“The Dog Days Are Over” — Well, Almost… Is Your HVAC System Ready for What’s Next?

The dog days are over — well, almost. As the peak heat of summer starts to fade in Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati, now’s the time to give your HVAC system a late-season checkup. Keeping your home comfortable isn’t just about temperature—it’s about every member of the household, even the ones with four legs.

What Are the Dog Days of Summer?

The “dog days” mark the hottest, most humid stretch of the year, typically early July through mid-August. This period puts maximum demand on your cooling system—and it doesn’t just affect you. Pets seek relief too, often curling up near floor vents or lounging in the coolest spots in the house.

Home Comfort Matters for the Whole Family

That’s why Logan Services created the Comfiest Companions campaign—to celebrate how comfort impacts every member of the household. From dogs stretched out under ceiling fans to cats curled up near registers, our pets know when the HVAC system is doing its job.

“Many of our own team members are proud pet parents, and we know how important it is to keep the entire family—furry friends included—cool and cozy.”
– Riley A., Marketing Specialist

Prepare Your Furnace Before the First Cold Snap

After months of inactivity, your furnace needs professional attention before it’s ready to keep your home and your comfy companions warm. End-of-summer is the ideal time to schedule heating maintenance—before demand spikes and cold weather hits.

Why Pre-Season Furnace Maintenance Matters:

• Removes dust buildup and checks ignition safety
• Ensures proper airflow and heat output
• Identifies worn parts before they cause breakdowns
• Helps your system operate efficiently and reliably all winter

Save More With a Logan Services Maintenance Plan
