Have you ever just cleared the dinner table after a nice meal inside your Mill Hall, home and went to turn your garbage disposal on, only to hear it making an unusual humming sound?
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) filters and the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield have a lot in common. They both can tout, “I don’t get no respect!”
Just like your lungs are an important connection to the rest of your respiratory system, your home’s ductwork, or air ducts, are importantly connected to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. For your HVAC system—and your lungs—to perform at peak level, the numerous airways need to be open and clear. All in the name of breathing properly.
One way to improve your indoor air quality is to maintain your air ducts. If you live in a home with central air conditioning, the airflow circulates through these ducts. Keeping them well-maintained reduces the number of pollutants in the air and also helps your air conditioner (AC) and furnace operate more efficiently.
According to the US DOE, air conditioners use about 6 percent of all electricity in the country at a cost of roughly $29 billion to homeowners.
Sometimes, life moves incredibly fast. You could have sworn you just bought your air conditioner. But lately, it doesn’t seem to be working so well.
Can you imagine a scorching hot day here in Mill Hall without air conditioning? During those dog days of summer, your air conditioning system can be your very best friend.
Stand outdoors on one of those days when the weather feels perfect, take a few deep breaths, and enjoy the fresh air.
You just discovered there is a puddle of water on the floor in front of your furnace. What does this mean? Why would your furnace be leaking water?
It’s understandable that maintenance tasks often fall by the wayside. Many Mill Hall homeowners follow the mantra of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Everyone is busy and many seemingly more important priorities tend to creep up every month to consume time and money.
