being in the same situation she was in.
"Our A/C, to be fixed, was going to take about four days. So I was without cool relief for four days and I asked him what the solution was and my only solution was going to a hotel or a family member's house, but unfortunately for us, that wasn't an option," said Perrine.
Why you should care:
Being able to rent an A/C unit adds a level of convenience for people and pets that need to stay in the comfort of their own home.
Another perk of the A/C business is preventing heat illnesses and sometimes even deaths of people who don't have functioning A/C's.
"They said often times for replacing a unit, especially in the peak of summer, those can take upwards of weeks," said Perrine. "You need labor. You need parts. You need the units and there's also thousands of other people that are needing the same thing."
