Common questions in Cleveland.
Can I add air conditioning to my Shaker Heights or Lakewood home that has radiator heat?
Yes. Thousands of East Side and West Side century homes heat with steam or hot-water boilers and have no ductwork. Multi-zone cold-climate ductless mini-splits let you cool (and heat during spring/fall) individual living areas and bedrooms quietly without losing closet space to bulky ducts.
My Cleveland home has an older 80% furnace in the basement—is a 96% furnace worth it?
In Cleveland's long winter climate, an 80% furnace sends 20 cents of every heating dollar straight up the chimney. Upgrading to a 96%+ AFUE two-stage furnace recovers almost all of that heat and runs much quieter.
Does Etho Home handle suburban point-of-sale and mechanical permits in Cuyahoga County?
Yes. Cuyahoga County municipalities (such as Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, Lakewood, Parma, and Westlake) enforce strict mechanical permitting and inspection rules. Our state-licensed partner crews pull all required permits and schedule the city inspection.
Cleveland climate and homes.
Cleveland climate and homes.
Lake Erie brings Cleveland cloudy, snowy winters from November into April and humid late summers. Many century homes still use hot-water or steam boilers with no ductwork.
Your local weather
Cleveland sits squarely in IECC Climate Zone 5A. Lake Erie drives cloudy, snowy winters from November into April with frequent sub-freezing wind chills, while late-summer lake water temperatures keep July and August dew points high across the metro.
Homes and ductwork
Northeast Ohio is famous for its century homes: 1910s–1930s colonials, Tudors, and doubles in Lakewood, Shaker Heights, and Cleveland Heights—many of which still use hot-water or steam boilers without ductwork, or older gravity-converted basement furnaces. Post-war suburbs like Parma, Strongsville, Westlake, Mentor, and Solon feature brick ranches, split-levels, and two-story colonials with forced-air basement systems.
Utilities and rebates
The Illuminating Company (a FirstEnergy company) or Cleveland Public Power for electricity, and Enbridge Gas Ohio (formerly Dominion Energy Ohio) or Columbia Gas of Ohio (in select western/outer suburbs) for natural gas.
