Do I need a licensed HVAC contractor in Ohio?

Ohio requires HVAC contractors to hold the HVAC Contractor (commercial work requires state license) license from the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board (OCILB).

Cleveland's Great Lakes continental climate delivers warm, muggy summers (83°F highs) moderated by Lake Erie, and cold winters averaging 22°F with lake-effect snow. Heating demand is significant October through April, while cooling runs June through August. Most HVAC manufacturers recommend twice-yearly tune-ups — a cooling check in spring and a heating check in fall — to maintain efficiency and warranty coverage. Many Painesville contractors offer annual maintenance plans that bundle both visits at a discount.

What's the best time of year to schedule HVAC maintenance in Painesville?
