Late summer in Ohio can be unpredictable—some days bring crisp, fall-like mornings, while others feel just as hot and humid as July. This back-and-forth weather can put extra strain on your HVAC system, making late summer a critical time to ensure everything is running efficiently. 1. Watch for Signs of Wear By August, your air conditioner has likely been running for months. Listen for unusual noises, check for weak airflow, and monitor your utility bills for sudden spikes. These can be early indicators that your system needs attention before fall. 2. Maintain Proper Airflow Late summer pollen and dust can clog your air filter faster than expected. A fresh filter not only improves indoor air quality but also keeps your AC from overworking. 3. Manage Humidity High humidity in late summer can make your home feel warmer than it is. Consider a whole-home dehumidifier or have your current system checked to ensure it’s properly removing moisture from the air. A little end-of-summer care goes a long way in extending the life of your HVAC system and keeping your home comfortable year-round.  Serving Wooster, Ashland & Mt.
