Do You Need Air Filters or Air Purifiers for Your House?

Monday, June 27th, 2022

If you’re asking yourself whether you should have air filters or air purifiers added to your house, it’s because you’re concerned about the quality of your indoor air. You have good reason to feel worried: poor indoor air quality is a major problem in many buildings, with the Environmental Protection Agency estimating that the air quality indoors is often three to five times worse than the air outdoors. This is because buildings like your home are constructed for maximum insulation—and this means there’s little fresh air circulating to cleanse out stale and contaminate-filled air.

Air filtration and purification systems are an excellent way to boost your home’s air quality by removing the majority of unwanted particles from moving through the HVAC system. But how do you know which one to get and what type you need? The job is easier than you think: you just need to get in touch with our team. We offer full service to install indoor air quality systems.

Can My Air Conditioner Rust?

Monday, September 6th, 2021

Any metal that comes into contact with water in the presence of oxygen can rust. So the short answer to the question in the title is, yes. Rust on an AC is more likely to happen in a place like coastal Florida because of our high humidity and the amount of salt in the air. The outdoor components of your home’s air conditioning system are in regular contact with moisture and salt, and this can lead to parts of it rusting.

The good news is that AC manufacturers build their systems to resist rust for many years. It can still occur, however, and we’re going to take a look at what can happen when you’ve got a rusty AC and what you can do about it.

How UV Air Purifiers Can Help Your Home

Monday, June 28th, 2021

It is no secret that homes across the US have frequent problems with maintaining good indoor air quality. Modern homes are designed to prevent the loss or gain of heat through open areas. While that can ensure that indoor temperatures remain cooler or warmer than outdoor temperatures, depending on the season, it also means that there is little chance for fresh air circulation to clean out the concentration of airborne contaminants inside.

Here in Palm Harbor, one of the biggest concerns we face for indoor air quality is through contaminants like mold spores, viruses, and bacteria. The high humidity in the area makes it easier for mold to develop in parts of our homes, causing mold infestations. The presence of microbes also increases the chances of you getting sick by breathing in these contaminants.

Fortunately, installing an air purifier in Palm Harbor, FL, can help you get rid of the problem. Air purifiers come in different shapes and forms. Today, we will discuss ultraviolet (UV) air purifiers and how they can make your home better.
