Commonly Asked Questions
What benefits does whole-home humidity control offer over a portable dehumidifier?
As a homeowner in this area, you already know that controlling humidity is important to control the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
A portable dehumidifier may be fine for a small area, but they aren't designed to service your entire house effectively. Additionally, they are noisy and require a great deal of maintenance.
A whole-home solution is typically more energy efficient, removing 50% more water from the air per kilowatt hour than a portable dehumidifier.
How can I remember to set my thermostat higher and lower depending on the weather?
One easy solution is to have a programmable thermostat installed. We have all heard about the energy savings that can result from just slight adjustments to the thermostat temperature in winter and summer.
But it can often be a hassle to manually adjust it depending on changing conditions and your busy lifestyle. A programmable thermostat can automatically increase or decrease the temperature when you're not home.
My family suffers from allergies. How can I reduce allergens and improve the quality of the air in my home?
Simple things you can do involve removing sources of allergens including feather pillows or bedding, pet hair, using a vacuum with a HEPA filter and dusting with material that traps dust.
For a long-term solution, we recommend the installation of an air filtration system. Similar to the issues seen with portable air filtration system, a whole-home solution can save money with electricity, maintenance and is simply more effective.
What is a SEER rating?
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and is a measurement to indicate the efficiency of different types of equipment, similar to miles per gallon for cars.
The higher the rating, the more efficient the unit and the more money you can save on your energy costs.
