Battling the Heat in Phoenix

When it comes to sweltering heat, Phoenix, Arizona holds the crown as the hottest city in the United States. This title is determined by the number of days each year that temperatures exceed 100°F. Phoenix averages an astounding 111 days per year over this threshold, far surpassing the runner-up, Las Vegas, by about a month of 100°F days.

‍

For residents of Phoenix, these extreme temperatures are a familiar challenge. However, just because they are common doesn't mean they are bearable. That's where the team at TRSS — Phoenix steps in. We offer a wide selection of rolling shutters and solar screens designed to help Phoenix homeowners enjoy their outdoor spaces despite the heat. Additionally, our products can significantly lower indoor temperatures. In this post, we’ll explore how TRSS — Phoenix can cool down the hottest city in the United States, Phoenix, AZ.

Cooling Down Phoenix Area Patios with Solar Screens

Solar screens are a fantastic solution for reducing heat in the outdoor areas of your home. Once deployed, our solar screens can lower the temperature on your porch or patio by 15 degrees. This cooling effect is achieved through several mechanisms, including the blocking of UV rays and the reduction of radiant heat.

‍

UV rays are the harmful rays of the sun that can cause furniture to fade and lead to sunburns for those spending time outdoors. Radiant heat, on the other hand, is the actual heat you feel emanating from the sun. By blocking 95% of the sun's radiant heat, our solar screens create a noticeable drop in temperature, making your outdoor spaces more comfortable.

‍

Moreover, our solar screens are built using high-quality materials, such as aircraft-grade aluminum for tracks and housing, and come with motors and electronics backed by a lifetime warranty. If any issues arise that affect the automatic operation of your solar screens, we’ll repair them at no cost. You can rely on our solar screens to keep your Phoenix area porch or patio cool for years to come, with the assurance that any operational problems will be swiftly addressed by our team.

Reduce Indoor Temperatures with Window Shades & Shutters

When the sun's heat and UV rays hit windows and glass doors, they can significantly raise the interior temperature of a home. This can be easily observed by opening the blinds or curtains in a room with several windows; within minutes, the room's temperature can increase by 5 degrees or more. This effect is particularly noticeable in rooms with large bay windows or sliding glass doors that let in a lot of natural light.

‍

This increase in interior heat creates two main issues. First, it makes the inside of the home uncomfortable, even if the thermostat is set to a desired temperature like 70°F. The actual temperature might feel more like 75°F. Second, the additional heat forces your air conditioner to work harder to maintain the set temperature, leading to higher energy bills. The increased workload on your AC unit results in more energy consumption, raising the cost of your electricity or energy bills.

‍

Our window shades help block heat from entering your home by being installed similarly to blinds or drapes. In contrast, our rolling shutters and exterior solution screens are installed on the outside of windows or doors, providing superior protection, greater heat reduction, and added insulation. When deployed, both our shades and shutters significantly lower indoor temperatures, making your home more comfortable and helping you save on energy costs.
