Whole Home Electronic Air Cleaners

Are you thinking about installing a whole-home air filter? The choices of filters can be daunting to sift through and more and more designs appear on the market every day. Electronic air cleaners are a great option for any home. Whether you are concerned about operating costs or noise factors, electronic air filters are a great way to clean the air without many of the negatives that other systems have. Below you will find five reasons why we recommend an electronic air cleaner.
Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner
1.       Cost - Electronic air cleaners are a great way to clean the air of your home safely and economically. These systems do not use traditional filters. Instead they trap pollutants on washable plates in a manner very similar to a magnet. All you need to do is pull out the plates, clean them off and put them back into the machine! No fancy filters to purchase and replace which means minimal costs for you outside the one time purchase and installation fees.
2.       Effectiveness - Quality electronic air cleaners can remove potentially dangerous pollutants and allergens from the air that are as small as 0.01 micron (that is 1/2,540,000 of an inch!). Almost nothing can get by these systems which would make anyone breathe easier. Whether you are an asthma sufferer, you have young children or an elderly parent lives with you, an electronic air cleaner can help purify the air to protect the lungs of those that live in your home. 
3.       3. Breadth of Use - From pet dander to tobacco smoke, electronic air cleaners can grab them all. You will not believe the difference in air quality your home will experience. Remove toxins like dust mites and pollen from the air and reduce noticeable odors with one unobtrusive system. Many other types of systems will remove particles from the air but the odors remain or vice versa. With a quality electronic air cleaner, like the one made by Honeywell, you can expect a significant change in both these areas.
4.      4. Increased HVAC Efficiency - When pollutants are removed from the home environment, they can't clog up your air conditioning coils, ducts and filters. By adding an electronic air cleaner you will be prolonging the life and efficiency of your heating and air conditioning system.
5.       5. Quiet - Quality electronic air cleaners, like the one made by Honeywell, are extremely quiet. Have no fear that you will only exchange air pollution for noise pollution. A good system will run without grating on your nerves. Enjoy all the benefits of clean air without loud and bothersome fans.

Electronic air cleaners are a great option for any household. We spend a large chunk of our time in our homes, especially in areas where the temperatures hit extremes in either direction. Our inability to throw open a window to get some fresh air -- either because we live in a large city where outdoor pollutants are worse than indoor ones or because of the adverse weather -- makes an air cleaner a smart buy.

Air Conditioner Maintenance

Would we expect top performance from a car that hadn't had a tune up in over a year? Would we expect a piano to play every note on key without a tune up? So why do we expect this from our air conditioning and heating systems? Regular air conditioner maintenance is akin to a tune up and should be a crucial part of every homeowner's spring cleaning routine. 

As you turn off the furnace and throw open the windows to welcome the coming warmth, you need to begin thinking about air conditioner maintenance. Don't wait until it is too late! The first hot day of the year is the worst time to discover that there is something wrong with your system. In addition, most large repairs could be avoided with proper air conditioner maintenance.

But what is air conditioner maintenance? What can you do on your own and what is best to leave to the professionals? Here are 5 tasks to add to your to do list or ask the professionals to assist you with:

1.       Check Your System Twice a Year - As soon as you turn off your heat, it's time to start thinking about air conditioner maintenance. And as soon as you turn off the air conditioner, it's time to look at the heating. Don't wait until the last minute! If you do discover a problem that needs professional assistance, you want to have it dealt with before the hot weather strikes so that you aren't left on a waiting list with the other procrastinators.
2.       Don't Use Your Condensing Unit as a Storage Shelf - The outdoor part of your air conditioner works by drawing air into the system. This requires it to have plenty of space on top and around it. When you check your system, clear away any leaves or other debris that has gotten caught in and around the unit and resist the urge to store lawn furniture and other objects on top of it to prevent damage and keep it clear when you do need to turn it on.
3.       Change or Clean Your Filters - A dirty filter will restrict air flow to the unit. This can cause serious damage to the system and will make it inefficient to run. Make sure to replace or clean your filters regularly. How often is regularly? That depends on the type of filter and how often you run the system. Ask your air conditioner maintenance professional for a recommendation.
4.       Check the Thermostat - A thermostat will have a heating setting and a cooling setting. Make sure that it is properly set for the time of year. In addition, a professional can let you know if it is keeping the temperature as it should.

5.       Turn It on Before You Need It - Turn on the air conditioner before you hit a heat wave to check that it's working properly. If it doesn't seem to be producing cool air, the system could have a problem like being low on Freon. Low Freon levels are a sign there is a leak in the system. A professional can assist you in finding the leak and sealing it so that new Freon can be added to the system. Remember that an air conditioner is not meant to burn through Freon. If your air conditioner lacks Freon, this is a sign of a problem not the root of a problem.

Whether you attempt to do it yourself or hire a professional air conditioning contractor to take care of the entire project, make sure that air conditioner maintenance is marked down on the top of your pre-summer to do list.
