Your #1 Air Conditioning Maintenance experts in Columbus, Dayton & Cincinnati
Let’s keep your air conditioner in tip-top shape.
At Five Star Home Services, we offer two levels of air conditioner maintenance to fit your home’s needs: a Safety Inspection and a full AC Tune-Up. Both services are performed by our licensed, insured, and NATE-certified HVAC technicians—but they differ in scope, detail, and system optimization. Here’s what you can expect:
AC Safety Inspection
A Quick, Pro-Level Safety Check
Our AC Safety Inspection is a standalone service focused on identifying any visible or obvious issues that could impact system safety or function. It’s perfect for homeowners wanting a professional eye on their unit—especially before summer starts or after a long period of disuse.
What’s Included in the AC Safety Inspection:
- Visual inspection of refrigerant lines and electrical connections
- Thermostat test and basic functionality check
- Check for visible wear on components
- Condensate drain check
- System start-up and shutdown observation
- Inspection of air filter and return airflow
AC Tune-Up
Comprehensive Maintenance for Comfort & Efficiency
The AC Tune-Up includes everything from the Safety Inspection, plus hands-on service and system optimization. It’s designed to keep your system running efficiently, prevent breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
What’s Included in the AC Tune-Up (plus all safety items):
- Cleaning condenser coils and evaporator (as accessible)
- Checking and tightening all electrical connections
- Measuring refrigerant charge and system pressures
- Flushing condensate drain lines
- Lubricating motors, fan blades, and moving parts
- Airflow testing and duct connection inspection
- Blower and capacitor performance testing
- Complete system calibration and final report
With a full AC tune-up, we make sure your air conditioner is ready to take on the hottest days—efficiently, safely, and reliably.

A Letter From Our
Chief Executive Officer
Dear Neighbor,
On behalf of all of us at Five Star Home Services, thank you for your continued support and trust. Your loyalty is the reason we’re able to grow, serve, and give back to the communities we love.
Founded in 1972 by Howard Morris Sr., we began as a small, family-owned heating and cooling company in Pickerington, Ohio. Today, we’ve grown into one of the top-rated home service companies in Greater Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati—offering trusted heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical services with same-day availability.
Our promise is simple: fast, five-star service you can count on. That means showing up today or it’s free, giving three estimates on every job, and doing it right—or making it right. As a Profit on Purpose company, a portion of every job goes back into our communities and local nonprofits that are making a difference.
Thanks to customers like you, we’ve unified our legacy brands—Pickerington Heating & Cooling, Five Star HVAC, Five Star Plumbing, and Five Star Electricians—into one mission-driven company.
We look forward to serving you for years to come while continuing to grow, innovate, and give back.
Sincerely,
Christian Rattin

Routine air conditioning maintenance improves your AC’s efficiency, prolongs its lifespan, and reduces energy bills. It also helps you avoid unexpected, costly repairs and ensures your home stays cool and comfortable during peak summer months.
You might need air conditioning maintenance if:
- Your AC is not cooling as effectively as it used to.
- You notice unusual noises or smells during operation.
