Indoor Air Quality: Complete home comfort is about more than just temperature; it's also about maintaining a healthy home with indoor air quality. Dusty, dirty homes at any temperature can mean discomfort. The air in today's tightly-sealed, well-insulated homes can become stale as the same indoor air is circulated and re-circulated. In fact, indoor air quality is among the Environmental Protection Agency's top 3 health concerns. The agency reports that with dust, pollen, pet dander, mold, skin flakes, chemical fumes, cigarette smoke, Radon gas and more, the air inside your home can be 2-5 times dirtier than the air outside. You can count on us for your Whole Home air quality. The first step is a clean duct system. The next step is keeping it that way. With a wide selection of electronic air cleaners, hepa filters, ultra violet air cleaners, humidifiers and any combination of the above we can design an indoor air quality system for any situation.

Q. How can we improve the efficiency of an existing heating and cooling system without replacing the furnace or the air conditioner and without adding more insulation?
A. First and foremost is MAINTENANCE. The equipment needs to be cleaned and serviced by a qualified service professional at least once a year. Studies have shown that lack of proper maintenance can reduce equipment efficiency by 5-10%. In addition, most of today’s filters need to be changed a minimum of every 90 days, and recommended every 30 days. After thorough cleaning, the service technician will adjust the refrigerant in your air conditioner to the manufacturer’s specifications. Keep in mind that an over charged unit is just as bad as an under charged unit when it comes to energy consumption. On the heating side, the burners should be cleaned for maximum performance, as well as adjusting the gas pressure, and cleaning the blower wheel. You may also want to consider a programmable thermostat to set back the temperature while you are away or sleeping. However, you must use your programmable thermostat sensibly. Short (less than 8 hours) or severe (more than 5 Deg. F.) set back periods won’t save much energy, but may shorten the life of the equipment while being stressful on your home and furnishings.
Q. Should I set my thermostat at a constant temperature during the summer months or should I turn it off while we are away and then turn it on when we are home? Which will save me money in the long run?
A. During the summer months I would recommend you set your thermostat back during the day when you are not home. However, I would not recommend that you go over your desired temperature more than four to five degrees. Another recommendation would be that you have a programmable thermostat installed that would automatically change the setting for you once it was programmed. Customers have claimed to save as much as 30 percent on their utility bills just by setting the temperature back when no one is home.
