Reducing Indoor Air Pollutants

Our homes are places we want to make as comfortable as possible. We seal them off from the outside world, creating a controlled space with just the right temperature and humidity levels in the air. But what many of us don’t realize is that sealing off our houses from the fresh outside air can result...

Diagnosing Common AC Problems

Summers in many parts of the U.S. can be brutal (especially in Central Texas!), and AC failures can have devastating outcomes if not rectified as quickly as possible. With that in mind, it helps to know some basics about what to look for to prevent problems before they happen, and to know what to expect when you do have issues that you need fixed. Preventative Maintenance One of the first things you should always do when it comes to maintaining your central air conditioning system is to make sure that the filters are being changed on a regular basis. Failure to do so can result in allergens being sent into the ventilation system, and can lead to debris buildup over time. Eventually, this can damage the unit or introduce grime to the vents. It can lead to uneven cooling around your home, and can lead to a breakdown in your system. In addition to changing your filters, you should consider enrolling in a maintenance program to have your system looked at on a regular basis to catch sma...

Preventing & Reducing Chemical Pollutants in Your Home

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.

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...

Achieving & Maintaining the Ideal Temperature in Your Home

Image
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...
