One way to improve your indoor air quality is to maintain your air ducts. If you live in a home with central air conditioning, the airflow circulates through these ducts. Keeping them well-maintained reduces the number of pollutants in the air and also helps your air conditioner (AC) and furnace operate more efficiently.

Just like your lungs are an important connection to the rest of your respiratory system, your home’s ductwork, or air ducts, are importantly connected to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. For your HVAC system—and your lungs—to perform at peak level, the numerous airways need to be open and clear. All in the name of breathing properly.

If you have a large home with multiple stories or a large household with family members who prefer different temperatures, consider installing a zone control system.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the average home loses up to 30 percent of the air traveling through ductwork because of leaks and tears. Sealing your ducts can lead to substantial savings.

Your air ducts circulate a supply of fresh and properly treated air. But since ductwork mostly hides behind walls, ceilings, and floors, many Wisconsin homeowners don’t take the time to monitor its condition.

Your indoor air may be dirtier than you think it is. It may look and smell clean—no smoke, no odd odors—but it likely contains contaminants you do not want to breathe.

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is known as the silent killer for a reason—it can easily go undetected and cause illness and even death. It’s critical to learn how to prevent carbon monoxide leaks in your New Berlin home—as well as what the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are in case you are exposed.

What do you think of when you hear about air pollution? You might immediately imagine a giant cloud of smoke, cars spewing exhaust, or a trash incinerator––but have you ever thought about your own home in Waterford?

The holidays are around the corner here in Wisconsin. You may be shopping for gifts, hosting family, or taking a much-needed vacation somewhere warmer. 

Whatever plans you have—remember to change the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) filter according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. It boosts indoor air quality (IAQ), prolongs equipment lifespan, and will help you avoid an emergency repair this winter for your gas furnace or heat pump.
