Summer is Finally Here!!!

Alpine Heating and Cooling • July 2, 2019

Are you ready for the Hot weather? With the wet and cold Spring we've had in Ohio we are definitely are!

As temperatures rise, you want to make sure your air conditioner is in good condition. We recommend that our customers schedule a preventative maintenance to ensure proper cooling system operation. Our techs at Alpine Heating & Cooling are trained to catch small issues before they become big problems which create higher prices for our customers and scheduling conflicts for our service techs that could both be avoided.

But, your air conditioner is only one part of the cooling equation. Your thermostat also plays a vital role in your homes cooling!

The Department of Energy recommends that residential homes set their thermostat to 78°F during the summer. Setting your thermostat at this temperature will save you a good amount of money over a Summer season while maintaining a comfortable temperature.

During your preventative maintenance appointment, ask one of our trained technicians about what thermostat options are available. We have many models and options available ranging from an analog thermostat to a Wi-Fi-enabled model.

Programmable thermostats fall in the middle and is what we most often recommend to our customers. You can set the temperature based on your schedule. It makes airflow adjustments based on when you’re home and when you’re out of the house. This way, you are using the perfect amount of energy and resources to cool and heat your home!

Reach us today by email or phone and schedule your preventative maintenance visit!

Best Home Heating Options in Ohio: Gas, Propane or Electric?

By Tom Markley • October 28, 2026

Choosing the right heating system can make a big difference in comfort and energy costs. For homeowners in Wayne, Holmes, and Ashland counties, Ohio, the most common options include natural gas furnaces, propane furnaces, and electric heating systems. But which option makes the most sense for your home? Natural Gas Heating: Efficient and Affordable Natural gas furnaces are a popular choice throughout Northeast Ohio. Modern high-efficiency furnaces can achieve 95% AFUE or higher, delivering reliable warmth during cold Ohio winters. For homes with access to natural gas, it's often one of the most cost-effective heating options. Propane Heating: Great for Rural Ohio Homes Many homeowners in rural Holmes, Wayne, and Ashland counties rely on propane because natural gas lines aren't available. Propane furnaces provide dependable heat during freezing temperatures. While propane can cost more than natural gas, high-efficiency equipment can help keep heating expenses under control. Electric Heating and Heat Pumps: A Modern Alternative Electric heat pumps have improved significantly in recent years. Unlike traditional electric furnaces, heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, making them much more energy-efficient. Modern cold-climate heat pumps can work even when temperatures drop below freezing. Some homeowners also choose dual-fuel heating systems, combining a heat pump with a gas furnace for efficient heating throughout the winter. Which Heating System Is Best for Your Ohio Home? The best heating system depends on fuel availability, energy prices, your home's insulation, and your budget. Whether you live in Wooster, Millersburg, Ashland, or the surrounding communities, choosing the right equipment can improve comfort and help control heating costs.
