How does a heating or air conditioning system so strongly affect the air quality in a home?

One of the biggest things that a heating and air conditioning system does for a home is control the temperature. This obvious benefit has secondary benefits that are often overlooked. The heating process expands the air and allows for more moisture to be held, allowing for dry air to become more humid. The opposite happens in the cooling process where a compressor draws moisture from the air to cool it. This can be critical in wet heat after summer rain storms. The air filters in a home also provide a critical service in removing many of the most common irritants as they circulate through the interior space of a home. The following list details some of the most important factors that are affected by a home air system:

  • Bacteria- Airborne bacteria can be a major cause of illness and irritation all year round. A clean filtration system is the first line of defense against these organisms.
  • Humidity- The cooling and heating of the air moderates the relative humidity in a home. This can be critical in dry or wet times of the year.
  • Dust- The biggest irritant that circulates through a home, dust is so prevalent that it can clog vents and filters if not cleaned. This substance needs to be removed from a home to keep the air healthy and breathable.
  • Mold- If a home has developed a mold problem, it can be a major health risk. This substance is a serious problem and the first step that should be taken against it is a clean filtration system.
  • Pollen- This can be a problem all year round and should be prevented from ever entering a home. Clean air filters will prevent this substance from circulating.
  • Pet dander- When a homeowner has pets inside for any amount of time, they release dander into the air. This substance can cause a significant amount of irritation and should be removed.

When should a homeowner seek out air conditioning and heating repair services?

If a homeowner suspects that they are in need of repairs, they should not waste any time and immediately schedule an inspection. Taking that first step ensures that their air units will not break down. Preventative maintenance is almost always less expensive than responding to sudden problems. No homeowner wants to be surprised by a lack of temperature control in the depth of winter or the blazing summer sun. Technicians are in agreement that a homeowner should schedule maintenance once a year for their main air units. These technicians also agree that the air filters in a home should be cleaned once every three months.

What are the common issues that indicate the need for air conditioner repairs or furnace repairs?

There are many problems that can manifest in completely unique ways. A homeowner should not be afraid to call an expert and schedule maintenance if they suspect a problem. Losing air circulation and temperature control is never a positive experience. While many problems cannot be predicted, the following list covers some of the more frequent issues that can come up:

  • Specific parts of the home experience cold spots or hot spots. This is usually an indication that the air system is clogged or leaking. Air filters and vents should be checked.
  • The air conditioner or heater will not start when prompted to. This could be a simple problem with a thermostat or could be a more serious issue with the main unit. Fans and compressors should be checked.
  • The utility bills of a home have begun to rise without a change in usage. This can be an issue with a thermostat or a problem with vents being clogged or leaking.
  • The heater or air conditioner starts slowly and runs long. This is usually a problem with the thermostat malfunctioning.
