Local homes
Tempe housing and HVAC
Most homes are single-story with rooftop package units or split systems with attic air handlers. Many rentals near ASU have older equipment, and some older homes still use evaporative coolers. Tempe is almost fully built out, so a large share of homes are 30 to 50 years old with second- or third-generation equipment and original ducts.
Tempe has extremely hot summers with weeks above 110°F, mild winters, and monsoon dust storms from July to September. Summer nights often stay above 85°F, so systems run around the clock for weeks, and the July-to-September monsoon adds humidity that swamp coolers cannot handle.
Permits and seasonal timing in Tempe
