Why To Use A Dehumidifier This Summer

Feeling hot and sticky during the summer is a familiar feeling. And while you can’t change the oppressive air outdoors, it’s a different story inside your home.
Enter the dehumidifier—a home appliance that removes water vapor from the air to help you control humidity. There are some clear signs when a dehumidifier is a must: dampness on windows, mildew growth, musty odors, peeling paint. But even when humidity’s effects aren’t so obvious, this tool can be an important summertime addition to your home. Here’s why.

Some Common Summer HVAC Problems

The hotter it gets during the summer, the more calls we receive for air conditioner repair. And it’s not just because people are less likely to put off a repair when it’s 100 degrees outside. The hot, humid summer weather actually makes breakdowns more likely (which is why we encourage homeowners with older HVAC units to consider replacing them in the spring BEFORE they breakdown). Here are a few of the most common problems we see with air conditioners during the dog days of summer.

4 Types of MERV Filters

As an HVAC professional, your customers rely on you for all their heating and cooling needs. Sometimes, it is something as significant as a total HVAC system replacement. In other cases, it’s as simple as a recommendation on the right air filter. When a homeowner asks which Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) air filter is best to use, it’s important to understand the four main types so you can determine what will be best for the customer’s air quality needs and budget.

Benefits of a Water Purification System

If your home suffers from hard, iron water or has a bad smell and taste, or you are concerned with the amount of chlorine in the water system, then it is time to consider having a water purifier installed in your home or place of business. With the declining quality and purity of drinking water, more people are worrying about the health effects that poor quality can have on their bodies and over all health.

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

Weighing both the pros and cons of insulation - whether it is fiberglass, cellulose or spray foam insulation - can be a great way to decide which the best choice for your home is. As with anything, if the positives outweigh the negatives, it is a good decision that pays dividends. The advantages of spray foam insulation are a list of strong attributes that can help make your choice a simple and easy one.
