Quick answer
Comfort Air Solutions is an HVAC contractor in Cedarville, OH focused on rental turnover duct cleaning, spring and fall tune-ups, and AC and furnace repairs for village homes near Cedarville University and farms in Cedarville Township. The drive runs about 40 minutes via I-675, Xenia and US-42, so most Cedarville visits are scheduled.
Cedarville is a small Greene County village with an outsized population swing: when Cedarville University is in session, thousands of students and faculty fill the streets along US-42. That rhythm affects HVAC work here more than you'd expect, because a good share of the older houses near campus are rentals that change hands every August.
We're about 40 minutes away in Miamisburg, going through Xenia on the way. Landlords and homeowners here mostly book ahead: turnover cleanings, fall and spring tune-ups, and repairs scheduled for the next open day. Urgent calls are welcome, with an honest estimate of when we can realistically make the trip.
Cedarville homes and the HVAC problems we see
Rentals, village homes and farmhouses
The village grid holds 1800s and early-1900s frame houses, many divided or rented, with ductwork that has seen decades of tenants and very few filter changes. Blower wheels caked with dust, matted evaporator coils and flexible returns packed with debris are what we routinely find.
Out in Cedarville Township and along Massies Creek, farmhouses and newer country homes use heat pumps or propane where gas service doesn't reach. Those systems tend to be well cared for but far from help, so a spring and fall visit is the difference between a minor fix and a cold weekend waiting for parts.
For landlords, the most useful pairing is professional air duct cleaning at turnover plus a written maintenance record for each unit. It keeps new tenants from inheriting last year's dust and makes the next inspection easier.
Local to Cedarville
Cedarville sits a short drive from Clifton Gorge and John Bryan State Park, and Yellow Springs is just to the northwest. Massies Creek winds through the village, and US-42 and SR 72 are the roads that bring us in.
The whole village and the surrounding township share the 45314 ZIP, and local kids attend Cedar Cliff schools. Downtown, the restored Cedarville Opera House on Main Street is a handy landmark when we are finding a rental tucked behind it.
Here's a typical August scenario. A landlord has a week between tenants in an older rental near campus, and the last group complained that the upstairs never cooled. We find a filter that clearly hasn't been changed in months, a coil so dirty the airflow is cut in half, and a return duct partly disconnected in the crawlspace. The fix is a coil cleaning, a reconnected and sealed return, a duct cleaning and a fresh filter, then a spring and fall tune-up schedule so the next tenant starts with a system that works.
A Cedarville HVAC guide for landlords, homeowners and the academic year
Cedarville counts a little over 4,000 residents, and a large share of them arrive and leave on the university calendar. That pattern, more than the weather, decides when furnaces and air conditioners in the village get used hard, sit idle or get neglected. The calendar below follows the school year instead of the seasons alone.
The academic-year HVAC calendar
| When | What is happening | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| May | Students move out; houses sit empty | Set the thermostat to a humidity-safe 78 to 80, not off; an idle, closed house near Massies Creek grows mildew fast |
| June–July | Turnover window | Coil and blower cleaning, duct cleaning where needed, new filters, condensate line flush |
| Mid-August | Move-in and the hottest weeks | AC should already be serviced; late tune-ups compete with heat-wave repair calls |
| October | Mid-semester | Furnace tune-up with combustion testing before tenants run the heat |
| December–January | Winter break, houses empty again | Leave heat at 55 or higher and ask a neighbor or manager to check the house |
Tenant-proofing an older Cedarville rental
Student tenants are rarely careless on purpose; they just have never owned a furnace. A few inexpensive steps prevent most of the calls we get from village rentals:
- Write the filter size and change month on the furnace door, and leave a spare filter on a shelf beside it.
- Install a float switch on the AC condensate line so a clog shuts the unit off before water reaches a ceiling below.
- Put CO alarms on each floor and near bedrooms; our carbon monoxide safety service can add low-level monitors that alert sooner.
- Use a thermostat with a locked range so the heat cannot be set to 85 or the AC to 60 by a tenant fighting a drafty room.
Winter break and frozen pipes
The riskiest two weeks for a Cedarville rental are often the empty ones in late December. An older furnace that trips a limit switch or loses its igniter with nobody home can leave a frame house near freezing within a day. A Wi-Fi thermostat that sends an alert when indoor temperature drops is cheap insurance, and if one does go quiet, our emergency furnace repair line takes the call around the clock.

Why Cedarville residents choose Comfort Air Solutions
Built around the college calendar
Landlords near Cedarville University have a narrow window each summer. We book coil cleanings, duct cleaning and tune-ups into the gap between leases so every unit is ready before move-in weekend.
Unit-by-unit records for landlords
For owners with several houses in the village, we log filter sizes, equipment ages and what we found on each visit. That paper trail helps with the next inspection and with budgeting replacements before they turn into emergencies.
Honest duct-cleaning advice
We only recommend a full duct cleaning when the returns, blower and coil show it is needed. In a well-kept Cedarville home, a coil cleaning and a better filter may be the whole answer, and we say so.
Heat pump and propane care beyond the gas lines
Township homes along Massies Creek often run heat pumps or propane furnaces. Seasonal visits catch defrost-board and igniter problems before a cold weekend leaves you waiting on a 40-minute drive.
