Common questions in Columbus.
Why are upstairs bedrooms in Dublin, Westerville, and Hilliard two-stories always warmer in July?
Most Central Ohio two-story homes rely on a single basement furnace and AC to cool three levels (basement, first floor, and second floor). Upgrading to a variable-speed ECM furnace blower with two-stage cooling—and balancing basement vs. second-floor dampers—pushes much stronger airflow to the top floor.

Your local weather
Columbus sits in IECC Climate Zone 5A right near the southern transition to Zone 4A. Summers are warm and humid with frequent thunderstorm fronts, while winters bring freezing temperatures, ice, and snow from November through March—making balanced heating and cooling efficiency essential.
Homes and ductwork
Inner-ring neighborhoods like Clintonville, Grandview Heights, German Village, Bexley, and Upper Arlington feature early-to-mid-century brick colonials, Tudors, and cape cods with stone or block basements and tight duct chases. Outer-belt suburbs across Dublin, Powell, Westerville, New Albany, Hilliard, and Grove City are dominated by 1980s–2020s two-story homes over full basements.
Utilities and rebates
AEP Ohio (or the municipal Columbus Division of Power in select city neighborhoods, and Westerville Electric in Westerville) for electricity, and Columbia Gas of Ohio for natural gas. Columbia Gas and local electric utilities periodically offer efficiency programs and rebates.
