Many devices for your HVAC system can help you conserve energy and save money. They can also make your home more comfortable and even increase its value. But did you know that achieving better indoor air quality can be as simple as upgrading your HVAC system?
Here trusted air conditioning service contractor American Refrigeration Heating and Air Conditioning Co., Inc. describes several HVAC add-ons that can increase the air quality, energy efficiency and comfort in your home. Check out some of the popular HVAC add-ons you might want to invest in here.
Programmable thermostat. A programmable thermostat will automatically turn your HVAC system up or down when you normally go to bed or head to work, saving you a lot of money on energy. You can set it to bring your home back to a comfortable temperature before you wake up or come home. If your schedule or your preferences change, you can easily control many programmable thermostats from anywhere using a computer or smartphone. These devices are easy to install, and they can also monitor your home’s humidity or remind you to change your air filter.
Dehumidifier. During humid summers, the air inside your house can feel hot and stuffy. You can make your home more comfortable, save energy and prevent mold growth by using a dehumidifier. Since drier air usually feels cooler, you won’t need to use your air conditioner as much if you have a dehumidifier. You can have a whole-home model installed directly in your ductwork to quietly remove excess moisture throughout the entire house.
Humidifier. While some homes are too humid, others aren’t quite humid enough. Air that’s too dry can trigger asthma and allergies and cause other issues, drying out your skin, eyes, nose and throat. If low humidity is often an issue in your house, a whole-home humidifier could be the perfect solution. It can add moisture to the air as needed to manage allergy symptoms, make your home feel warmer and prevent dry skin.
Ventilator. Many modern homes are designed with very tight building envelopes. This is great for maintaining efficient heating service in your home, but not so great for indoor air quality. Without the right exchange of indoor and outdoor air, your home can quickly become stuffy, and you may notice the air becoming stale or smelly. One possible solution is to install a dedicated ventilator to provide the fresh air you need.
Air purifier. Air purifiers, also called air cleaners, filter air to remove any pollutants that the filter in your HVAC system may have missed. You can filter one or two rooms at a time with an inexpensive portable air purifier or take care of your entire house with a whole-home system. Some units can even remove bacteria from the air.
UV lamps. The indoor coils and drain pan of your home’s HVAC system are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and biological growth. These organisms can affect indoor air quality by hindering airflow and lowering your system’s efficiency. They can also make their way into your home’s air supply, directly contributing to poor indoor air quality. Fortunately, Carrier® offers a simple solution: germicidal UV lamps that kill bacteria and protect your home from harmful organisms.
