Southwest Climate Considerations

No region places heavier demands on mortuary refrigeration than the desert Southwest. Summer ambient temperatures routinely reach 105–115°F in Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, El Paso, and across the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. All AMC units are rated for up to 80°F ambient — so in the Southwest, the installation environment matters more than anywhere else in the country. If your prep room, garage, or holding area is not actively cooled to 80°F or below during summer, talk to us about remote condenser options and facility HVAC planning before ordering. A self-contained unit fighting 100°F+ room air will short-cycle and struggle to hold temperature. This is the single most important planning step for facilities in Arizona, southern Nevada, and West Texas.
