about us

Dust is a mix of small particles from various sources inside and outside your home. Here are the main reasons for dust:

• Shedding: Our skin cells, hair, and clothing fibers constantly flake off, adding to the dust. Pets contribute fur and dander.

• Outdoor invaders: Soil, pollen, and dust particles from outside gets in through open windows, doors, and shoes. Living on a dirt road or near construction can worsen this.

• Fabric traps: Rugs, carpets, furniture upholstery, and curtains trap dust particles.

• Airborne circulation: Dust mites thrive in warm, humid environments. Their droppings and dead bodies become part of the dust.

• Other factors: Poor ventilation, infrequent cleaning, leaky doors, and leaky windows lead to dust buildup.

High humidity can make your home feel stuffy, uncomfortable, and lead to mold growth. Here are some reasons why your house might be humid:

• Weather: If you live in a humid and warm climate, there's more moisture in the air that can get into your house.

• Daily activities: Showering, cooking, and doing the laundry bring moisture into the air. Keep the bathroom door closed and use exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom.

• Venting issues: If your dryer vents into the house, it can add significant moisture. Also, a broken AC unit might not remove moisture from the air.

• Oversize: equipment oversize is one of the biggest problems why humidity is always present in condition space

• Leaks: Leaky pipes, basements, or crawlspaces can bring moisture into your home.

• Structural problems: Poorly sealed doors, windows, or foundations can let humid outdoor air get inside your house.

Feeling surprising chills in certain areas of your home can be frustrating. Here are common factors that can contribute to cold spots:

Airflow Problems:

• Blocked vents: Furniture, toys, or rugs, can block vents, preventing warm air from circulating.

• Leaky ducts: Duct holes or tears can allow heated air to escape before reaching its destination.

• Duct sizing issues: Ducts that are too small or too large for your house can lead to uneven airflow.

• Return vents: Make sure return vents aren't blocked, as they allow air to circulate back to the heating system.

• Insulation issues: Poor insulation in attics, crawlspaces. and walls, allowing heat to get inside and making those areas feel colder.

• Door and window leaks: Drafty doors and windows let cold air get in, creating cold spots near them.

• Poor insulation on walls and ceiling.

• Thermostat malfunction: A faulty thermostat might not accurately display the temperature, leading to uneven heating.

• Improperly sized furnace: If your furnace is too small for your house, it can't keep up with heating demands, especially in larger spaces.

There are 2 reasons why your thermostat might not reach the correct temperature - issues with the thermostat itself, or problems with your HVAC system.

Thermostat Issues:

• Location of thermostat: Often times, thermostats are located in the wrong area and do not sense the correct temperature.

• Dirty or dusty: Dust buildup on the sensor can cause it to display the wrong room temperature. Gently clean the thermostat with a soft cloth.

• Low batteries: If your thermostat uses batteries, check if they're weak and replace them with new ones.

• Incorrect settings: Double-check that the thermostat is set to the correct mode (heat or cool) and the desired temperature.

• Placement: Keep your thermostat away from lamps, vents, or drafty areas.

• Malfunctioning thermostat: If none of the above solutions work, your thermostat might be faulty and need to be replaced.

HVAC System Issues:

• Dirty air filters: A clogged air filter hurts airflow, making it harder for your HVAC system to reach the desired temperature. Replace your air filter regularly.

• Blocked vents or ducts: Furniture, rugs, or closed vents can affect air circulation. Ensure vents are open and unobstructed. For issues with ducts, consult us.

• Undersized HVAC system: If your system is too small for your house, it might not be able to maintain the right temperature.

• HVAC malfunction: There could be problems with the air conditioner, furnace, or parts. If you think you have an HVAC issue, call us for service.

The recommended frequency for changing air filters depends on a few factors:

Filter Type:

There are 2 main types of air filters:

• Fiberglass filters: They are the most affordable option, but they also collect less dust and allergens. They should be changed every 30 days, or more often in heavily polluted environments.

• Pleated filters: They are more expensive upfront, but last longer and capture more dust particles. They can generally last up to 90 days, depending on usage, media filters usually need to be replaced every six months or as needed.

Home Environment:

• Pets: If you have pets, they shed fur and dander, which can clog air filters more quickly. In homes with pets, consider changing filters every 45-60 days.

• Air quality: If you live in an area with high pollution levels, dusty environments, or pollen, you'll need to change your filters more often, likely every 45-60 days.

• Seasonality: During seasons with heavy pollen or allergens, you might need to change your filters more frequently, perhaps every 6-8 weeks.
