Control Your Humidity Today

Monday, June 21st, 2021

Humidity, air conditioning, comfort… All of these concepts are intertwined and you’ll never achieve control of one without the control of the others. For instance, an air conditioner provides a minor amount of dehumidification, but it’s not intended to remove great amounts of moisture from the air. Likewise, your home won’t feel comfortable if it’s only dry, or only cooler, since both humidity and temperature control work hand in hand.

So, as the summer months are right around the corner, it’s time to talk about dehumidification. Regardless of where you stand, we’d like to talk about why a whole-home dehumidifier in Sarasota, FL might be absolutely perfect for your house. When combined with your powerful air conditioner and temperature control, your home will be as comfortable and energy-efficient as possible.

Keep reading and don’t forget to call us if you think a whole-home dehumidifier is right for you.

It’s Time to Filter Your Air

Monday, August 3rd, 2020

Contaminants didn’t use to be such a bad problem for our indoor air, believe it or not. Back in the day, homes were drafty and a strong outside wind could blow through your home and push contaminants like dust and dirt out. While that sounds like a good thing, it would make heating and air conditioning an absolute nightmare.

Today, we’re much more efficient with our HVAC solutions. We seal our homes up tightly so that cooled or heated air stays indoors where you can remain comfortable without using as much energy. This means your air is more contaminated than it used to be, and dust or dirt has nowhere to go but to stay inside.

Air filters in Sarasota, FL are the solution you might be looking for. If your indoor air quality has been poor, then an air filter can help keep those contaminants from becoming a problem. Let’s talk about how an air filtration system works and whether it’s right for your home.

Assess Your Indoor Air Quality Today

Monday, January 6th, 2020

Indoor air quality is a harder subject to approach with homeowners than something like heating or air conditioning. With temperature control, more often than not you can feel the difference by way of your own comfort. It’s hard to get used to sweating and overheating, which is why you’ll know when you need solid air conditioning service. Likewise with a heater, if you’re freezing on a chilly day then you’ll know that heater service is something you’ll absolutely want.

However, with indoor air quality, homeowners can have poor air quality inside their homes and believe that it’s normal. We’ve stepped into plenty of homes that are full of dust, debris, and pet dander to the point of being a respiratory problem, but homeowners don’t often notice since we can get used to our poor air quality easily. So, as your resident specialist team for HVAC in Sarasota, FL we’re going to fill you in on a few ways you can watch for your lousy air quality.
