With the <a href=\"\/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Coronavirus outbreak (opens in a new tab)\">Coronavirus outbreak<\/a>, families are seeking ways to keep their own homes healthier and safer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is no guarantee that a particular product or service will significantly reduce the risk of virus transmission, there are steps you can take toward a healthier home. By implementing some best practices for a cleaner and more breathable home, homeowners can help improve their immunities and limit the risk of catching germs and viruses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Did You Last Have Your AC Cleaned?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, you&#8217;ll answer &#8220;this past spring&#8221; to this question. We do recommend professional tune-ups each spring for your air conditioning system&#8211;and each fall for your heater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An essential part of these maintenance appointments includes our technicians comprehensively cleaning your HVAC systems, inside and out, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your blower fan<\/li><li>Your condenser and evaporator coils<\/li><li>Your air filter (Also, you should be changing this every 1-3 months)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping the AC system clean is one of the most important steps in keeping an indoor environment healthy, but it&#8217;s definitely not the only step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider Your Ductwork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Air flows through your system&#8217;s ductwork and exits through the ventilation system into each room of your household. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If these air ducts are full of contaminants such as allergens, mold spores, or even debris from outside, they will get blown into your home and create problems&#8211;especially for folks who already suffer from allergies or asthma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get the Right Indoor Air Quality Products in Place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A clean air conditioner and air duct system covers the basics. But to truly achieve cleaner, more breathable air in your home, you&#8217;ll want to consider what indoor air quality products and services will most benefit you. A whole-house air purifier or air cleaner is a great choice for almost all homes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different types of whole-home air filtration and air purifiers on the market, and we work with a wide variety of them. For instance, you might consider the installation of a UV air purifier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than drawing contaminants out of the air, a UV air purifier attacks particles like mold spores and bacteria right at the source&#8211;your ductwork&#8211;before they even have the <em>chance<\/em> to enter your indoor air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to investing in an air purifier for your home, there may be more than one viable option. Many times, homeowners find that a combination of indoor air quality products helps keep their homes healthier and more comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may mean investing in a combination of a UV air purifier, electronic air cleaner, dehumidifier, ERV system, and more. Dehumidifiers work to keep your humidity levels at a comfortable level to help you avoid the property damage and health problems that can come with excess moisture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An ERV system, or energy recovery ventilator, allows you to enjoy fresh outdoor air that&#8217;s been pre-cooled or pre-heated, while still using your HVAC system with no loss of efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>To learn more about our indoor air quality solutions, or to schedule  <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chambersburg, PA air purifier installation (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/indoor-air-quality\/air-filtration-systems-air-purifiers\" target=\"_blank\">Chambersburg, PA air purifier installation<\/a>, contact <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Premier HVAC Services (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/contact\/send-a-message\" target=\"_blank\">Premier HVAC Services<\/a> today! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homeowners are increasingly interested in ensuring their homes are healthy as possible.
