Whether you are using a furnace or an air conditioner, changing the filter at regular intervals is key to keeping your air clean. Not only do dirty filters detract from the quality of the air you breathe, but they can also reduce your energy efficiency and decrease the overall performance of the system. An old or dirty filter can restrict airflow, causing the system to work harder to deliver air, and in the case of a furnace, make it burn hotter and risk creating a fire hazard.
HVAC systems rely on filters to keep dust, dirt, and other pollutants out of the air and away from internal components. A clean filter promotes good air quality and helps to keep your HVAC system running safely and efficiently. Keeping up with regular filter changes not only helps maintain a healthy indoor environment but can improve the efficiency of your HVAC system.
2. Get Your System Inspected
Having your system inspected by a professional at least once a year will help ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Our trained technicians will be able to identify any problems your system might be having and take the necessary steps to make sure it is running as smoothly as possible, which will ultimately improve the air quality in your home or business.
This kind of preventative maintenance can save you money in the long run by reducing the chances of facing costly repairs down the line. Furthermore, it also serves to extend the life of your system and make sure you are getting the most out of it.
Cleaning the vents in your home or business helps to ensure that your system is blowing clean, fresh air. If you don’t clean the vents, dust, dirt, and pollen can quickly build up and compromise the air quality in your home.
4. Monitor Humidity Levels
High or low levels of humidity can affect the air quality in your home. The optimal range is between 30 to 50%. If humidity levels in your home or business become unbalanced, you can use a dehumidifier or humidifier to adjust the levels.
You should have your air conditioner or furnace cleaned regularly to prevent dust and debris from accumulating and spreading throughout your home or business. Our technicians can clean your system to keep it running efficiently and your air flowing cleanly.
6. Schedule Maintenance for Your System
Scheduling regular maintenance for your heating and air conditioning systems will help to ensure that they are running efficiently and at optimal levels. One of our technicians can visit your home or business to perform any necessary adjustments to keep your system running smoothly.
7. Use a Whole-House Air Purifier
Installing a whole-house air purifier can provide countless benefits for the air quality in your home or business. Our technicians can help you choose the right air purifier for your specific needs in order to ensure optimal purification. With the installation of an air purifier, you can help to filter out pollen, dust, pet dander, and other contaminants that could otherwise be a hazard to your health and the people around you.
AIR purifiers offer a simple and effective way to maintain a safe and clean environment for your home or work. Moreover, they can help to reduce allergies and respiratory problems by preventing pollutants from entering the airways. Our team of technicians is trained to offer specific advice tailored to your needs, ensuring you make the right decision for your environment.
8. Choose Energy-Efficient Systems
When it’s time to replace your heating and cooling systems, make sure to choose energy-efficient models. Energy-efficient systems will help to reduce energy costs and improve the air quality in your home or business.
9. Avoid Chemical Products
Air fresheners, scented candles, and aerosol sprays can all contribute to poor air quality. These chemicals can cause allergies or even respiratory problems. To improve the air quality in your home or business, opt for natural, chemical-free alternatives for freshening the air.
Adding houseplants to your home or business can help to naturally purify the air and filter out pollutants. Certain plants like the Peace Lily, Boston Fern, and Florist’s Chrysanthemum have been found to have air-purifying qualities.
