Air Services and Older Dayton, OH, Homes
Did you know that almost 40% of Dayton’s housing stock was constructed before the start of the 1940’s? There are some truly old homes out there, and the older your home, the more difficulty it can give you when setting up modern air conditioning services.
-
Old Building Habits
When a lot of these historic homes were built, central air conditioning wasn’t something they had to think about during construction, and many aren’t properly set up for it. People relied on window-based units and air flow through windows to keep things cool. A lot of times, you’ll need to fully retrofit your home to get a newer air conditioner working properly and cooling your house.
-
Air Leaks
Draftiness often goes hand in hand with older builds. A lack of thorough insulation in attics or walls can let air pour out of your home, stifling air conditioning efficiency and making your unit overwork itself. While this isn’t technically a problem with your air conditioner, it can raise your electric bills as it tries to replace leaking air with new air.
-
Improper Ductwork
Older homes aren’t built with ductwork that can support the power of a new air conditioner. Old ductwork is often too small or tight, restricting airflow as it tries to move around your home for even cooling. Aged homes also usually suffer from leaky ductwork that can wear on your AC’s parts.
-
Layout
The way older homes were set up can also affect how well your air conditioner can perform. If you’re living in a space with multiple smaller rooms with doors attached, it can change how air circulates and make it tougher to cool each area. Multi-level homes with several closed-off spaces are a challenge to cool, and updates may need to happen to get things cooling better.
-
Electrical Problems
If your home is on the older side, there’s a good chance your wiring is a bit time-worn as well. Your electrical panel (if it hasn’t been updated) could have a drastically limited capacity. There may be less available power to dedicate to a modern air conditioning system. Have your electricity inspected and make updates as necessary. This can give you the juice you need and keep you safer as older, worn wiring is swapped out with newer components.

If you’re living in an older build don’t hesitate to call. The Five Star Home Services team has experience with historic homes. Call today to schedule AC services in Dayton, OH.

“My service man, Will, showed up when scheduled and completed a thorough maintenance check on my AC unit. Will wore protective shoe covers while in the house after each time he went outside. When finished, Will explained everything he completed and gave suggestions to improve my AC usage. A job well done in just over an hour.”
Will Jeffreys, HVAC Safety Inspection
“Very professional and friendly. Technician did what he was here to do (AC) inspection, thankfully found nothing wrong and did not try to invent a problem which other companies have tried to do in the past. Five Star is an employee centric company and every employee I’ve asked has had nothing but good things to say about the company.”

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Services
You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers!
It’s best to schedule air conditioner service once a year—ideally before summer hits. Annual tune-ups keep your system reliable, efficient, and ready to handle Dayton’s hottest days.
If you’re comfortable without AC in the winter, there are a few steps you can take to help your air conditioner make it through long periods of disuse. If your air conditioner has an outdoor unit that will be sitting dormant for a while, you can cover it up. This helps prevent debris from building up as seasons change and winter storms roll through. Not all models need a full cover, so be sure to check out advice from the manufacturer before locking your AC up for the winter. Once winter ends, give your AC a quick inspection and remove anything that’s built up in and around it.
Yes, pets do throw a couple of new variables into the equation. Depending on the type of pet and how much they shed, pet hair can clog up your air filters much faster than they normally would. If you’ve got a pet (or several), you’ll want to run checks on your air filters much more often and give them a good cleaning to improve air flow and keep your AC from overworking itself.
Depending on what gets changed or added to your home, your air conditioner can definitely be affected. New room additions can change how air flows around your home. Ductwork may need to be added to tie in your changes and keep things flowing evenly. Keep cooling (and heating) in mind when you’re making changes to your home and update as needed.
Yes, if you’re stuck in an especially rough heat wave, you can safely run your air conditioner to keep your family safe and comfortable. A consistent cool is often easier on your system than starting and stopping to try to catch up to a larger change in temperature in your home. As the heat dies down, be sure to change your cooling settings to give your system a rest, though.
