Preventing Mold in Your Home

Mold and mildew infestations are a common issue that many homeowners face, especially in places that experience high humidity levels like Central Texas often can. A mold infestation can decrease your property value, cause structural damage to your home, and cause health problems for your family. One of the things you can do to prevent mold infestations from occurring is to focus on the three things it needs to survive: a food source, moisture, and an absence of light. Below, we take a look at some things you can do to prevent mold growth in your home. 1) Use A Dehumidifier As mentioned before, mold needs water in order to live. One of the ways mold is able to consume water is from the air via humidity. This is why they tend to grow in places like the attic and basement—these two sections of the home usually aren’t serviced by the home’s HVAC system.

In fact, very high levels of chemical pollutants can affect normally healthy adults by overworking the liver and kidneys. Children, the elderly, and pregnant women are more susceptible to health problems from chemical pollutants. If you want to make the air in your home cleaner for your family, here are some effective way

Achieving & Maintaining the Ideal Temperature in Your Home

Do you constantly feel like your AC or heater fails you because it always seems to be too hot or too cold? Sometimes you may wake up in the middle of the night shivering, other times you may find yourself sweating no matter what temperature it is outside. Of course, everybody wants their home to be at the ideal temperature at any given time of day throughout their home, but it may be tough to achieve a good balance. What is the Ideal Temperature for a Home? There is no “ideal” temperature for a home—each person has a different idea of what a perfect temperature may be. However, there is an ideal range that you should keep your home at to maintain comfort without racking up massive electricity bills or overstraining your system.  The consensus is that the average temperature range in your home should be anywhere between 68 – 75 degrees Fahrenheit to be comfortable. When temperatures are in that range, most people can feel comfortable – though it may come down to a compromise if dif
