How does the air conditioner and furnace so directly impact the comfort level of a home?

The biggest benefit of having a central air system in a home is the temperature controls. Outside of that primary purpose, there are a number of tertiary perks to having a functioning ventilation and air system. The biggest bonus is humidity control. The cooling process uses a compressor that causes moisture to condense and fall out of the air. This is particularly effective in the humid summers in Louisiana. The same process happens in reverse when the air is heated, allowing for the same amount of air to hold more moisture. One other overlooked feature of a healthy air system in a home are the air filters. These small devices can play a huge role in the comfort and livability of an interior space. Air filters capture a huge quantity of irritants that come from both inside the home and outside. The following list goes over some of the more common factors that an air system moderates:

• Bacteria- This can be a problem all year round and is especially a concern if some of the residents in a home are sick. Filters will capture many airborne illnesses and prevent them from circulating to other rooms in the house.
• Humidity- This is automatically controlled by the heating and cooling processes. Air conditioners remove moisture, while heaters allow for more of it.
• Mold- If a home has developed a mold problem, the first step to fixing this problem is replacing or cleaning the air filters. Mold spreads through a home by releasing spores that travel through the air. Filters will prevent these from spreading.
• Pollen- This can be a major problem for allergy sufferers and can happen at any point in the year. Air filters are the first line of defense against external pollen and can have a huge impact on the health of residents.
• Pet dander- This substance is a major issue in homes that have one or more animals living indoors. Air filters remove this from the air as it circulates.
• Dust- This is the biggest problem for air quality in any home. This substance is captured so much by air filters that it can clog them if they are not replaced or cleaned.

How does a homeowner know when it is time for them to schedule air conditioning service or heating repair service?

If a homeowner does not know when the last air conditioner or heater inspection took place, they should go ahead and plan on having an inspection soon. This can establish a timeline for future inspections and also remove the stress of worrying about the air system. Having an initial inspection also establishes a relationship with a local company so when the time comes for repairs they can be done quickly and possibly for less money. Preventive maintenance is always the key in keeping costs down and outages low. Most experts recommend that the main air unit of a home be inspected once every year. These same experts also recommend that air filters be cleaned or replaced once every three months.

What are some of the more frequent issues that homeowners can spot that indicates an impending need for air conditioning repairs or furnace repairs?

The most important thing for them to keep in mind when trying to determine if they need expert assistance is that preventive maintenance is almost always easier and less expensive than dealing with emergency repairs. By dealing with issues as they appear and not putting off potential repairs, a homeowner is making the responsible choice.
