For homeowners in Smithtown, Huntington, Islip, Patchogue, Riverhead, and beyond, your HVAC system is working harder than ever.

At Absolute HVAC, we’re helping families across Babylon, Port Jefferson, Glen Cove, Bay Shore, Hauppauge, Bellport, and East Hampton stay cool, safe, and energy efficient during this critical stretch of the summer.


🌡️ Mid-July HVAC Struggles Are Real


If you've noticed any of the following, your HVAC system may be struggling:

  • Uneven cooling from room to room
  • Higher than usual electric bills
  • Warm air blowing from vents
  • Loud or unusual noises coming from your unit


These are warning signs that it’s time to schedule a mid-summer HVAC check-up, especially if your system hasn’t been serviced since the spring.


✅ Mid-July HVAC Tips for Long Island Homeowners


1. Schedule a Mid-Season Tune-Up

Don’t wait until something breaks. Preventative maintenance can:

  • Improve efficiency
  • Extend the life of your system
  • Prevent emergency breakdowns

We offer fast appointments in Patchogue, Babylon, Huntington, and surrounding areas.


2. Seal and Insulate for Better Cooling

Drafty doors, old windows, or uninsulated attic spaces force your AC to work harder. Sealing leaks and adding insulation can make a big difference—especially in homes across Glen Cove, Islip, and Riverhead.


3. Upgrade Your Thermostat

If you’re still using a basic thermostat, now is the perfect time to upgrade to a smart model. Smart thermostats can:

  • Learn your schedule
  • Save on energy bills
  • Keep your home cooler during heatwaves

Ask us about installations in Hauppauge, Bay Shore, and Bellport.


4. Clear Your Outdoor Condenser Unit

Long Island’s summer storms can blow debris, leaves, and branches around your outdoor unit. Keep it clear to ensure optimal airflow and prevent overheating.


⚠️ Mid-July Is Peak HVAC Emergency Season


The longer and hotter the summer gets, the greater the strain on aging HVAC systems. Absolute HVAC provides:

  • 24/7 emergency service
  • Full system inspections
  • Energy-efficient upgrades
  • Honest, reliable repairs
