Grove is in Delaware County, Oklahoma, on the shores of Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees and among the towns listed as served by Heat and Air by Tim. Around the lake, houses range from year-round homes in town to lake houses and weekend places that sit closed for weeks at a time.
Lake living adds its own HVAC concerns. Humidity is high most of the year, homes that sit empty need their systems set to control moisture, and equipment near the water benefits from regular cleaning and checks.
What we see around Grand Lake
Humidity in closed-up houses
A lake house left empty with the system off or set too high can grow musty fast. The right thermostat settings and a properly sized system keep moisture down.
Equipment that works hard
Long summers by the water mean long run times. Coil cleaning and drain line checks prevent the most common summer failures.
Heat pumps for mild winters
Heat pumps suit the area’s winters well, with backup heat for the cold snaps.

Questions from Grove
Grove HVAC questions.
Smell gas? Leave the house without flipping switches and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. CO alarm? Get everyone out and call 911. Never heat the house with an oven, grill or generator.
How should I set the AC in a Grand Lake house I only use on weekends?
Don’t turn it off in summer. Set the thermostat a few degrees above your normal setting, often around 78 to 80°F, so the system still runs enough to pull humidity out of the house.
If the house still feels damp, the system may be oversized or the house may need dedicated dehumidification. That is worth having checked.
Who licenses HVAC contractors in Grove, Oklahoma?
