Improving Your Indoor Air Quality At Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling, we have numerous ways to help improve the air quality in your home. Combining several solutions and practices can actively remove pollutants from indoor air. We offer these air quality services: Duct Inspection and Cleaning Air ducts in our homes can collect dust and debris over time. This happens more often in the spring and fall when the HVAC system isn’t operating as often. The accumulated dust and debris are then blown throughout the home when the system is running. This dust is then inhaled by family members or returned to the HVAC system through the air vents. Our HVAC specialists will perform a thorough cleaning of the home ducts. They will at the same time look for leaks that can admit dust. In addition, we will service the dryer vents, which also collect lint, pet dander, and other particulates. Regularly cleaning the ducts and the dryer vents in a home can improve indoor air quality. Air Filters It may be easy to forget to change the filters in the HVAC system, but that would be a mistake. The filters need to be replaced as soon as they are full to improve home air quality and help the HVAC system run more efficiently. Our technicians will check all air filters and make sure they are either changed or cleaned so they will clean the air as they are designed to. Humidity Control If the air in a home is allowed to be too humid, it can be uncomfortable and promote the growth of mildew and mold. On the other hand, if the air is too dry it will irritate family members’ eyes, skin, throats, and noses and cause static electricity. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling offers both dehumidifiers and humidifiers installed in the HVAC system and controlled by the system thermostat. This allows the humidity to always be at the correct level with no effort from the homeowner. Air Filtration and Purification While normal air filters catch larger dust and particulate particles, a dedicated air filtration system will catch the smaller particles as well. This will ensure even cleaner, more healthy air for family members to breathe. We will help you choose the best filtration or air purification system for your home. Choices include HEPA filters, media air cleaners, or electronic air filters. Summers’ HVAC Technicians Our HVAC technicians are well-trained. licensed, and certified.
