What Cleveland Heights Customers Say

Sorry for the delay with this review. Richie and his team came up clutch for us during last Christmas season. Last Christmas Eve our furnace went out and Richie (OCH) was the only company to pick up our call. He was able to come out 2 days later and did all the work. He and his team did an amazing job and the price was very reasonable. They were great to have around the house. It felt like family was over doing work on the house.

Cleveland Heights HVAC Questions Answered

Find the right HVAC contractor in Cleveland Heights. We connect you with licensed, insured professionals who deliver quality service—backed by real customer reviews.

How often should I change my air filter?

Every 1-3 months. Closer to 30 days if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area. A dirty filter makes your system work harder and die sooner. Set a phone reminder.

How do I know if I should repair or replace my system?

General rule: If the repair costs more than half what a new system costs, replace it. Also replace if your system is 15+ years old and breaking down often. We'll give you both options with real numbers - no pressure.

How often should I schedule maintenance?

Twice a year. AC tune-up in spring (March-May). Furnace tune-up in fall (Sept-Nov). Catches problems early and keeps your warranty valid.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, we have several financing packages and monthly payment plans available.

What's the best HVAC setup for Midwest temperature swings?

A heat pump with gas backup (dual-fuel) handles everything from 95°F summers to -10°F winters. The heat pump covers mild days efficiently while gas provides reliable heat during polar vortex events.

How efficient should my furnace be for Midwest winters?

90% AFUE minimum, with 95-96% being ideal. Midwest winters are cold but not as extreme as northern states. The payback on high-efficiency furnaces is typically 4-6 years with current gas prices.

Should I worry about tornado damage to my outdoor AC unit?

Consider a hail guard for your condenser if you're in Tornado Alley. Also verify your homeowner's insurance covers HVAC damage. After any major storm, have your system inspected before running it—debris can damage components.

HVAC system costs in Cleveland Heights typically range from $4,000 to $10,000, with most residential installations falling between $5,500 and $7,500.
