• Air Cleaners and Air Purifiers: These systems eliminate contaminants directly by pulling them out of the air. Think of them as your frontal assault on air quality issues.
• Air Humidifiers: Maintaining a good humidity level is a key part of indoor air quality, especially if people in your home suffer from asthma or respiratory allergies. As a bonus, a humidifier will help to preserve your wooden furniture.
• Ventilators: Letting in fresh air is a great way to improve air quality, but during the cooling season, you can’t just open a window without undermining your air conditioner. Ventilators work with your other HVAC systems to cycle in fresh air without wasting energy.
• UV Lamps: Bacteria in the air are a threat to your family’s health and safety. These simple lamps zap them away with ultraviolet light.

Heating and cooling systems work incredibly hard to perform their functions for your household or business. The constant stopping, starting and continual operation can wear down a machine quickly and unexpectedly if the proper care and maintenance is delayed. However, by performing preventive maintenance, or servicing your system regularly, you can maximize the life-cycle of your heating or cooling unit and guard against many unexpected failures. Preventive maintenance inspections performed on a regular basis can uncover leaks, rust, rot, soot, frayed wires and corroded electrical contacts.

Here are several tips to help you keep your HVAC system running efficiently:

1. Change the air filters every month or as directed by your system’s manufacturer.

2. Cut back foliage and remove any leaves, grass trimmings or debris left by nearby dryer vents that might be blocking air flow to the air conditioner or heat pump.

3. Sign up for our yearly Improvement Plan an have your system serviced by a licensed professional at the beginning of each season.

Setting the thermostat too high when it is cold outside is a surefire way to waste money. The warmer your home is, the faster thermal energy will be lost to the outside. The lower the temperature inside of the home, the slower the rate of thermal energy loss. Setting your thermostat between 68 to 72 degrees will help you achieve optimal comfort while there are people inside of the home. This ideal temperature range is sufficient enough to warm up the home and keep everyone comfortable, without putting a strain on your unit and raising your bills.
