Keeping Comfortable, At Home

One Local Specialist Offers Cool Advice for Unexpectedly Hot Scenarios

“Our team isn’t just skilled, we genuinely care about making your home comfortable,” smiles Preston Franklin of Preston’s Heating and Cooling. For Preston and his wife, Elayna, it’s a matter of local pride. “We grew up in Blue Ash and Montgomery, and spent a lot of time growing up on the bike trail. Now that we have a family, we love living in Loveland … it’s very full circle to be able to serve this community.”

Preston’s Heating and Cooling offers full-service residential and light commercial HVAC — including service, maintenance, and installation. “We’re committed to providing transparent and honest quotes,” Preston says, “never offering solutions that you don’t actually need.” Especially when it comes to keeping your home cool this season.

One top installation project for this local company is ductless mini-splits. “These are perfect for sun rooms, house additions, or a second floor that just never seems to be temperate. We use the LG brand for mini-splits, which is extremely effective and reliable. We also install Tempstar products if people need a whole house system.”

It’s all based on what he calls “Preston’s Promise: transparent pricing, quality work, and technicians who love to help.”

And now that hotter days are in full swing, Preston readily offers advice on everything from DIY maintenance to what to do if you wake up to an unresponsive air conditioning system.

“Check your filter,” he advises first. “It’s the biggest cause of AC mishaps, and those can cost big money.” He also stresses the importance of checking breakers and thermostats. “Does your thermostat have batteries on the backside? If so, try changing them if it’s not working correctly.”

Preston also highly recommends annual servicing, which includes outdoor condenser cleaning and assessment, to make sure everything is running smoothly even before sweltering summer days arrive. “We often find unwanted critters in condensers, wires out of place, and thick dirt and dust on outdoor units that cause your system to have to work harder.” Common issues easily taken care of before they cause bigger problems. 

Fortunately, Preston’s Heating and Cooling proudly provides free estimates and financing options to make even all-new systems more accessible for homeowners if needed — both of which can be a great thing in a pinch. “Summertime is busy for HVAC calls,” Preston reminds us. “Reaching out now ensures you can get on our schedule before it gets too hot.”
