Monday, June 19th, 2023

We are big proponents of using whole-house dehumidifiers in Riverdale, GA and throughout South Metro Atlanta. Georgia experiences high humidity during much of the summer, and this humidity not only makes it much harder to stay cool, it can lead to damage to homes due to mold growth, the presence of bad odors, and even health issues because of black mold spores. Arranging with us to install a whole-house dehumidifier will make a huge difference in your house, and not just for comfort.

If you’ve already got a whole-house dehumidifier, you can’t expect it to just keep working year after year without problems, especially considering how much moisture it must remove from your indoor air. You need to take care of some regular maintenance steps and schedule professional maintenance as well. That’s because excess humidity can increase VOC levels in indoor air, impacting both comfort and health.

How Do Indoor Air Quality Services Maintain a Whole-House Dehumidifier?

Clean or replace the air filter regularly to maintain proper airflow
Inspect and clean coils to prevent buildup that reduces efficiency
Check and clear the condensate drain line to avoid clogs or leaks
Test humidity controls and recalibrate settings if needed
Inspect electrical connections and components for wear
Schedule professional maintenance to extend system lifespan

Here are our tips for getting a long life and best performance from your whole-house dehumidifier.

Why Won’t My Heat Pump Cool the House?

Monday, June 5th, 2023

If you have a heat pump for your home’s year-round comfort, it’s now the season when you’ll switch it over to cooling mode. This is one of the best advantages to having a heat pump: with just a simple adjustment to the thermostat, the heat pump changes from sending warm air into your home and begins sending in cool air.

But what if you turn on your heat pump on the first hot day and discover that it’s either not cooling down the house enough or is still sending out heated air? You may need professional heat pump repair in Covington, GA to deal with the trouble. We’ll look at why you might be experiencing this problem.

How Your Ductwork Can Become Leaky

Monday, February 13th, 2023

You would never set sail on the ocean, or even a small river or lake, with a leaky boat. But plenty of homeowners are content to run their heating and cooling systems with leaky ducts. They often don’t realize that they have ducts with leaks, but even if they do know, they may shrug it off as not that big a deal.

Although leaky ducts won’t put your life at risk the way a leaky boat would, it’s still not a good situation. When ducts develop air leaks, they cause several problems for a home:

A rise in heating and cooling costs because of all the air that’s getting away
Poor comfort, with hot and cold spots appearing around the house and poor airflow from the vents
Dust and other unwanted particles getting into the the ductwork and then into the living spaces

The best way to counteract this problem is to arrange for professional duct sealing in Riverdale, GA with our team. We’ll use our training and the best tools available to make your ducts airtight once again.
