Summers in Northeast Ohio aren’t just hot—they’re humid. And when your home isn’t properly equipped to handle both, it can feel downright miserable. If your current HVAC setup struggles to keep up, here are five upgrades that can make your home cooler, more comfortable, and more energy-efficient.
1. High-Efficiency Air Conditioner
If your A/C is more than 10-15 years old, it may be time for an upgrade. Newer models are not only more efficient but also better at cooling your home evenly. Look for ENERGY STAR® rated units with high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings for maximum performance.
2. Smart Thermostat
Smart thermostats learn your habits and adjust automatically, helping you save money and stay comfortable. Many models also let you control your HVAC system from your phone, making it easy to cool your home before you even walk through the door.
3. Whole-Home Dehumidifier
High humidity can make even moderate temperatures feel unbearable. A whole-home dehumidifier works with your HVAC system to pull excess moisture out of the air, reducing strain on your A/C and improving overall comfort.
4. Zoning Systems
A zoning system allows you to cool different areas of your home independently. This is especially helpful for multi-story homes where temperature imbalances are common. You’ll enjoy custom comfort and potentially lower energy bills.
5. Air Purification System
Indoor air quality often takes a hit during the summer due to closed windows and recirculated air. An air purifier attached to your HVAC system can remove pollutants, allergens, and even odors for a healthier home environment.
