Get Your AC Ready for Summer in Ohio Before It's Too Late

June 11, 2025

Summer in Ohio can bring sweltering heat, making a well-functioning air conditioning system essential for comfort. Preparing your AC before the hottest days arrive can prevent unexpected breakdowns and ensure optimal performance. Here are some essential tips to get your AC ready for summer:


1. Replace the Air Filter

A clean air filter is crucial for efficient cooling. Replace your filter to ensure proper airflow and reduce strain on your system. Aim to check and replace it every one to three months, depending on usage.


2. Clean the Outdoor Unit

Over the fall and winter, debris, leaves, and dirt can accumulate around the outdoor unit. Clear away any debris and gently hose down the unit to remove dust and grime from the coils. This helps improve efficiency and cooling capacity.


3. Check the Thermostat

Test your thermostat to ensure it’s functioning correctly. If you have an older model, consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat for better energy management and efficiency.


4. Inspect and Seal Ductwork

Leaky ducts can lead to significant energy loss and uneven cooling. Inspect your ductwork for leaks, holes, or disconnected sections, and seal them with appropriate materials. This will ensure cool air reaches every part of your home.


5. Test the System

Run your AC for a short period to ensure it starts up and runs smoothly. Listen for any unusual noises and check if it’s cooling effectively. This test can help you identify issues early.


6. Schedule a Professional Tune-Up

Give us a call to perform a thorough inspection and tune-up of your AC system. We can check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, and ensure everything is in optimal working order. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your system.

As summers get hotter and technology keeps advancing, the air conditioning systems of the future are being built to do more than just cool your home. They're being designed to think, learn, and save you money—all while being better for the planet. 1. AI Is Changing Everything Artificial Intelligence is becoming a game-changer in home HVAC. Smart thermostats and systems are now using AI to learn your daily habits, predict when you’ll be home, and automatically adjust settings for comfort and efficiency. Some systems can even monitor weather patterns and energy rates to cool your home when it’s cheapest and most efficient. Think of it as comfort on autopilot—with lower utility bills. 2. Smarter Zoning and Voice Control With AI and smart home integration, you’ll be able to cool specific rooms based on usage, control your system with voice commands, and get alerts before something breaks. AI-powered diagnostics are helping technicians fix problems faster and even prevent breakdowns before they happen. 3. Eco-Friendly Refrigerants and Efficiency New AC systems are using refrigerants with a much lower environmental impact while operating more efficiently. Technologies like variable-speed compressors and inverter systems allow your system to run more smoothly, use less energy, and last longer. 4. Solar and Energy Storage Integration Expect to see more systems paired with solar panels and battery storage. These setups reduce your reliance on the grid and make cooling more sustainable—especially during peak summer demand. 5. Cleaner Indoor Air, Automatically Future AC units will come standard with advanced filtration, humidity control, and UV-C light to kill bacteria and viruses—all automatically managed through smart sensors that adjust based on the air quality in your home.
