Dust mites, mold spores, bacteria and chemical emissions may be part of the daily contaminant load, creating illness and allergies. Residential air purification technology has come of age to meet this need:  Read More »

Is It Time For Your Next Duct Cleaning Appointment?

Is It Time For Your Next Duct Cleaning Appointment?  Duct cleaning generally refers to a more extensive procedure than just cleaning the ducts themselves. A comprehensive duct cleaning will address HVAC system components including but not limited to grilles, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, supply and return air ducts, registers, and fan motor and air handler housings. Cleaning these components is part of proper HVAC maintenance, and if they’re not properly cleaned, you risk contamination of your HVAC system with dust, pollen and other debris. Mold may also form if moisture is present. Read More »

How Air Conditioning Works, And Why You Need To Prep Your System For The Upcoming Heat

An air conditioner is made up of two main parts, the evaporator coil and the condenser unit. Air passes over the evaporator coil, which cools the air and removes moisture from the air. The refrigerant in the coil absorbs heat from the indoor air and travels to the outside condenser where the heat is released. Unrestricted airflow, refrigerant levels, and clean coils and filters are all important for efficient operation of an A/C system. Read More »

Why You’ll Be Safer With InsulSafe Insulation

InsulSafe is fiberglass blown-in insulation designed for residential and commercial construction. It functions as both a thermal and acoustic insulator and is normally installed in attic spaces and wall voids. InsulSafe insulation is blown into walls and attics with a high-pressure hose and can be installed on top of existing insulation. Once in place, it remains fluffy in consistency without settling, maintains its original R-value, and is not subject to rotting, corrosion or decay.  Generally, this insulation is considered effective for the life of the home.  Read More »

Protect Your Home With An HVAC Ceiling Saver

Protect Your Home With An HVAC Ceiling SaverResidential HVAC systems often include an air handler or related cooling and heating equipment installed in the attic. Most local codes require attic air handlers to be equipped with a pipe to drain away condensation that inevitably accumulates as the air conditioning process removes humidity from the air. A crisis situation quickly develops, however, if this drain pipe plugs and overflowing condensation soaks your ceiling, causing expensive damage as well as creating a welcoming environment for mold in the attic. An effective safeguard against this catastrophe is appropriately known as an HVAC ceiling saver. It consists of an attic drain pan installed under the air handler or evaporator coil to catch condensation overflow in an emergency.  The drain pan drains condensation away into its own dedicated drain pipe, completely separate from the primary condensation drain.
