Case Study: Sub-standard installation of high-efficiency units

New equipment can fail prematurely under conditions where either improper equipment is selected, or installation standards are not up to code. Often times in these situations the manufacturer’s warranty is voided.

In the case of boiler systems, it is critical the equipment selection is done correctly and installation standards are up to code.

Indoor Air Quality During Wildfire Season

During a wildfire, smoke can make the outdoor air unhealthy to breathe. Local officials may advise you to stay indoors during a smoke event. You should be aware that some of the smoke from outdoors can enter your home and make it unhealthy to breathe indoor air, too. Know how to adjust your HVAC system or air conditioner to keep smoke out. It’s a good idea to get familiar with your HVAC system or air conditioner system, if you have one, so you can adjust it to keep smoke out.

Summer HVAC Maintenance Checklist

In the Spring when the weather is nice, heating and air conditioning is usually the last thing on our mind.. But now as Summer temperature continue to rise it’s a good time for an HVAC inspection and maintenance.

If your heat pump or air conditioner malfunctions, you may have to go several days without it while you wait for a repair or – worse – several weeks without cool air if it needs to be replaced.

Routine HVAC maintenance will prevent breakdowns, improve your system’s performance, extend its life, and reduce your energy bill.

8 Tips For Improving Indoor Air Quality

Even under normal conditions, people spend almost 90 percent of their day indoors – either at home or in the office. Because of energy costs, security issues, drafts, noises, and dirty air from outside, people typically do not open their windows. As a result, EPA studies have shown that human exposure to indoor air pollutants may be 2 to 5 times, and sometimes more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. The key to improving indoor air quality is to design HVAC and other systems to work together to effectively ventilate apartment communities & offices and minimize sources of indoor pollution.
