The Tavern on the Green-themed event on the rooftop at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla included in memoriam honors for four late Scripps supporters whose generosity helped bring the most advanced cancer care to San Diego, auctions for unforgettable experiences, a three-course dinner, and live entertainment.

Art Alive made a triumphant 2022 return, starting with Bloom Bash on April 12.
By Seth Combs
After a two-year hiatus, the San Diego Museum of Art’s annual gala returned in full splendor with Art Alive. The three-day fundraising event kicked off with Bloom Bash, an extravagant fete complete with thematic cocktails, Ferris wheels in the promenade, and trademark floral interpretations of SDMA’s permanent collection. The evening’s showstopper? It was all about Organized Chaos, a striking pyramid-shaped installation in the rotunda by San Diego botanical designer Britton Neubacher. Outside, revelers danced, dined, and schmoozed in the sculpture garden. On a Studio 54–inspired dance floor, roller skaters performed amid a who’s-who of philanthropists and Mayor Todd Gloria.

Sweat San Diego presented by Maha Organic Hard Seltzer
San Diego summers can be brutal. But since the hottest period is typically late summer into early fall, San Diegans still have time to prepare. The pros at Mauzy Cooling, Heating, Plumbing, and Electrical are standing by to help homeowners fortify their homes against the elements and ensure their air conditioning is as frosty as the penguins that serve as the company’s mascots.
Many homeowners underestimate the load their AC system faces, especially in the inland valleys where temperatures regularly top 100 degrees. San Diego regularly sees multi-day heatwaves each summer, and a system that struggles on the first day will likely fail by the third.Longer run times, unusual sounds or smells, and uneven cooling from room to room are all signs that your system may not survive the next hot spell.
Systems typically last 12 to 17 years, but there are exceptions. If a system is approaching that, or is already there, a professional evaluation is recommended before summer really heats up. A good rule of thumb: If you can’t remember when your system was last serviced, it’s due.
“As technology changes, systems become smarter and smarter,” says Sean O’Connor, an install manager at Mauzy with 42 years of experience. “There are a lot of people out there who will say a system’s only good for 10 years. I don’t buy that—these systems are built to last as long as they’re taken care of.”
There are also a few steps homeowners can take between services to extend the life of their system. Regularly changing a dirty filter—especially if you have kids or pets—and keeping an outdoor unit clean can help head off problems in the future, says O’Connor.
Also, be realistic about whether it’s time to replace a unit. O’Connor likens pouring money into salvaging a faulty unit with patchwork repairs and replacement parts to “tripping over a dollar to pick up a dime.” When one part fails, others are sure to follow, and newer parts may not be compatible with older units. Mauzy recommends homeowners use the 50% rule: If a repair costs more than 50% of the system’s replacement value, and the equipment is over 10 years old, replacement is usually the better long-term value. And don’t forget the ducting. An older house that was built with heat and later had air conditioning added may not have sufficient airflow, regardless of how good the system is.
Last but not least, homeowners should know who to trust when it comes to their homes. Built on three generations of professional integrity, Mauzy has grown into not just a leader for cooling, heating, plumbing, and electrical services, but a leader in the community known for supporting local nonprofits across an array of causes. To ensure complete peace of mind, Mauzy stands behind a comprehensive 12-point guarantee that outlines its commitment to outstanding service, quality equipment, expert technicians who understand how the local microclimates affect HVAC performance, and no upsells or surprises on the bill.
“We go the extra mile. That’s what sets us apart,” O’Connor says. To get a free quote today, visit mauzy.com.
