5 Tips for Improving Indoor Air Quality in Your Home
1. Change your air filter.
Air filters for your home, work similarly to the lungs in our bodies. Your air filter pulls out the dirty air particles and leaves the air cleaner for you and your family to breathe. Make sure your filters are clean.
If your filters are located in the attic or other hard-to-reach spaces, give us a call and we can schedule an air filter service change to be performed by our techs, so you no longer have to be inconvenienced.
2. Set your thermostat to Fan Mode On.
Turning your thermostat fans on will allow the air to continuously circulate throughout the home. Stagnant air can lead to unwanted odors throughout your living areas.
3. Change UV Bulbs.
If you have a UV light filtration unit, check the date of the bulb and make sure it is less than two years old. UV bulbs this age or older lose their germ-killing effectiveness. If it is indeed time to change your UV bulb, Call us and we can replace it for you. GreenBox offers different UV light options if you don’t have one in your home.
4. Schedule Regular HVAC System Maintenance.
HVAC system maintenance is often overlooked but is a very important action on this list to improve your home’s air quality. Did you know that a maintenance program is required by equipment manufacturers to keep your equipment warranty in effect? Make sure you get a thorough deep cleaning on your HVAC and avoid those cheap “system tuneups.” Cheap tuneup options will only shorten the longevity and effectiveness of your most costly home appliance.
GreenBox offers a very thorough system maintenance called Care Plan. During this comprehensive system maintenance, your tech will be able to look at the internal workings of your equipment and make recommendations that will extend the life and high-performance of your HVAC system. As the old adage goes, “An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure.” So, give us a call today and get your HVAC system ready for spring and summer!
