HVAC FAQs for Columbus, OH
Spring maintenance (March-April) is ideal for air conditioning systems before summer heat arrives. Schedule furnace maintenance in early fall (September-October) before the first cold snap. Columbus's extreme weather patterns make this timing crucial. For optimal performance, consider:
- AC tune-ups before temperatures consistently reach 70°F
- Heating maintenance before nighttime temperatures drop below 40°F
- Filter replacements every 1-3 months year-round
- Complete system checks twice yearly
During Ohio's peak allergy seasons (spring and fall), replace standard filters every 30 days instead of the usual 90. For homes with pets or allergy sufferers, consider changing filters every 2-3 weeks. Columbus's high pollen counts from May-June and August-September necessitate more frequent changes. Consider:
- MERV 8-11 filters for better allergen capture
- Visual inspections every two weeks during high pollen periods
- Pleated filters over fiberglass for improved filtration
- Smart thermostat alerts to remind you of scheduled changes
For Columbus's variable climate, select systems with SEER ratings of 16+ for cooling and AFUE ratings of 92%+ for heating. Variable-speed equipment better handles temperature fluctuations between seasons. Heat pumps with HSPF ratings of 8.5+ are increasingly popular for their dual functionality. Consider:
- Two-stage furnaces for efficient operation during mild cold snaps
- Multi-stage air conditioners for humidity control during summers
- ENERGY STAR certified systems for reliable performance
- Zoning systems to address temperature variations in different areas of your home
Professional maintenance in early spring ensures your system handles Columbus's high humidity levels. Clean or replace filters monthly during summer for optimal airflow. Clear debris from around outdoor units to prevent restricted airflow. Verify proper refrigerant levels to maintain dehumidification capacity. Consider:
- Installing a whole-home dehumidifier for enhanced moisture control
- Checking condensate drain lines for clogs before heavy use
- Upgrading to a programmable thermostat with humidity control features
- Sealing ductwork to prevent humid air infiltration and improve efficiency
