As temperatures soar in Cincinnati, home heating and cooling experts warn that air conditioning systems are working overtime, increasing the risk of breakdowns. Chris Cox, president of Al’s Comfort Technologies, says his company is handling about 50 calls a day, with many issues related to blown capacitors, trip fuses, and dirty filters.
Importance of Maintenance
Cox emphasizes the importance of scheduling a maintenance appointment with a professional to ensure that heating and cooling systems are well-maintained, which can also save money by reducing the likelihood of overwork and high energy bills. For vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly and those with asthma, a functioning air conditioning system is crucial.
Mary Denney, a Mason homeowner, recently had her AC unit repaired by Cox’s company, highlighting the essential need for cool air, especially for her 84-year-old mother-in-law who has asthma. Cooling centers are available throughout the region, including several locations in Northern Kentucky, for those who may not have access to air conditioning.
