Your air quality system is important; not only does it keep your Fraser, MI home comfortable, but your filtration and purification systems ensure that the air you breathe keeps you healthy. However, for your system to work effectively, you want your home to be as tightly sealed as possible. If you've never had a technician perform an energy assessment, especially using a blower door test, you may wish to look into having one done. Without that, though, there are still things that you can do at home to find and eliminate leaks.

Whether you live in a house or an apartment, there's a good chance that your air quality system, air cleaner, or purifier uses a filter. Keeping these filters clean and changed on a regular basis is vital to your home maintenance, ensuring that your systems function at peak efficiency all year round.

As mentioned in several of our webpage's articles on Air Cleaning, home pollutants are varied, and can come from almost anywhere. With spring just around the corner, it's very likely one of the larger pollutants in your home will in fact be pollen. If you've ever wondered why when you've been inside, and your allergies haven't been acting up, but as soon as you go outside, they begin to flare—consider that "fresh" outdoor air can have 30 million or more pollutant particles per cubic foot. Much of this is likely to be dust and pollen, particularly in the spring. No wonder your nose gets itchy!

An unfortunate truth of the industry is that many companies of ill-repute have been known to scam customers through bogus duct-cleaning services. Typically, such a company will advertise extremely cheap duct-cleaning services, only to turn around once a technician is on-site, and declare that your ducts are in need of a much more expensive service. Sometimes, these technicians don't even inspect your ducts!

The particles you breathe in your home come from a variety of sources. Some particles are so small that they are inhaled and then exhaled without being trapped in your lungs. Some larger particles are trapped in your nose and throat and never reach your lungs. Still other particles are too large to be inhaled.The particles most dangerous to you are those that enter your lungs and lodge there. This month C and C Heating and Air Conditioning is offering 25% off of all filters.
