What’s the best thermostat setting for summer in Cincinnati?

For optimal comfort and energy savings during summer in Cincinnati, set your thermostat to 78°F (25°C) when you're home. If you're away, raising it to 85°F can help reduce cooling costs. Using a programmable or smart thermostat can make these adjustments automatic and more efficient.

Do you provide emergency after-hours HVAC service in Cincinnati?

We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.

How can I improve indoor air quality in Cincinnati?

To improve indoor air quality in Cincinnati, start by regularly changing your HVAC filters, scheduling routine maintenance, and using air purifiers. Consider duct cleaning if your home has excessive dust or allergy symptoms. Proper ventilation and keeping your home clean are key to healthier air.

How often should I service my HVAC system in Cincinnati?

It’s ideal to service your cooling system each spring and your heating system each fall to ensure you find small issues before they become big problems.

Do you offer HVAC financing in Cincinnati?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore comfort in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

How often should I have my furnace serviced in Cincinnati?

It’s recommended to have your furnace professionally serviced once a year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins in Cincinnati. Annual maintenance helps ensure safe operation, improves efficiency, and can extend the life of your system.

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Cincinnati?

It’s generally recommended to have your air ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years in Cincinnati, or more often if you notice dust buildup, allergies, or musty odors. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or high pollen levels in Cincinnati may benefit from more frequent cleanings to maintain healthy indoor air quality.

How often should I schedule AC maintenance in Cincinnati?

You should schedule AC maintenance once a year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season starts in OH. Regular tune-ups help your system run efficiently, prevent breakdowns, and extend the life of your unit, especially important in Cincinnati's summer climate.

What size HVAC system is right for my home in Cincinnati?

The right HVAC system size for your home in Cincinnati depends on factors like square footage, insulation, number of windows, and local climate. A professional load calculation ensures your system is properly sized for comfort and efficiency. Oversized or undersized units can lead to higher energy bills and uneven temperatures.

“Adam was on time, professional, knowledgeable and explained everything he was doing. I appreciated that he reviewed the notes provided and respected the information and testing we had done without being dismissive. This is the second time I've called One Hour and both times the technicians were very helpful and did their best to mitigate costs and unnecessary work, as well as being friendly and professional. Highly recommend.”
