About Us
As temperatures drop in Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati, now is the time to prepare your heating system for reliable performance. Ohio’s fall-to-winter transition can bring sudden cold snaps that strain older systems. Proactive maintenance from Logan Services prevents costly breakdowns, improves comfort, and keeps energy bills in check.
Watch below as Abbey explains step-by-step the things to complete in the upcoming weeks as we transition into the heating season.
Tip #1: Schedule a Professional Furnace Tune-Up
Book a Logan Services furnace tune-up to prevent malfunctions and identify issues early. Our technicians will inspect components, test efficiency, and ensure safe operation. If your furnace is outdated or inefficient, we can provide a same-day replacement quote during your appointment.
Why It Matters: Regular tune-ups extend equipment life, reduce emergency repair risk, and improve heating efficiency. A tuned system uses less energy and keeps your home consistently warm.
Tip #2: Schedule Duct Cleaning for Cleaner Indoor Air
Winter means more time indoors, making indoor air quality a priority. Over time, ducts collect dust, allergens, and pet dander that circulate when the heat runs. Professional duct cleaning removes contaminants and supports healthier air.
Why It Matters: Clean ducts can improve airflow, reduce allergy symptoms, and help your system operate more efficiently. This leads to better comfort and potentially lower energy costs.
Tip #3: Replace Furnace Filters Regularly
Changing your furnace filter maintains airflow, protects internal components, and ensures cleaner indoor air. Standard filters should be replaced every 30 days, while Perfect Air Plus (PAP) filters last up to 90 days.
Why It Matters: A clogged filter forces your blower to work harder, increasing energy bills and wear on your system. Clean filters improve air quality and keep heating equipment running smoothly.
Tip #4: Address Uneven Temperatures in Your Home
If you have hot or cold spots, consider upgrading to a properly sized high-efficiency Trane or Daikin system for whole-home comfort. For targeted solutions, a Mitsubishi Electric ductless system can deliver heating or cooling to problem areas like sunrooms, additions, or finished basements.
Why It Matters: Even heating improves comfort, reduces strain on your system, and can prevent high energy bills caused by overcompensating for temperature imbalances.
