Preparing for the inevitable…

Alpine Heating and Cooling • October 29, 2019

Well… we had a nice summer and fall is beautiful but…. If you live in Ohio you know what is lurking right around the corner so we’re not even going to say the word 😊 We still have some time left to enjoy the beauty of Fall and the refreshingly cool temps however but this is also a good time to begin preparing.


Furnace maintenance in the fall is crucial to ensure your system is operating correctly for the upcoming season (we’re really not saying it 😊). To get the most from your heating and cooling system, remember to perform these tasks this autumn.

1. Clean your vents

Dust and other debris will build up in your Furnace & Vents during the summer. When Autumn hits we recommend that customers check for any blockages and clean all their vents. This alone can save up to 10% in heating bills this winter.

2. Clean Your Outdoor Units

While the leaves falling are beautiful, but they can also have a very negative impact on your HVAC units. A lot of customers will make sure to remove the leaves from their yard but disregard their HVAC units. These leaves, along with dust, dirt and twigs get into your outdoor unit and can cause issues down the road.

3. Clogging in the Condensate Drain Line

A clog in the condensate drain line can spell bad news your heating and cooling systems. Regular maintenance can usually prevent this by pouring a solution of     bleach and water through the line to help prevent clogs from forming. If you are not confident in doing this, please contact us and we would be glad to come out and assist.

4. Scheduled Maintenance

The routine maintenance listed above will go a long way towards the health and efficiency of your Furnace and Air Conditioning systems. Most manufactures  recommend Bi-Annual service maintenance on units as well. We offer multiple different levels of service agreements that are very affordable and offer a “set it and forget” solution to your heating and cooling maintenance.

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. Ready for the Future? At Alpine Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Refrigeration , we're keeping a close eye on where HVAC is headed—so you don’t have to. From AI-driven comfort systems to ultra-efficient cooling, we’re here to help you upgrade with confidence. If you are in need of service on your current AC system please give us a call and we'd be glad to begin the process of evaluating your needs along with your budget and coming up with a plan for your heating, cooling & air quality needs.
