Five Star is an employee centric company and every employee I’ve asked has had nothing but good things to say about the company.”

Dayton-Specific Air Conditioning Concerns
-
Humidity and Heat
Dayton’s humidity index in the summer usually hovers around 70% but can climb higher. Your air conditioner needs to be set up to combat moisture in the air with solid air flow and drainage capabilities. Your air conditioner will probably be running for most of the day once you hit the end of June, so ensure you’re set up for efficiency to keep your bills as low as possible during the hot season.
-
Trees and Other Outdoor Issues
Shade is always helpful for cooling and can even help your AC perform better. However, the amount of mature trees in Dayton neighborhoods can rain debris in the form of leaves, sticks, and larger seed pods down on your outdoor air conditioner. Over time, all of this detritus can build up and start to harm the function of your air conditioner. Check out tree placement when getting a new unit and be on top of falling vegetation, especially after big storms.
-
Storming
You’re going to catch a broadside from a summer storm sometime during a Dayton summer. Severe weather can impact your air conditioning in several ways. Heavy rains can lead to flooding that can harm your outdoor unit if water levels get too high. Power outages can also slam your cooling to a stop and do a number on wiring throughout your home. Once the storm passes, check on your outdoor unit for debris as well.
Temperature Swings
When spring and fall come around, the temperature can be unpredictable. Your air conditioner could sit idle for days or weeks at a time and then suddenly run constantly once a heat wave rears its head. Proper maintenance throughout the year can ensure that your air conditioner is ready for service at the drop of a hat and won’t leave you hanging during a sudden temperature swing.
Frequently Asked Questions About AC Installation and Replacement
Everything you need to know
before you buy.
Usually, you’ll only go without cooling for a small chunk of the day. Most air conditioner installations and replacement services are wrapped up with a bow on the same day. If you’re going for a replacement, things will have to get shut down as things are shuffled around and your new AC unit is installed. Scheduling these services before summer hits is a great strategy to avoid languishing in the heat while you wait for the job to reach completion.
Absolutely! We provide free, same-day estimates across Greater Dayton and the surrounding suburbs. Our comfort advisors assess your system, explain your options, and give you clear, upfront pricing before any work begins.
It’s helpful to hang around during the beginning and tail end of your installation or replacement. You’ll want to be able to let your HVAC team in and show them around before they get going. You’ll also want to be around for your team to run through the process with you and discuss how the job went once they wrap up work. Otherwise, you’re free to get errands done or grab a coffee at a local shop while you wait.
Short answer, yes. This comes with some serious caveats, though. Depending on where your new unit will reside, you could need refrigerant lines moved, ductwork may need to be modified, and electrical wiring will also need to be swapped over to the new area. All of these things are totally within the realm of possibility; it will just extend how long the job takes and probably make the whole ordeal more expensive.
Most likely yes. Your cooling system is set to work as part of a whole. Mixing and matching can lead to issues, and you won’t want to have another big installation or replacement job soon after you finish the first one. This can be less of an issue with some newer air conditioners, but it’s usually a better idea to handle both at the same time.
