Plan for Chandler's heat before you plan around its winter

  1. Visit in summer and winter

    Spend time in a hot month and a cool month when possible, noticing cooling, shade, walking, parking, freezing nights, home comfort, and the return home.

  2. Price HVAC, insulation, windows, shade, and water

    Ask about electricity, air conditioning, HVAC service, insulation, windows, roof, shade, water use, drought preparation, and seasonal maintenance.

  3. Identify indoor alternatives

    Choose the museum, Nature Center, recreation, library, meal, care, and home activities that will support the hottest months and days when outdoor plans are less comfortable.

  4. Check allergy and air needs

    Use the displayed allergy and modeled air labels as planning references, then ask about ventilation, filtration, shade, cooling, and the personal needs of the household.
