Indoor Air Quality

Air filtration is an important component of the home comfort system. The air we breathe the most is the air inside homes and offices. According to the EPA, indoor air, is on average, seven times more polluted than outdoor air. Homes can be loaded with dust, pollen spores and other pollutant particles. Combine that with the fact that we spend 90% of our time inside and indoor air quality becomes a major concern. Installed in your air conditioning and heating system, central air cleaners with sophisticated filtering capabilities have become the accepted way to improve indoor air quality.

Duct Leakage

Air ducts are the components of your central system which distribute conditioned air to various parts of your home. Supply ducts carry the air to the individual rooms of home, and the return ducts carry the air back to the air handler or furnace. Ducts are manufactured from various materials including; rigid fiberglass ductboard, sheet metal and flex duct ( a wire reinforced mylar inner liner with fiberglass insulation wrapped around it, and a durable vapor barrier on the outside ). A leaky duct system can double the cost of keeping your comfortable. Recent studies by the State of Florida Energy Office, Florida Solar Energy center, and researchers around the world show that duct leakage is the biggest energy water in a typical home. And, can account for up to 40 percent of a home's cooling and heating energy use.
