As parents, ensuring the safety and comfort of our children is always a top priority. While your HVAC system keeps your home cozy in winter and cool in summer, it’s important to educate kids about how to interact with it safely. Here are some practical tips for parents to keep HVAC systems running efficiently while teaching children to respect these vital home appliances.
If you’re anything like the average homeowner, you probably don’t think very much about the ductwork running through your home. This makes sense! After all, ductwork is usually hidden up in attics, in the crawlspace, or even behind drywall. You shouldn’t really need to think about your air ducts that much, let alone what condition they’re in.
However, it is actually important to think about this from time to time. They do need some attention after all. You do not need to know all the ins and outs, but there are some things we’d like to share with you about how dirty ductwork can impact your indoor air quality, as well as your HVAC efficiency. Read on to learn more about these two reasons that professional duct cleaning is totally worth it.
If you think the only reason you should change your air filter is due to the allergens and particles in your indoor air, you’re only partially right.
Many homeowners do, in fact, assume that a dirty air filter is an issue because it keeps the air in their homes dirty, and that this is why we advise to change that air filter every 1-3 months. So if you aren’t suffering from allergies in the moment, this means your air filter is fine where it is, right?
Well, not quite—you see, while an air filter does help with indoor air quality, this is not actually its intended purpose. Rather, it is in place to protect the interior components of your air conditioner, or forced air heater. Read on to learn more, and to get the answer as to why you must change your air filter.
If there’s anything we can say with confidence about your heater here in the St. Augustine area, it’s that you want yours to operate as efficiently as possible, right? We may not need to run our heaters as often or as long as other parts of the country—but when we do run ours, we need it to operate well and not cost an arm and a leg.
More important than that, however, is how safely your furnace operates, and yours may not be, if it has a cracked heat exchanger.
Furnaces are not dangerous appliances. They wouldn’t be so widely used and sold if they were. But if you are using a gas-powered heating system and not properly caring for it, it can become dangerous, especially as it ages. And the most common reason for this danger is a cracked heat exchanger in a furnace older than 10-15 years old. Read on to learn more!
As part of the American Tax Payer Relief Act of 2012, appliances meeting certain requirements for efficiency are eligible for tax credits. That program was recently extended thru this calendar year, so any of our customers that purchased a new qualifying system may qualify for this newly reenacted tax credit program. If you purchased a new HVAC system through us in 2014, you will want to find out if your unit qualifies and if so, you’ll need to provide your tax preparer with a copy of the invoice and the AHRI Certificate of Product Rating.
Please call us with any questions, don’t let this great opportunity pass you by and miss out on possible savings! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from Climate Masters!
