Cave Creek summers bring relentless heat, and an air conditioner that’s struggling to keep up can quickly become a serious problem when temperatures climb past 110°F. These are the warning signs homeowners should pay attention to:
With air conditioners running heavily for much of the year, even minor issues can put additional strain on the system. Identifying problems early can help prevent a relatively simple repair from turning into a costly breakdown during the hottest months.

Cave Creek’s extreme summer heat leaves little room for an air conditioner that’s already struggling. When temperatures climb above 110°F, cooling systems often run for extended periods, and even relatively minor mechanical problems can put additional strain on expensive components.
For homeowners with air conditioners that are 10 to 15 years old, catching these problems early becomes especially important. A failing condenser fan motor, for example, can prevent the outdoor unit from releasing heat properly, causing operating pressures to rise and potentially overheating the compressor. What could have been a relatively inexpensive motor replacement can turn into a compressor failure costing thousands of dollars.
We got a call from Debra in Cave Creek, just off Tatum, whose AC had stopped cooling in the middle of a hot summer afternoon. The thermostat was set for 75, and the indoor fan was running, but the house kept getting warmer. With an older system and no cold air coming through the vents, the homeowner was worried that the time had come to replace her unit.
When our technician checked the outdoor unit, he found that the contactor had failed and wasn’t allowing high voltage power through to the compressor. The compressor itself was fine; it simply wasn’t receiving the power it needed to run. We replaced the contactor, checked the electrical connections, and ran the system to make sure everything was operating properly. What initially looked like a major equipment failure turned out to be a straightforward electrical repair that got her system up and running. Instead of rushing into a new system, she now has time to plan and budget for a replacement when the time comes!

No. Red Ribbon Cooling & Heating is locally owned and operated, not backed by private equity. Our founder grew up in Cave Creek and started his first home service business in the area while still in high school, before moving into the HVAC industry. His wife also grew up in Cave Creek, so this community has always been home to us. We’re proud to be an independent, locally owned company serving the same neighborhoods where we grew up.
Most residential air conditioners last approximately 10 to 15 years in Arizona, although some last considerably longer with proper installation and maintenance. Cave Creek’s extreme summer temperatures and extended cooling season place significant demands on equipment. If your system is approaching 10 years old, regular inspections become increasingly important.
Red Ribbon Cooling & Heating offers same day booking when appointments are available. Calling sooner in the day increases the likelihood of same-day visit.
