🔥 Heat Wave Warning on Long Island: Is Your HVAC System Ready?

As Long Island braces for a scorching heat wave this weekend and into next week, homeowners across Huntington, Smithtown, Islip, Riverhead, Patchogue, Babylon, Glen Cove, Port Jefferson, Hauppauge, Bellport, East Hampton, Bay Shore, and surrounding areas need to take one question seriously: Is your HVAC system prepared to handle the extreme heat?



With temperatures expected to soar into the mid-to-upper 90s, and heat indexes pushing well over 100°F, a poorly functioning air conditioning system isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a health risk.

☀️ What to Expect This Week

• Saturday–Sunday: Highs in the upper 80s to low 90s
• Monday–Tuesday: Temperatures reaching 96°F to 100°F
• High humidity will make it feel even hotter across all of Suffolk and Nassau counties

This is peak demand season for air conditioning systems—and HVAC failures are most likely to happen during times like this.

✅ HVAC Checklist Before the Heat Arrives

Whether you live in Smithtown, Patchogue, or East Hampton, here’s what you should do now to protect your home’s comfort and efficiency:

1. Schedule an Emergency HVAC Tune-Up

Don’t wait until your AC breaks during a 100-degree day. A professional tune-up ensures:

• Full system efficiency
• Clean filters and coils
• Proper refrigerant levels
• Reliable thermostat operation

We offer same-day service in Riverhead, Babylon, Hauppauge, and Bellport to help you stay ahead of the heat.

2. Check and Replace Air Filters

A clogged filter forces your system to work harder. Replace or clean filters now to:

• Improve air quality
• Increase system lifespan
• Lower your electric bill

If you're unsure what size or type you need, we can help—especially for homes in Bay Shore, Port Jefferson, and Glen Cove.

3. Inspect Outdoor Units

Clear any debris, dirt, or plants around your condenser. Long Island storms and lawn debris can restrict airflow, causing overheating and failure.

4. Test Your Thermostat

Make sure your thermostat responds quickly and accurately. Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for energy savings and better control, especially if you're away from home during the day in places like Islip or Babylon.
