Preventing Mold in Your Home

Image
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. As a result, they tend to have a higher humidity level than other areas of the home such as the living room. One of the ways you can co

When Is The Best Time To Purchase A New A/C?

If you’ve been needing to replace your air conditioning unit for a while but put it off during the winter months, you may be wondering when the best time of year might be for you to finally go through with the purchase. Is it better to wait until summer, when A/C units might be most available because that’s when they’re needed most? Or is it better to make the purchase when there’s more down time? The answer is that there are actually several advantages to purchasing an A/C unit during late winter or early spring, long before the peak cooling season starts. So with the Central Texas heat not too far off in the distance, here are some reasons why you might want to make that purchase sooner rather than later. Professionals Are Not As Booked Out of all the the months of the year, late winter and early spring tend to be the slowest for most professional A/C contractors, and the same is true for if you’re looking in Central Texas. At this time of year, most of the heating work custome

Preventing & Reducing Chemical Pollutants in Your Home

Image
Are we helpless when it comes to controlling pollution? Sure, large corporate factories expel most of the pollution and cause all sorts of havoc for the environment, but so do we when we use chemical pollutants in our homes. Yes, we create pollutants indoors, and sometimes just as many as there are outdoors. Our habits and traditional ways of doing things can harm indoor and outdoor environments. If you don’t think it’s a problem, consider the number of people in your family who suffer from allergies and minor health conditions like eye irritation, nasal congestion, sneezing, headaches, etc. These irritations can be a result of harmful toxins lurking in your home. 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
