Did you know that nearly half of your home energy bills go toward heating and cooling costs? Unless you reside in an amazingly temperate region, you will need a system that provides the following functions-heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, or HVAC for short. Regular window units are probably the most common way to fight the heat during the summer months. But they are also extremely inefficient and inconvenient.
These large, ostensibly portable units must be removed and replaced when the seasons changed. If they are not, homeowners and apartment dwellers alike can lose beaucoup bucks on heat loss when the weather turns cold. Not to mention the fact that maintenance can be a chore. Disposable air filters must be replaced about once a month. By comparison, central heating and cooling systems are nearly worry-free.
Because the machine that powers the system is located outside of the home or apartment, turning on the air is not nearly as noisy as it would be with a traditional window unit. There is also far less maintenance, since the air travels through a series of ducts and is not simply taken from the outside. A central HVAC system is also a lot cheaper because it is more efficient and requires less care. But that does not mean it is completely maintenance free.
Regular duct cleaning
Although they have not reached a consensus as of yet, there is ample evidence to suggests that duct cleaning improves energy efficiency and may even prevent health problems. The reason for this is patently clear. The less dust and other environmental allergens in our homes, the less likely we are to inhale them and to react in a negative way. Illnesses, infections, and allergic reactions can all be reduced if you install a central HVAC system and clean it on a regular basis.
Pollutant can still gain access to the home, of course. Smoke, allergens, and dust can move through open ducts, just as they could through open vents in AC units that jut out from open windows. But regular duct cleaning can reduce the risk of mold, which can and often does form on traditional units, especially if they are improperly stored when not use. Window units must also be thoroughly cleaned before and after they are installed and removed.
Air conditioning repair costs
Most of the new homes that are built in America today have central HVAC systems. The older ones, on the other hand, still rely on antiquated window units. They do this because the installation costs are prohibitive, particularly if you want to put them in after the abode has been erected. An upgrade can cost ten to fifteen thousand dollars on an existing home, but is around half that for a new home, since alterations and adjustments need not be made.
Because certain sections of your heating and cooling system may not be accessible for a regular visible examination, it is important to schedule annual inspections. During these duct cleaning sessions, HVAC professionals will search for mold growth. If they find it, they will take samples and have it tested. And if the results come back positive, they will have to remove the mold with special instruments and cleaners. These experienced technicians are also trained to remove insects and rodents and to clean dirty, dusty ducts that have either been neglected or were damaged by a storm.
