Tips to Prevent Duct Contamination


Whether or not you decide to have the air ducts in your home cleaned, committing to a good preventive maintenance program is essential to minimize duct contamination.


To prevent dirt from entering the system:


§  Use the highest efficiency air filter recommended by the manufacturer of your  heating and cooling system.
 
§  Change filters regularly.


§  If your filters become clogged, change them more frequently.

§  Be sure you do not have any missing filters and that air cannot circumvent filters through gaps around the filter holder.


§  When having your heating and cooling system maintenance be sure to your service provider is cleaning the cooling coils and drain pans.

§  If you are doing renovation work that produces dust in your home, seal off supply and return registers and do not operate the heating and cooling system until after cleaning up the dust.


§  Remove dust and vacuum your home regularly. (Use a high efficiency vacuum (HEPA) cleaner or the highest efficiency filter bags your vacuum cleaner can take. (FYI- Vacuuming can increase the amount of dust in the air during and after vacuuming as well as in your ducts).

§  If your cooling and heating system includes in-duct humidification equipment, be sure to operate and maintain the humidifier strictly as recommended by the manufacturer.


REMEMBER-
Whether or not you decide to have the air ducts in your home cleaned, committing to a good preventive maintenance program is essential to minimize duct contamination.

HVAC Lingo- What you Don't Know Could Cost You


These terms will allow you to compare apples to apples. Knowing what the terms listed here mean will come in handy:

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER): The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rates how many BTUs an air conditioning unit will remove for each watt of electricity consumed. The higher the SEER, the less you spend on operating costs.

BTU (British Thermal Unit- is a basic measure of thermal (heat) energy. One BTU is the amount of energy needed to heat one pound of water one-degree Fahrenheit. The heat extracted from your home by your A/C is measured in BTUs.

Tonnage- A ton is the cooling capacity of an air conditioning system. Air conditioner equipment power in the U.S. is described in terms of "tons of refrigeration". A ton of refrigeration is approximately equal to the cooling power of 2000 pounds of ice melting in a 24-hour period.

Heat Pump - A heat pump is a compressor that cycles hot or cold air. It is a device that is designed to move thermal energy in the opposite direction of heat flow by absorbing heat from a cold space which is released to a warmer space.

Electric Heat- Straight Cool- just cools your house and must work with an electric source to heat your home.

Heat Load Calculation - Buildings gain heat from sunlight, conduction through the walls, and internal heat sources such as people and electrical equipment. Buildings lose heat through conduction during cold weather. Our technicians use heat load calculations to determine the HVAC needs of the space being cooled or heated.

If you are considering replacing your air conditioning system with a new efficient one call Superior (http://www.superiorheatingandcooling.com/installation/) for a FREE in-Home assessment. (Main Office) 813-854-3449
