Can It Prevent Mold and Mildew Growth In My A/C System?

Yes!

When our technicians inspect your A/C system, they will ensure there is no mold, mildew, dust, or any other contaminants that can negatively affect your home’s health. Our technicians will inspect your ductwork to ensure it is free of the same microorganisms. Investing in a combination of UV lights, an air purification system, or antimicrobial ductwork will increase system efficiency while preventing the growth of bacteria.

Is It Compatible With My Current A/C System?

Yes!

Many homeowners wonder if they will need to upgrade their system if they choose to upgrade their ductwork. The answer is no! Just because you upgrade one component doesn’t mean you must upgrade the other. However, more often than not, homeowners go through multiple A/C systems before they realize they need to upgrade their ductwork alongside it. Leaky ducts cause a home to lose 20-30% of heated or cooled air, meaning that even the highest efficiency system can only deliver 70-80% of its expected performance. Your system will be even more efficient with updated ductwork. Especially that of antimicrobial capabilities!

Will It Save Me Money?

Yes!

An Indoor Air Quality Evaluation will free your system of any dust and debris causing it to overwork. A technician will also check to ensure your ductwork is appropriately sized for your home, if it is dented or damaged, or if it has disintegrated over time. If you choose to upgrade to antimicrobial ductwork, the insulation value will increase, contributing to the efficiency of your system.

Why Should I Schedule Today?

Proactively scheduling will ensure that your system is working efficiently and your home’s air is as clean as possible. Even 1/20” of dust on your system’s blower wheel can attribute to your allergies. When a technician inspects your system and ductwork, they will be able to see if your ductwork is appropriately sized for your home and what shape it is in.

These are just a few of the common questions our team receives in regard to our $49 Indoor Air Quality Evaluation. Give our team a call with any additional questions or to improve your home’s Indoor Air Quality today at (772) 940-5724!

5 Signs You May Not Be Sick … It's Just Your Indoor Air Quality

5 Adverse Health Effects of Poor Indoor Air Quality

As the seasons begin to change, it is easy to overlook symptoms such as a common cold or allergies rather than attribute them to poor indoor air quality. Air quality is a crucial component of our health and contrastingly easy to overlook due to its transparent and odorless nature. The average American spends 90% of their time indoors, so it is important to pay attention to the signs of indoor air pollutants. Continue reading to find out the common misconceptions between the common cold and poor indoor air quality! 

Respiratory Issues

Respiratory problems are a common indicator of indoor air pollutants. If you begin to notice consistent unrest inside your home that is accompanied by coughing, congestion, sore throat, and sneezing, you may want to consider receiving an indoor air quality evaluation. 

Headaches 

Man with a headacheFinding the cause of headaches or migraines is never an easy task. If you notice that you are experiencing an influx of headaches while being inside, or in a particular space, this may be an indication of poor air quality. 

Asthma Flare-Ups

If you or a family member is experiencing an increase in asthma attacks with no change in routine, the culprit could potentially be indoor air pollutants. Instant relief is attainable with a medicated inhaler, but it is important to get to the root of the problem by contacting our ELITE team for an air quality evaluation. If these flare-ups continue, we urge you to contact a medical professional.

Flu-Like Symptoms 

Flu-Like SymptomsPoor indoor air quality can lead to a combination of symptoms that may be easily confused with the flu. While air quality is most commonly linked to respiratory issues, it has the potential to lead to other issues like dizziness, headaches, and watery eyes. Fortunately, these issues can be alleviated with an air purifier that traps common household air pollutants. 

Fatigue 

If you begin to notice yourself constantly feeling tired, your air quality may be the cause. Long-term exposure to poor indoor air quality not only can cause fatigue but also long-term effects such as accelerated aging of the lungs, asthma, and bronchitis. 

Fortunately, indoor air quality can be quickly improved by the installation of air filtration systems, UV air purifiers, and duct cleaning by our ELITE team.
